Crown

If a tooth has been broken, weakened, or damaged by decay, your dentist may recommend a dental crown to restore its strength and appearance. At Crowley Dental in Bishopstown, Cork, we provide high-quality dental crowns designed to protect your tooth while blending seamlessly with your natural smile.

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over your existing tooth, reinforcing its structure and restoring its shape, function, and appearance. Our crowns are carefully matched to your surrounding teeth, so they look completely natural.

When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

Dental crowns are commonly used when a tooth is:

  • Broken or cracked
  • Severely decayed
  • Weakened after root canal treatment
  • Worn down over time
  • Discoloured or misshapen

Crowns not only improve the appearance of your smile but also help to prevent further damage to the tooth.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Having a crown fitted typically requires two visits to our Bishopstown dental clinic. We ensure that both the fit and appearance are perfect before final placement.

First Appointment

  • Examination and preparation of the tooth
  • Taking impressions for your custom crown
  • Fitting of a temporary crown
  • Shade matching to ensure a natural finish

Second Appointment

  • Removal of the temporary crown
  • Fitting and adjustment of your permanent crown
  • Securing the crown using strong dental adhesive

Is Getting a Crown Painful?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel any pain during treatment.

It’s normal to take a short time to adjust to the feel of your new crown. If it feels uncomfortable after a few days, we can make minor adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.

Types of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns can be made from a range of materials, depending on your needs:

  • Porcelain or ceramic (most natural appearance)
  • Porcelain fused to metal
  • Gold or metal alloys

We will recommend the most suitable option based on the condition of your tooth, the location in your mouth, and your aesthetic preferences.

Caring for Your Dental Crown

Once fitted, your crown should be cared for just like your natural teeth:

  • Brush twice daily
  • Floss every day
  • Attend regular dental check-ups
  • Avoid excessive sugar and maintain a healthy diet

With proper care, a dental crown can last for many years.
