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.

They fitted me in at short notice. They did a very good job and explained everything in great detail and were very gentle.

I am not well at present and the kindness and consideration shown to me is always above and beyond at what is an incredibly difficult time for me. I could not be more satisfied with not not the dental care but the personal care and understanding I receive.

I am a nervous patient after experiencing a lot of pain at dentists over the years but I was listened to and was allowed to play my music throughout which kept me calm ☺️

From reception to Hygienist and Dentist my care was 5*. I felt very well cared for and received a high standard of care.

Reception staff polite and friendly. Ashley Sim (dentist) was thorough, thoughtful, considerate. He gave me confidence in that if he thought I didn't need a treatment, or would not benefit from it, he said so. Therefore, I am confident if he says I need treatment, then I do.
