Crowns can be used to help repair and restore a tooth that has become damaged due to decay or has become broken as a result of injury or trauma.
Designed to replace the top of the tooth, crowns are fixed to the natural tooth, covering it like a cap or crown. With a crown, we’re able to restore full form and function to the tooth, while also helping to strengthen and fortify it for the future.
Crowns can be made of a variety of materials, including composite resin and special metals such as gold. Here at The Ivory Clinic, we use Zirconia crowns, which are made from zirconium dioxide and are both highly durable and brilliantly biocompatible.
We can also use E-max crowns, which also offer great strength and durability and compatibility alongside a very natural-looking finish that fits in with the rest of your teeth.
Once you and your dental team have determined that a crown is the most appropriate treatment for you, we’ll first numb the area being treated. Then, we’ll remove the decayed or damaged parts of the tooth and shape the natural tooth to prepare it for receiving a crown.
Next, we’ll take an impression or digital scan of your mouth – this will be sent off to a dental laboratory where your unique crown will be made for you.
At this point, we will fit you for a temporary crown, and once your crown is ready, you’ll return to us here at The Ivory Clinic, where we’ll bond the permanent crown to the tooth.

In the end, I had to get the tooth removed, which made me really anxious since it was my first time going through something like that. Even though I felt a bit embarrassed about my anxiety, the dentist was incredibly understanding and supportive. She’s not only kind and professional, but also genuinely fun to talk to. Everyone at the clinic has always treated me with a smile. I’m really grateful to the entire team. Visiting the dentist can be a very stressful experience, and they make it so much easier.”

“I highly recommend dentist Raj supported by her team Komal and Nav at the Ivory Clinic. She has recently been...” treating me for a tricky situation which has required 3 of my teeth to be removed and replacements to be added to my denture. This was done last week. The procedure went very smoothly and faster than I had expected. I have experienced no pain and very little discomfort. I have another unconnected problem that needs to be treated. Raj has been sensitive to the cost that the different approaches will involve when she has explained the treatment options to me. She wants to do the best for her clients and is not out to make as much money as she can for herself.”
