A crown covers the whole tooth, restoring its shape and strength and protecting it from breaking after a root canal.
What is crowns & bridges?
A crown is a cap shaped like the tooth that covers it completely, restoring its strength and shape and protecting it from cracking. It is often used after a root canal on a back tooth, or for a broken tooth or a large filling that no longer holds. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by resting on the teeth beside it. Both are measured with the clinic's digital scanner.

What is the difference between a bridge and an implant?
A bridge replaces a missing tooth by resting on the teeth either side, while an implant is fixed in the bone and doesn't rely on neighbouring teeth. Dr. Hiba explains both so you can choose.
What are crowns made of?
Tooth-coloured crowns are available, and the material is chosen for where the tooth is, the chewing force on it and the look you want. The doctor explains the right option for your tooth.
Why use a digital scanner?
The digital scanner captures the tooth in 3D instead of traditional impression paste. Many patients find it more comfortable, and it helps the crown fit accurately.
After treatment: care tips
- Avoid sticky and hard foods on the temporary crown.
- Brush and floss around the crown like a natural tooth.
- Mild sensitivity can last a few days after fitting.
- Tell the clinic if the crown feels high when you bite.
- Keep regular check-ups so the crown and gum around it can be checked.
Common questions about crowns & bridges
How many visits does a crown take?
Usually two: the first to prepare the tooth, take the digital scan and fit a temporary crown, the second to fit the final crown.
Will the crown look natural?
The crown's shade and shape are matched to your teeth, and the material is chosen for where the tooth is and how much chewing force it takes.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The tooth is numbed while it is prepared, so most patients feel no pain. Mild sensitivity can follow and fades within days.
How long does a crown last?
A crown can last many years with daily care and regular check-ups. Habits like teeth grinding can affect it, and the doctor will advise you on how to protect it.
