Tooth-preserving prep

Crowns vs implants – what’s the difference?

Choosing between rebuilding a tooth and replacing one? Compare when a crown is ideal and when a single-tooth implant makes more sense.

Tooth rebuild

Dental crowns

Best when the tooth is still present but weakened (cracked, heavily filled or after root canal). A custom ceramic, zirconia or gold cap restores strength and appearance.

  • Protects and reinforces your natural tooth
  • Matched shade, shape and bite for comfort
  • Digital scans for precise fit and margins
  • Does not replace a missing tooth (no root)

Tooth replacement

Dental implants

Ideal when the tooth is missing or beyond saving. A small titanium root supports a crown without preparing neighbouring teeth.

  • Preserves adjacent teeth and helps maintain bone
  • Looks and functions like a natural tooth
  • Brush and floss normally once healed
  • Staged treatment; long-lasting with good care

Answers at a glance

Dental crowns - FAQs

When do I need a crown instead of a filling?
Crowns are recommended when a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, worn, or has had a root canal—situations where a simple filling wouldn’t reliably strengthen the tooth. A crown wraps and protects what’s left to help prevent further fracture.
What materials do you use?
We offer metal-free ceramics like lithium disilicate (E.max) for great aesthetics, high-strength zirconia for heavier bites, porcelain-fused-to-metal in selected cases, and gold for durability. We’ll recommend the best match for your tooth, bite forces and smile goals.
Will my crown look natural?
Yes, shade matching, photographs and custom characterisation help your crown blend with neighbouring teeth. At the fit, we check the colour, shape and edges before bonding, and can make small adjustments if needed.
Does getting a crown hurt?
Treatment is done with local anaesthetic so you should be comfortable. It’s normal to feel mild tenderness from the gums or temporary crown for a few days; simple pain relief usually helps. Tell us if you’re nervous, we’ll pace things and keep you informed.
How long does a crown last?
Longevity varies with bite forces, tooth position, material and home care. With regular check-ups, hygiene and night-guard wear (if you grind), many crowns last well over 10 years. We’ll review yours routinely and advise on maintenance.
What’s the process and timeline?
Usually two visits: (1) prepare the tooth and take digital scans; a neat temporary is fitted. (2) about 2–3 weeks later, we fit and fine-tune your custom crown. We’ll provide a clear plan with timings at your consult.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Often yes, especially for back teeth. A crown helps protect the tooth from cracking and restores strength for chewing. We’ll confirm what’s best for your specific tooth.
How do I look after a crowned tooth?
Brush twice daily, clean between teeth (floss or interdental brushes) and attend routine reviews. Avoid very sticky foods for the first day after fitting. If your bite feels “high” or the crown loosens, contact us, don’t try to glue it yourself.
