Rebuild a weakened tooth with a crown made to feel like your own.
A dental crown is a custom ceramic cap that fits neatly over a weakened or damaged tooth, protecting it while restoring its natural shape and colour. We often suggest crowns for teeth that have been heavily filled, cracked, worn down or treated with root canal therapy. Each one is designed from scratch to blend into your smile, so it feels comfortable and functions just like your own tooth. We give patients a choice between two leading ceramic materials: zirconia, known for its strength and a popular pick for back teeth or those who clench and grind; and E.max, prized for its glass-like translucency and natural glow, which suits front teeth and visible spots particularly well. What sets us apart is our own dental laboratory on site, meaning our clinical team and technicians work hand in hand throughout your treatment. That means a faster turnaround, clearer communication and a beautifully made restoration every time.

Both work well. Zirconia is the tougher, more resilient option, while E.max gives a more translucent, natural look. We'll recommend the right one based on the tooth's position and your priorities.
With good brushing habits and regular check-ups, a crown can comfortably last well over a decade.
Yes — every crown is shade-matched to your own teeth so it blends in rather than standing out.
Keeping it under our roof means our dentists and technicians can work closely together, which improves quality, communication and speed.
No — the tooth is numbed beforehand, so you shouldn't feel discomfort during treatment.
Crowns are typically suggested when a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, worn or otherwise weakened, protecting what's left while restoring its strength and appearance.
