Restoring Strength and Appearance
Crowns (also called caps) cover and protect a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance.
What Crowns Can Do for You:
- Reinforce cracked, broken, or heavily filled teeth
- Restore chewing function & stability
- Match surrounding teeth in color & shape
- Offer long-term durability & stain resistance
Why You Might Need a Crown
Sometimes a filling isn’t enough — the damage or decay is too extensive. Without a crown, you risk:
- Further fracture or breakage
- Loss of tooth structure
- Unsightly discoloration or deformity
- Compromised chewing & pain
If your tooth is weakened, discoloured, cracked, or extensively restored, a crown may preserve it beautifully.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I always need a root canal before a crown?
No. Over 90% of patients receiving a crown do not require root canal treatment first.
How long does getting a crown take?
With in-house milling, many crowns can be produced and placed in a single visit (often same day)
Will it match my other teeth?
Yes — crowns are customized in color, shape, and anatomy to blend seamlessly with adjacent teeth.
Is it safe and durable?
Yes. Crowns protect teeth, resist stains better than enamel, and with proper care can last many years.
Will my bite feel “off”?
We test and adjust the fit so it feels natural. A well-designed crown should not feel foreign.
Can crowns fix discoloured or misshapen teeth?
Absolutely. Crowns are often used for aesthetic correction when other cosmetic options are inadequate.
Can I get this in any branch?
Yes — crowns are available at all our clinics in Pretoria, Moreleta Park, and Johannesburg.
