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.

Very pleasant welcome from reception, and the dental nurse. Ashley always very pleasant and chatty, and if further treatment required always explains the options clearly.

I can't say I ever find dental visits easy, do any of us?! but Ahmet is excellent and I always feel in a safe and skilled pair of hands. The receptionists always friendly and welcoming too and the place is spotlessly clean.

Dr Sim has an excellent manner with patients and seems highly clinically skilled. He is also unusually gentle when giving local anaesthetic injections.

I completely trust the guidance of dentist and dental nurse plus their expertise. They put you at ease and answer clearly any questions you need to ask.

I have been a patient at Durban Dental Centre since I was 10 years old. At this point it was still an NHS practice but I remained as a patient when it became a private practice. Why? Because of the quality of care I have always received here. Dentists have come and gone but I can honestly say that every one of the dentists that have looked after my dental care for the last 40 years have been amazing. I trust them and even though I no longer live in the area, Durban Dental Centre remains my practice.

My experience as a patient of the Durban Dental Surgery has been exceptional. Ashley's competence, customer care and overall professionalism is exemplary. He is ably assisted by the dental nurse who is extraordinarily warm and welcoming. I would strongly recommend Durban Dental Surgery to my family and friends.It must also be noted that Anda the Hygienist is an amazing and experienced asset to the surgery.Thank you for attaining such high and enviable standards. Keep it up!!
