Dental crowns are custom-made, tooth-shaped caps that fit over the top of your existing teeth. They can be made from porcelain, ceramic, or a combination of the two materials. Porcelain or ceramic crowns are great for your front teeth as they match the shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth very well. This allows them to blend in seamlessly with the rest of your smile for a natural-looking result. A ceramic crown is also very easy to clean because there is no metal on the sides to trap dirt.
Dental crowns are recommended when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be repaired with a filling or other dental procedures. They can also be used to protect weak teeth from fracturing, and to restore broken or severely worn down teeth. In some cases, the crowns are used to improve the appearance of your smile, such as when closing gaps between teeth or when correcting discoloration.
With proper care, porcelain or ceramic crowns in Wellington can last for many years. However, the exact lifespan of your crowns will depend on how well you take care of them—it’s important to brush and floss regularly and visit your dentist at least twice a year for checkups. The average cost will depend on various factors, such as the type of material and the complexity of your treatment.
There are a variety of cosmetic crowns for both aesthetic and functional purposes. You can find porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns, all-porcelain or all-ceramic crowns, and zirconia crowns. All these types are designed to look natural while providing the strength and durability that you need.

The process typically requires two visits to the dentist. During your first appointment, your dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damage and shaping it to fit a custom-made crown. Impressions will be taken and a temporary crown will be placed while you wait for your permanent restoration to be fabricated at a lab. your second visit, the permanent crown will be placed and adjusted for a comfortable fit and natural-looking appearance.
The entire process typically takes two visits over the course of two to three weeks. The amount of time it takes for the restoration to be fabricated will depend on the type of material used and the complexity of your case. Your dentist will let you know how long it should take during your initial consultation.
The process typically doesn’t involve any pain. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but this is normal and should subside once the tooth has been prepared and a temporary crown is in place. If you do experience any discomfort after your treatment, we recommend taking over-the-counter pain medication as needed.
