Dental crown suitability
A dental crown covers and strengthens a tooth when a filling is no longer enough. We assess the tooth, bite and X-ray needs before confirming whether a same-day or next-day dental crown workflow is suitable.

A root canal treated tooth can become weaker over time and may need dental crown protection.

A dental crown may help protect a cracked tooth from further splitting under bite pressure.
Dental crown workflow
Step 1
We check whether the tooth suits crowning and a same-day or next-day workflow. An X-ray may be taken for a more detailed examination.
Step 2
The tooth is shaped so the dental crown can cover and protect it properly.
Step 3
We digitally scan your tooth and design the dental crown for fit, bite and appearance.
Step 4
The dental crown is milled, polished and fitted while we check bite and comfort.

Dental crown materials
Both materials have their advantages, and the best choice depends on your needs.


At Aloha Dental, we recommend the most suitable dental crown material based on the tooth's location, your bite, and your aesthetic expectations.
A filling is suitable when only a small portion of the tooth is damaged. If a tooth has a large cavity, has undergone root canal treatment, or has a crack, a dental crown provides full coverage and helps strengthen the remaining tooth structure. During your consultation, we will assess your tooth and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
The procedure is usually not painful because the tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia.

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a well-made dental crown can typically last more than 5 years. Its lifespan depends on factors such as oral hygiene, bite forces, teeth grinding, and routine dental maintenance.
Yes. Once your permanent dental crown is cemented, you can generally eat as normal. We recommend avoiding very hard foods such as ice or hard sweets, and not using your teeth to open packaging, as these habits can damage both natural teeth and dental crowns.
“Hi Dr Caren, I'm good after the tooth extraction. Thank you for treating me in the most assuring and comfortable manner. Might see you in the near future for denture.”
“As a neurodivergent patient, a trip to see the dentist has always been an overwhelming sensory and communication experience. However, I am lucky to have met Doctor Caren as she is an exceptionally kind, understanding and intuitive dentist. My three years experience with her has been great as she has helped me overcome my fear in dental procedures by explaining to me “Why” and “How” and also showing me how her tools work before we begin. Her assurance and calm manner puts my nerves at ease and make me feel that everything will be alright!”
“My teeth no longer hurt and I don't feel any pain when I bite. Thank you so much :>”
