About this treatment
Crowns at Yes Dental
A crown is a cap that covers a tooth that is cracked, worn down, heavily filled or weakened. It restores the tooth's shape, strength and appearance.
Our crowns are tooth-coloured, so they blend in with your natural smile. They are made to fit your bite and feel comfortable from day one.

FAQs
Questions about crowns
How do I know if I need a crown?
A crown is often suggested for a cracked or broken tooth, a large filling, or after a root canal. Your dentist will explain why.
Is getting a crown painful?
No. The tooth is numbed, so you should feel comfortable during treatment. Mild sensitivity afterwards is common and usually passes.
How many visits does a crown take?
Usually two visits: one to prepare the tooth and one to fit the final crown. Your dentist will confirm the plan for you.
How long does a crown last?
Many crowns last for years. Good brushing, flossing and regular check-ups help them last longer.
Can I eat normally with a crown?
Yes. After the numbness wears off, you can eat as usual. Avoid very hard or sticky foods on a temporary crown.
General information only. Your dentist will advise what is right for you after an examination.
