When a tooth is severely damaged, weakened, cracked, or worn down, a simple filling isn’t enough to restore its integrity. Porcelain Crowns (often called “caps”) are custom-made restorations that completely cover the entire visible portion of a compromised tooth, restoring its original shape, size, strength, and appearance.
At Wallan Dental, we use high-quality porcelain and ceramic materials that are meticulously matched to your natural tooth color, ensuring your crown is durable, fully functional, and virtually indistinguishable from your other teeth. A crown provides essential protection, prolonging the life of your natural tooth.
A crown is typically recommended for teeth that require significant structural reinforcement:
The tooth is reshaped to allow the crown to fit over it without adding bulk. We then take a precise digital or traditional impression of the prepared tooth. This impression is sent to a top dental laboratory along with specifications for the colour and fit. We will place a temporary crown to protect your tooth.

With excellent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, porcelain crowns can last 10 to 15 years, and often much longer. They are very durable but can chip or fracture if subjected to extreme force (e.g., chewing ice).

No. The tooth preparation procedure is done using local anaesthetic, so you will not feel any pain. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity between the preparation and the final placement, which is managed by the temporary crown.

Yes. While the crown itself cannot decay, the tooth structure underneath it, particularly near the gum line, is still vulnerable to decay. This is why excellent oral hygiene, including flossing around the crown, is essential.

We primarily recommend all-porcelain or ceramic crowns because they offer superior aesthetics and strength. They are an excellent choice for front teeth and are often strong enough for back teeth, eliminating the need for visible metal.

A tooth that has undergone Root Canal Treatment is often more brittle and prone to fracture. Placing a crown provides the necessary full coverage and protection, preventing the tooth from breaking apart during normal chewing function.
