Dental Crown

 At Light Dental Clinic, dental crowns are provided as part of our complete dental treatments and services, ensuring precise fit, long-term durability, and natural aesthetics.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. It is commonly used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but can still be preserved.

Crowns help:

  • Protect weakened teeth from breaking
  • Restore function for chewing
  • Improve appearance of damaged or discoloured teeth

Highly recommended – outstanding surgeon Dr Pang Lee Yek Priyantha is an exceptional Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon. From the first consultation to treatment planning, he was highly professional, patient, and extremely thorough. His surgical skills are outstanding — careful, precise, and confident, which gave us great reassurance throughout the process. What truly sets Dr Pang apart is his flexibility and genuine care for his patients. He took the time to understand our situation, adjusted the treatment plan to meet our needs, and went the extra mile to make sure everything was done smoothly and safely. He never rushed us and always explained things clearly, which made a stressful situation much easier to handle. His calm, kind, and reassuring manner, combined with his excellent technical skills, makes him a doctor you can fully trust. We felt we were in very capable hands throughout. I would strongly recommend Dr Pang to anyone who needs oral or maxillofacial surgery. Truly one of the best.

Dental Crown Treatment Process

Step 1 - Examination and Treatment Planning

The dentist assesses the tooth condition and determines whether a crown is required.

Step 2 - Tooth Preparation

The tooth is reshaped to create space for the crown. This step ensures proper fit and alignment.

Step 3 - Impression and Temporary Crown

An impression is taken to fabricate the custom crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth.

Step 4 - Crown Placement

The final crown is fitted and adjusted to ensure proper bite and comfort before being permanently secured.
