Overview
A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a weakened tooth to rebuild its strength, shape and appearance. It is commonly advised after deep decay, fractures, root canal treatment, or to complete an implant. SmileX offers metal, ceramic and zirconia options matched to your tooth shade.

Common questions
Is getting a crown painful?
No — the tooth is fully numbed during shaping. Mild sensitivity for a day or two afterwards is normal.
How many visits does it take?
Usually two visits about a week apart: preparation with temporary crown, then permanent fixing.
How long does a crown last?
Around 10–15 years or more with brushing, flossing and regular checkups.
What affects the cost?
Depends on material — metal, ceramic-fused or full zirconia — plus lab quality. Your estimate lists each option side by side.
