Your Crown Treatment Journey
Assessment
Your EyeSmile dentist will examine your tooth clinically, along with x-rays, to assess how much healthy structure is remaining. They then determine if a crown is the best restoration solution for you.
Tooth Preparation
To ensure a painless procedure, your natural tooth is shaped to accommodate the crown under a local anaesthetic. The amount of natural tooth removed is determined by how much damage there is, along with the chosen crown material.
Impressions & Temporary Crown
Your dentist will now take a traditional impression or digital scan of your tooth and fit a temporary crown, that will protect your tooth and maintain your appearance, while your permanent crown is being made in the laboratory.
Laboratory Fabrication
Your dental crown is made to exact specifications by specialist technicians, ensuring that they match the shade of your teeth and it's shaped to fit your bite to perfection.
Fitting & Cementation
The final step is ensuring the permanent crown has the correct bite and fit, it is permanently cemented into place, with final adjustments being made to ensure it feels as natural as it looks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Feel free to contact the EyeSmile team for personal answers to your most pressing questions.
How long do dental crowns last?
Dental crowns can last ten to fifteen years, if not longer, with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. We use porcelain and zirconia crowns, ensuring that they are durable and long lasting. How long they last depends on where the crown is positioned, your bite, and your oral hygiene habits.
Is getting a crown painful?
You should not experience pain, as the tooth is prepared under local anaesthetic. It is normal to experience some sensitivity a few days after the preparation stage. At EyeSmile, we provide a temporary crown, protecting your natural tooth, while your permanent crown is being made in the laboratory.
What types of crown are available at EyeSmile?
At EyeSmile, we provide porcelain crowns, the most natural for aesthetics, along with zirconia crowns, which are best suited for high-strength applications. We also provide porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, when needed. We will make our material recommendation based on the positioning, functioning, and appearance requirements of the tooth.
Do I need a crown after root canal treatment?
In the majority of cases, you will need a crown after root canal treatment. Root canal treatment removes the dental pulp from inside your tooth, leaving it brittle and prone to fracturing. A dental crown provides structural protection, helping the tooth restore full functionality. Your EyeSmile dentist will recommend a dental crown after root canal treatment, if they feel its a necessity, based on your situation.
