A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged, cracked or root-canal-treated tooth and restores its shape, strength and colour. At Top Smile, DHA-licensed dentists offer every major crown type, from budget PFM to premium E-Max, and recommend the right one for your tooth position, bite and budget. Lab-made crowns take two visits over 7–10 working days; CEREC crowns are finished in a single visit.

Types of Dental Crowns

Zirconia is the strongest and most popular choice for back teeth, while E-Max looks the most natural on front teeth.

Zirconia Crowns

Made from zirconium dioxide, zirconia crowns are extremely strong (900+ MPa), metal-free and milled by CAD/CAM for an accurate fit.

• Pros: Strongest ceramic, ideal for grinders. No dark gum line or metal allergy. Lasts 15–20 years. Modern multilayer zirconia has good translucency.
• Cons: Slightly less translucent than E-Max on front teeth. Can wear opposing teeth if not polished well.
• Best for: Molars, premolars, bruxism and implant crowns.

E-Max Crowns

E-Max (IPS e.max by Ivoclar Vivadent) is a lithium disilicate glass ceramic with excellent light transmission, so it looks the most like natural enamel.

• Pros: Best aesthetics. Strong for a glass ceramic (400+ MPa). Minimal tooth preparation. Bonds strongly to the tooth.
• Cons: Higher fracture risk on back teeth, especially for grinders. Costs more than PFM.
• Best for: Front teeth, smile makeovers and any visible tooth.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

A metal core gives strength and a porcelain layer gives a tooth-coloured surface. PFM crowns have decades of clinical success.

• Pros: Proven track record. Handles biting force well. Lowest-cost tooth-coloured crown.
• Cons: Metal margin can show as a dark line when gums recede. Porcelain can chip. Rare metal sensitivity.
• Best for: Budget treatment, back teeth and long-span bridges.

Full Gold Crowns

Gold alloy crowns are the most durable restoration in dentistry, but they are not tooth-coloured.

• Pros: 20–30 year lifespan. Least tooth removal. Gentle on opposing teeth. Precise seal at the margin.
• Cons: Gold colour. Higher material cost.
• Best for: Second molars not visible when smiling, and heavy bites.

Same-Day CEREC Crowns

CEREC crowns are milled in our clinic from a single block of high-grade ceramic. Preparation to bonding takes one appointment of about 2–3 hours, ideal for busy residents and visitors on a short trip.

How to Choose the Right Crown

Your Priority	Recommended Crown
Best appearance for front teeth	E-Max
Strongest for back teeth	Zirconia
Lowest cost	PFM
Maximum lifespan	Full Gold
Front tooth + heavy bite	Zirconia-Layered
Done in one visit	CEREC
Implant crown	Zirconia (back) or E-Max (front)

The Dental Crown Procedure

A lab-made crown takes two visits, 7–10 working days apart. A CEREC crown is done in one visit.

1. Consultation and digital imaging. Your dentist checks the tooth and gums, takes digital X-rays and confirms a crown is the right treatment.
2. Tooth preparation. Under local anaesthetic, decay is removed and the tooth is shaped to hold the crown.
3. Digital impressions. A scan maps your bite, and the shade is matched to your neighbouring teeth.
4. Temporary crown. A temporary crown protects the tooth while the lab makes your final crown.
5. Fitting and bonding. At the second visit, we check the fit and bite, then permanently bond the crown.

Dr. Sara Mohamed and Dr. Shahanath both handle crown cases at Top Smile. The supervising dentist depends on whether your case is restorative or cosmetic.

Caring for Your Crown

A crown does not decay, but the tooth under it can, so daily cleaning at the gum line decides how long it lasts.

• Brush twice a day with a soft brush and fluoride toothpaste.
• Floss daily where the crown meets the gum, and use an interdental brush or water flosser for tight spots.
• Avoid ice, hard sweets, sticky toffees and popcorn kernels, which can chip the crown or loosen the bond.
• Visit us every six months so any problem is caught early.
