Crowns
Crowns are advised when it is necessary to protect, strengthen and restore teeth. They may also be used to cover discoloured or misshapen teeth to improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Available in a range of materials, our crowns permanently sit over the entire visible surface of your existing tooth and are made to look as real as your own natural tooth.
The procedure takes two appointments. At the first appointment, we minimally shape the tooth and place a temporary crown. About 14 days later at your second appointment, we remove the temporary crown, place your new crown and check the fit and your bite.
The crown can last for many years if good oral hygiene is maintained, depending on the condition of the original tooth. Additional care should be taken to keep the crown and surrounding area clean. Your Durban Dental Centre dentist or dental hygienist will recommend an appropriate home care regime.

I’ve had a bad experience with another practice which left me in terrible pain for couple of weeks following treatment although they knew there was a problem. I’d contacted Durban out of desperation. I was seen quickly and interim treatment started. It felt very professional and calm. I felt in good hands. I didn’t return to the previous practice. The Hygienist at Durban really reassures me through out the treatment. Checking I’m ok. Telling me the next step. Just that interaction helps me relax and feel comfortable.

Ashley and his team have been amazing. Over the last few years I have had a lot of work done. Considering what was done suffered no pain or aching jaw afterwards.

All staff are friendly, efficient, and explain what they are doing. If further treatment us required then it is fully explained why. Costs of future treatments are provided. Reception make booking in, paying and making next appointment easy. They try to a accommodate your requirements.

Great Team at Durban Dental Centre! Always impressed with all the staff at my Dentist. From the smiling welcome every-time I go, to the great care and attention from my Dentist, Dental Nurse and Hygienist. Latest visit was for two fillings, something I’ve not had for probably 40 years. Minimal pain, explained what was being done, constantly checked I was okay, and the end result is great. Thank you!
