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 have recommended people in the past who have been extremely satisfied with the practice and treatment carried out by Ashley and the practice. I myself have always been impressed with the highly professional service given by both Ashly and Kate, who have treated me since they first started at the Durban Dental Centre. Which is quite a few of the 44 years I have attended the practice.

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.
