Restore. Reinforce. Redefine Your Smile.

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, dental crowns are more than just a cap on a tooth they are a precise blend of science and artistry. Whether you’re dealing with a fractured tooth, large cavity, root canal treatment, or cosmetic concerns, our custom-designed crowns restore both the function and beauty of your smile.

What Are Dental Crowns?

 

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fully encases a damaged or weakened tooth, reinforcing its strength and restoring its shape, size, and appearance. Think of it as a protective helmet for your tooth, designed to withstand years of biting, chewing, and smiling.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that fully covers and protects a tooth that is weak, broken, or cosmetically imperfect. It restores the tooth’s original strength, function, and appearance so you can chew, smile, and speak with total confidence.

 

When Do You Need a Crown?

You may benefit from a dental crown if:

• Your tooth is cracked, broken, or severely worn down
• You have a large filling that’s failing
• You’ve had root canal treatment
• You want to improve the appearance of a discolored or misshaped tooth
• You’re restoring a dental implant
• You’re protecting a tooth after trauma or grinding damage

Worried About Pain or Anxiety?

You’re Not Alone and We’re Here for You.

We understand that visiting the dentist can make some patients nervous. Our approach is designed to put you at ease:

• Gentle, experienced hands that put your comfort first
• Pain free numbing techniques
• Soothing ambiance and a caring, patient-first team
• Transparent communication we’ll guide you at every step

 

Fast, Efficient, Hassle-Free Appointments

We Value Your Time.

We use digital impressions, fast lab partnerships, and streamlined planning to reduce the number of visits and time in the chair. Many patients complete their crown treatment same day or in just 2 visits.

For emergencies or urgent care? We’ll do everything we can to fast-track your treatment.

Worried About the Cost?

We Make Exceptional Dentistry Attainable.

We understand that cost is one of the biggest reasons people delay dental treatment but postponing care often leads to more complex and expensive problems later on. At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we believe high-quality dental crowns shouldn’t feel out of reach.

A crown protects your tooth and prevents further damage. That means avoiding root canals, extractions, or more costly treatments later. Think of it not as an expense but as an investment in your health, confidence, and peace of mind.

 

Considerations Before Getting a Dental Crown

What You Need to Know, and How We Make It Easy

We understand that getting a dental crown can feel like a big decision especially if it’s your first time. That’s why we take time to walk you through every detail before we begin, ensuring that you feel informed, confident, and completely in control of your treatment.

Here are some important considerations to keep in mind:

1. Tooth Condition

We’ll begin with a thorough examination and digital X-rays to check if your tooth is strong enough to support a crown. If there’s a deep cavity, fracture, or past root canal treatment, we’ll explain what kind of crown or prep work is best for your case.

2. Bite & Occlusion

Every crown affects how your teeth come together. We assess your bite and jaw (TMJ) to make sure your new crown fits in harmoniously preventing future issues like jaw strain, uneven wear, or cracked restorations.

3. Material Choice

Based on the location of your tooth, your bite force, aesthetic goals, and any allergies or sensitivities, we’ll help you choose the most suitable material Emax, zirconia, hybrid ceramic, full ceramic, or PFZ.

4. Budget Planning

We provide full cost transparency upfront, along with flexible payment options, 0% installment plans, and support with insurance reimbursement. You’ll never feel rushed or surprised.

5. Time Commitment

Most crowns take 2 visits, while some can be done same day. If you have an urgent need, travel plans, or a tight schedule, we’ll tailor your appointments accordingly.

6. Smile Design Goals

If the crown is in the front, we’ll discuss your ideal shape, shade, and size. We may even show you simulations or photos from previous patients to help you visualize your new smile.

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“The best dental work starts before we even touch a tooth. We ask the right questions, listen carefully, and create a plan that fits your life. Every detail we consider up front helps us deliver a crown that looks great, feels right, and lasts for years.”

Types of Dental Crowns We Offer

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we offer only premium crowns, crafted from materials trusted by dentists and loved by patients around the world:

Emax Crowns Beauty Meets Strength

Emax crowns are crafted from lithium disilicate ceramic a material known for its high strength, durability, and remarkable translucency. What does that mean for you? A crown that mimics the natural light-reflecting properties of enamel, making it nearly indistinguishable from your real teeth.

Whether you’re restoring a chipped front tooth or transforming your smile cosmetically, Emax is our go-to choice for natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Ideal for:

• Front teeth and visible areas
• Smile makeovers
• Patients seeking aesthetics without compromising strength

Why patients love it:

• Blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth
• Resistant to staining and chipping
• Metal-free and biocompatible

Dr. Salah’s Note:

“Emax crowns are my personal favorite when it comes to smile transformations. Their translucency, strength, and lifelike beauty make them the ideal choice for front teeth. When patients see the final result a crown that looks just like their natural tooth the reaction is often emotional. It’s not just a restoration. It’s a return to confidence.”

 

Zirconia Crowns Engineered for Endurance

Zirconia crowns are made from high-strength zirconium oxide, one of the most durable materials in modern dentistry. Designed to withstand heavy biting forces, they’re the crown of choice for back teeth, patients with bruxism (grinding or clenching), or those needing full-mouth restorations.

Despite their incredible strength, today’s zirconia crowns are also remarkably aesthetic offering a natural appearance, especially when layered with porcelain.

Ideal for:

• Molars and premolars
• Patients who grind or clench their teeth
• Full-arch crown and bridge cases

Why patients choose zirconia:

• Incredibly strong and fracture-resistant
• Metal-free and safe for sensitive individuals
• Precise fit with long-term stability

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“When a patient says, ‘I want something that lasts,’ zirconia is often the answer. It’s one of the most advanced materials we use durable, biocompatible, and digitally milled for a precision fit. It gives patients peace of mind that their crown can keep up with their lifestyle.”

 

Porcelain-Fused-to-Zirconia (PFZ): The Best of Both Worlds

PFZ crowns combine a zirconia core (for strength) with a hand-layered porcelain exterior (for beauty). This makes them a popular choice for patients who need both functional durability and cosmetic appeal especially for areas that endure pressure but are still visible when smiling.

It’s a versatile crown type used in many of our smile rehabilitations and full-arch cases.

Ideal for:

• Anterior and posterior teeth
• Bridgework involving multiple teeth
• Balanced function and aesthetics

Why patients prefer PFZ:

• Combines strength and natural appearance
• Excellent for both front and back teeth
• Highly customizable for shade and shape

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“PFZ crowns are our hybrid heroes they offer the strength our restorative cases need, with the polish our cosmetic cases demand. They’re a beautiful middle ground, and we often recommend them when a patient needs both resilience and radiance.”

 

Full Ceramic (Metal-Free) Crowns: Pure, Precise, and Beautiful

For patients who prioritise biocompatibility, aesthetics, and metal-free dentistry, full ceramic crowns offer a modern, health-conscious solution. These crowns are made entirely of advanced ceramics with no metal core which means they’re non-reactive, gentle on the gums, and ideal for patients with metal allergies or sensitivities.

Thanks to their high translucency and natural shading, they’re an excellent choice for smile zones and cosmetic cases.

Ideal for:

• Patients with metal allergies or autoimmune conditions
• Front teeth and cosmetic reconstructions
• Gums prone to inflammation or discoloration near metal

Why patients appreciate them:

• 100% metal-free and biocompatible
• Superior aesthetics with natural translucency
• No grey lines at the gum margin over time

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“There’s something special about full ceramic crowns not just in how they look, but how they feel in the mouth. For our patients who value purity, health, and natural aesthetics, these crowns offer peace of mind and a smile they can trust. It’s like giving the tooth a second chance without compromise.”

Endo Crowns: Smart Restoration After Root Canal Treatment

Endo crowns are specially designed for teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, especially molars with extensive loss of tooth structure. Unlike traditional crowns that require additional support like a post or core buildup, endo crowns use the remaining healthy tooth and internal walls for retention.

They are minimally invasive, cost-effective, and preserve more natural tooth structure.

Ideal for:

• Root canal treated molars and premolars
• Severely broken down back teeth
• Patients looking for a conservative, one-piece restoration

Why patients choose endo crowns:

• Less invasive than post and core crowns
• Strong monolithic design often milled from zirconia or Emax
• Reduced risk of tooth fracture
• One-visit or same-day options available with digital dentistry

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“Endo crowns are a game-changer, especially for molars treated with root canal. Instead of drilling deeper and compromising the tooth further, we use the natural architecture that’s left. It’s a smart, functional solution that helps preserve what matters most your own tooth.”

 

 

¾ Crowns (Onlays): Preserve More, Protect Wisely

Sometimes, a full crown isn’t necessary. That’s where a ¾ crown also called an onlay comes in. These partial crowns cover only the damaged portion of the tooth, leaving healthy structure untouched. It’s a minimally invasive option for patients who want to protect their teeth while preserving as much natural enamel as possible.

Crafted with the same precision and materials as full crowns, ¾ crowns offer both strength and aesthetics, with a more conservative approach.

Ideal for:

• Moderate cracks or decay
• Replacement of large old fillings
• Patients who grind their teeth
• Back teeth needing coverage without full reduction

Why patients love ¾ crowns:

• Preserves more natural tooth structure
• Stronger and more protective than fillings
• Seamless blend with surrounding enamel
• Often completed in fewer visits

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“Every tooth tells a different story and not every story needs a full crown. ¾ crowns allow us to save what’s still healthy while reinforcing the weak spots. It’s a modern, elegant solution that blends conservation with durability. When we can do more by doing less that’s great dentistry.”

 

Hybrid Ceramic Crowns: Flexibility Meets Function

Hybrid ceramic crowns are made from a blend of ceramic and polymer (resin) materials, designed to offer shock absorption, gentle contact with opposing teeth, and natural esthetics. They’re lighter and slightly more flexible than traditional all-ceramic options, making them ideal for patients with bite issues, grinding habits, or sensitive teeth.

These crowns are often milled digitally, allowing for same-day or next day delivery in some cases a great solution for busy professionals or time-conscious patients.

Ideal for:

• Patients with clenching/grinding habits
• Those needing crowns on implants or opposing natural teeth
• Patients with bite sensitivity or TMJ concerns
• Shorter appointment timelines (in certain cases)

Why patients appreciate hybrid ceramic crowns:

• Gentle on natural teeth and gums
• Highly aesthetic with natural color-matching
• Durable and fracture-resistant with a flexible core
• Lightweight and digitally designed for high accuracy

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“Hybrid ceramic crowns are a fantastic option for patients with more complex bite dynamics or those who’ve experienced issues with rigid materials. They offer a unique blend of softness and strengt and in the right cases, they truly enhance long-term comfort and function. It’s a crown that adapts to you, not the other way around.”

 

Dental Implant Crowns: The Final Touch to Your New Tooth

Once your dental implant has integrated with the jawbone, the final step is placing a custom-made implant crown the visible part that completes your smile. At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we craft implant crowns with the same attention to detail and aesthetics as natural tooth restorations, ensuring they look, feel, and function just like a real tooth.

Every implant crown is precision-designed using digital scans and high-strength materials to fit seamlessly with your bite and match your natural teeth in shape, shade, and translucency.

Ideal for:

• Patients who have completed the implant surgery phase
• Replacing a single missing tooth
• Completing implant-supported bridges or full-arch prosthetics

Types of Implant Crowns We Offer:

• Screw-Retained Implant Crowns: Easy to maintain and remove for hygiene or repairs
• Cement-Retained Implant Crowns: Great for esthetics and a natural look, especially in the front
• Zirconia or Emax Implant Crowns: Strong, aesthetic, and metal-free options

Why our patients trust us for implant crowns:

• Exact shade matching and digital contouring
• Customized occlusion and TMJ planning
• Ideal emergence profile for gum health and appearance
• Durable, long-lasting materials that integrate beautifully with your smile

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“An implant crown is more than just the last step of your treatment it’s your smile’s return to normal. We make sure it not only looks beautiful, but also feels like your own tooth from the very first bite. Our goal? You should forget which tooth was ever missing.”

 

Biomimetic Crowns: Inspired by Nature, Designed to Last

Biomimetic dentistry is about mimicking the natural structure and behavior of real teeth and biomimetic crowns are the perfect example. These crowns are carefully designed to replicate the natural layers of a tooth, including its flex, strength, and appearance.

Instead of simply capping a tooth, a biomimetic crown bonds seamlessly to the remaining healthy tooth structure, reinforcing it while preserving as much of your natural enamel and dentin as possible.

Ideal for:

• Patients who want a conservative, minimally invasive approach
• Cracked or damaged teeth needing long-term strength and resilience
• Patients concerned about tooth preservation and longevity

Why patients love biomimetic crowns:

• Preserve more natural tooth structure
• Strong, flexible, and long lasting
• Bond like real tooth tissue for added durability
• Look and behave like natural teeth not just in color, but in performance

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“In biomimetic dentistry, our mission is simple preserve what’s still healthy and replace only what’s damaged. A biomimetic crown respects the tooth’s natural architecture and works with it, not against it. It’s high-tech dentistry with a soft touch protective, precise, and long-lasting.”

 

Temporary Crowns: Your Smile, Protected During Treatment

A temporary crown is a short-term solution placed over your prepared tooth while your final crown is being custom-made in the lab. But at Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we don’t treat it as an afterthought your temporary crown is carefully crafted to be comfortable, functional, and natural looking, so you can continue smiling with confidence.

Whether your final crown is Emax, zirconia, or ceramic, your temporary acts as a protective cover, preventing sensitivity, maintaining your bite, and holding space for the gums to heal naturally.

Ideal for:

• Waiting for your permanent crown
• Protecting root canal-treated teeth
• Maintaining esthetics and speech in the meantime
• Helping gums contour naturally around the future crown

Why our patients appreciate our temporary crowns:

• Designed to match your natural teeth as closely as possible
• Smooth, polished, and easy to clean
• Custom fit for comfort and stability
• Helps ensure your final crown fits perfectly

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“We believe that every stage of your treatment deserves care including the temporary crown. It’s not just a placeholder; it’s part of your experience. We take the time to shape it well, so you leave with something that feels good and looks great even if it’s just for a few days.”

 

 

Crown & Bridge : A Trusted Solution for Missing Teeth

When one or more teeth are missing, and implants aren’t an option either for personal, medical, or financial reasons a dental bridge supported by crowns offers a reliable, aesthetic, and functional alternative.

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we design custom bridges anchored on strong, natural-looking crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap. Each bridge is precision-milled, shade-matched, and sculpted to restore your bite, your smile, and your confidence.

How It Works:
A bridge typically consists of:

• Two crowns on either side of the missing tooth/teeth
• One or more false teeth (pontics) held in place between them
• All made as a single, seamless unit

Ideal for:

• Patients missing 1 – 3 adjacent teeth
• Those not ready for or unable to receive implants
• Restoring chewing ability and facial balance

Why patients choose crowns & bridges:

• No surgery or implant required
• Restores your ability to chew, speak, and smile naturally
• Prevents teeth from shifting into empty spaces
• Beautiful, lifelike appearance with long-lasting strength

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“A well-designed bridge doesn’t just fill a gap it restores harmony to your smile and your bite. For many patients, this is a life-changing solution when implants aren’t the right fit. Our job is to make it feel like the tooth was never missing to begin with.”

Maryland Bridge A Gentle, Metal Free Way to Replace a Tooth

A Maryland Bridge is a conservative option for replacing a missing front tooth without altering the adjacent teeth significantly. Instead of using full crowns for support, this bridge is bonded to the back of neighboring teeth using thin wings typically made from ceramic, composite, or metal.

It’s a great solution for younger patients, those with healthy adjacent teeth, or anyone looking for a non-surgical, fast, and aesthetic way to fill a single tooth gap.

Ideal for:

• Replacing a single front tooth
• Patients seeking non invasive alternatives to implants
• Young adults or teens not yet ready for implant surgery
• Budget-conscious patients wanting a fixed restoration

Why patients love Maryland bridges:

• Minimally invasive : no significant reshaping of neighboring teeth
• Quick to place and typically requires only 1 – 2 visits
• Looks natural and preserves tooth structure
• More affordable than implants or full bridges

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“Maryland bridges are a great example of doing more with less. For patients who want a simple, elegant way to replace a front tooth without surgery, this technique gives them their smile back quickly, painlessly, and beautifully.”

 

Bonded Bridge A Conservative, Fixed Tooth Replacement

A bonded bridge, sometimes referred to as an adhesive bridge, is a minimally invasive solution to replace a missing tooth typically in the front or premolar region. Instead of covering the entire neighboring teeth with crowns, this bridge uses strong adhesive wings that bond to the back of adjacent natural teeth, preserving their structure.

This is a great option for patients looking for a fixed solution without the need for surgery, implants, or aggressive tooth preparation.

Ideal for:

• Patients missing a single front or side tooth
• Younger patients not eligible for implants yet
• Cases with strong, healthy adjacent teeth
• Patients who want a fixed alternative to removable dentures

Why patients choose bonded bridges:

• Preserves natural tooth structure no crowns needed
• Non-invasive and reversible in some cases
• Faster and more affordable than implant-based options
• Feels and looks natural

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“Bonded bridges are one of the most elegant solutions in dentistry simple, effective, and kind to the surrounding teeth. They work wonderfully in the right cases, especially for younger patients or those who want to avoid surgery. We take care to make sure it blends in so well, even you might forget which tooth was missing.”

Inlays & Onlays: A Conservative Alternative to Full Crowns

Sometimes, a full crown isn’t necessary. When a tooth is damaged or decayed but still has enough healthy structure left, we may recommend an inlay or onlay (also called an overlay) instead.

These restorations are custom-made pieces that fit precisely into or onto your tooth like puzzle pieces to rebuild and protect the area that’s weakened without covering the entire tooth.

Think of them as the middle ground between a large filling and a full crown: more conservative, more supportive, and more durable.

 

Inlays

Fit within the grooves of your tooth (like a filling, but stronger)
Ideal for small to moderate decay or old filling replacements

Onlays / Overlays

Cover one or more cusps or biting edges of the tooth
Ideal when part of the tooth structure (like corners or tips) is damaged

 

Why Patients Love Inlays & Onlays:

• Preserve more of your natural tooth
• Designed digitally for perfect fit and comfort
• Stronger and longer-lasting than traditional fillings
• Look and feel like your natural tooth
• Made from premium ceramics, Emax, or hybrid materials

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“Inlays and onlays are beautiful examples of conservative dentistry done right. When we can save more of your natural tooth while still protecting it that’s a win. These restorations are strong, precise, and preserve the integrity of your smile.”

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we don’t believe in one size fits all solutions. We combine cutting-edge technology with expert hands to deliver dental crowns that are tailored, precise, and naturally beautiful because your smile deserves nothing less.

Here’s how our advanced tools redefine the crown experience:

• Digital Impressions with 3Shape Scanner

• 3Shape Design Software
  This powerful CAD software allows our dental designers to custom-create your crown based on your exact anatomy, bite dynamics, and aesthetic preferences. It’s digital artistry, guided by dental science.
• Microscope & Dental Loupes
  We use high-magnification optics during preparation and bonding to ensure perfect margins and precision fit, reducing the risk of gaps, decay, and long-term sensitivity.
• Digital Shade Matching
  With advanced shade-mapping tools and spectrophotometers, we capture the exact color tone of your teeth to design a crown that blends seamlessly into your smile.
• In-House Milling Machines
  Our dental milling units carve your crown from high-strength ceramic or zirconia blocks with unmatched accuracy. This ensures faster turnaround times and minimizes errors from outsourcing.
• 3D Printing Technology
  We use advanced 3D printers to prototype models, fabricate temporaries, or even guide complex procedures making your treatment faster, cleaner, and more predictable.
• Rubber Dam Isolation

• Premium Materials from Trusted Brands
  We partner with industry leaders like Ivoclar Vivadent, 3M, GC, Kuraray Noritake, and Dentsply Sirona to ensure each crown is crafted from safe, durable, and esthetically superior materials.

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“Digital dentistry isn’t the future it’s our present. With technologies like 3Shape, in-house milling, and 3D printing, we’re not just saving time we’re elevating quality. Every detail matters. That’s how we deliver crowns that don’t just fix a tooth they complete your smile.”

 

Why Margins Matter The Invisible Detail That Changes Everything

In dentistry, it’s often the things you can’t see that make the biggest difference. The margin the junction where your crown meets your natural tooth may be tiny, but it plays a huge role in the health, comfort, and longevity of your restoration.

A poorly designed or placed crown can leave a visible gap, rough edge, or open margin where food and bacteria accumulate leading to:

• Gum irritation and inflammation
• Decay underneath the crown
• Chronic bad breath
• A crown that feels bulky or misaligned
• Shortened lifespan of the restoration

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we take margins seriously. Using microscopes, high-magnification loupes, and rubber dam isolation, we ensure your margins are:

• Precise : for a snug, exact fit
• Smooth and sealed : to protect against bacteria
• Tissue-friendly : for healthy, pink, beautiful gums

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“Margins are the foundation of a successful crown. Even the most beautiful crown will fail if it isn’t sealed properly. That’s why we work under high magnification, using advanced isolation and bonding techniques because we’re not just restoring a tooth, we’re protecting your future dental health.”

Crown Trial: Because You Deserve to Approve Your Smile

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we believe your crown shouldn’t just fit it should feel right, look natural, and make you smile with confidence. That’s why we always include a crown trial stage before final cementation.

This step allows you (and us) to test, assess, and refine the crown before it becomes permanent. It’s your opportunity to preview the result and ensure everything is perfect from the bite and comfort, to the shade, shape, and alignment.

What We Check During the Crown Trial:

• Fit : Does the crown sit perfectly without pressure or gaps?
• Bite : Does it feel natural when you chew or close your mouth?
• Shade : Does the color blend well with your natural teeth?
• Shape : Is the contour flattering to your smile?
• Gum response : Are the tissues healthy around the crown?

If something’s not perfect we adjust it or send it back for refinement. Your satisfaction is never rushed.

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“The crown trial is where science meets your personal preferences. It’s not just about getting the bite right it’s about how you feel when you look in the mirror. This step gives you control, and gives us the feedback to deliver a result you’re truly happy with.”

 

Crown Cementation: The Final, Crucial Step

Once you’ve approved the look and feel of your new crown during the trial stage, it’s time for final cementation where your crown is permanently bonded to your tooth. At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we approach this step with meticulous care because how we bond your crown directly impacts its longevity, comfort, and performance.

 

 

What Happens During Crown Cementation:

1. Isolation
   We use rubber dam isolation or cotton rolls to keep the area dry and clean free from saliva and moisture that could interfere with the bond.
2. Tooth Preparation
   We gently clean the underlying tooth, apply an adhesive, and condition the surface to enhance bond strength.
3. Cement Application
   A layer of biocompatible dental cement is applied inside the crown. We select the cement type (resin, glass ionomer, or self-adhesive) based on the material and tooth condition.
4. Precise Placement
   The crown is carefully positioned and gently seated using controlled pressure to ensure an exact fit no rocking, no gaps.
5. Excess Removal and Light Curing
   We remove any excess cement and use a curing light (if needed) to set the material, ensuring a strong and durable bond.
6. Final Bite Adjustment & Polish
   We check your bite, make fine-tune adjustments if needed, and polish the margins for a smooth, natural finish.

What You’ll Feel:

• The procedure is completely painless
• You may feel light pressure when the crown is seated
• We ensure the final bite feels natural before you leave

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“Cementation is where everything comes together art, science, and care. It’s not just about gluing a crown on; it’s about ensuring that every margin is sealed, every surface polished, and every bite balanced. We take our time, so you leave with a result that lasts.”

 

Caring for Your New Crown

Protect Your Investment. Preserve Your Smile.

A dental crown is built to last but just like a natural tooth, it needs the right care to stay strong, healthy, and beautiful for years to come. At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we’ll guide you on how to care for your new crown from day one.

Simple Habits for Long-Lasting Results:

Brush and Floss Daily
Keep the area around your crown clean by brushing gently twice a day and flossing to remove food and plaque. Don’t skip the area where the crown meets your gums this is key to preventing inflammation and decay.

Avoid Chewing on Ice or Hard Objects
While your crown is durable, habits like biting on pens, fingernails, or ice can cause micro-fractures over time. Treat it with care, just like your natural teeth.

Stay Consistent with Hygiene Visits
Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings allow us to monitor the health of the crown, surrounding teeth, and gums and catch any issues early.

Wear a Nightguard (If You Grind Your Teeth)
If you clench or grind at night, a custom nightguard will protect your crown (and other teeth) from excess pressure and wear.

Watch for Changes
If your crown feels loose, your bite changes, or you experience any discomfort let us know immediately. Early attention helps prevent complications.

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“A crown is a beautiful restoration, but it’s also a partnership. When you care for it daily and see us regularly, it can serve you well for a decade or more. We’re here to help you protect that investment every step of the way.”

 

What If My Crown Fails?

Don’t Worry We’re Here to Make It Right.

A dental crown should feel secure, look natural, and function like a real tooth. If yours feels loose, chipped, too high, or simply doesn’t feel right, you’re not alone and we’re here to help.

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we routinely see patients who’ve had crowns done elsewhere and weren’t satisfied with the outcome. Whether it’s a cosmetic concern or a functional issue, we take the time to understand what went wrong and how to make it right.

Common Signs of Crown Failure:

• Looseness or movement while chewing
• Discomfort when biting down
• Gum irritation or inflammation around the crown
• Dark lines near the gum (especially in old metal-based crowns)
• Poor color match or unnatural appearance
• Bad breath or food trapping

Our Solution Oriented Approach:

• Full Diagnostic Work Up
  We start with a digital exam, X-rays, bite analysis, and gum health assessment.
• Occlusion & TMJ Check
  Sometimes the issue isn’t the crown it’s how the teeth come together. We look at the full picture.
• Material & Margin Assessment
  We examine the crown’s edge, fit, and material to ensure it’s sealed, hygienic, and biocompatible.
• Replacement with Premium Materials
  If replacement is needed, we use state-of-the-art techniques and aesthetics to give you a crown that looks and feels like your natural tooth.

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“We never judge a patient for coming to us with a failed crown. Our job is to find solutions to help you smile, eat, and live comfortably again. With the right plan, most crown problems can be corrected beautifully.”

How We Select Our Dental Lab Partners

Because the Details Behind the Scenes Matter

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we don’t leave your smile to chance and that includes where and how your crowns are made. Choosing the right dental lab is just as important as the materials we use or the hands that prepare your tooth.

That’s why we partner only with world-class dental laboratories that meet the highest standards of craftsmanship, reliability, and aesthetic excellence.

What We Look For in a Dental Lab Partner:

Precision & Digital Compatibility
We work exclusively with labs that use advanced CAD/CAM systems, accept 3Shape digital scans, and produce restorations that are accurate to the micron minimizing adjustments and repeat visits.

Artistry & Natural Aesthetics
Our lab technicians are true artisans who understand shade layering, translucency, and facial harmony. They hand-finish each crown to blend perfectly with your natural teeth.

Quality Assurance
Every lab we work with is certified, regulated, and committed to using authentic branded materials (like Emax, Zirconia, or Noritake ceramics) with batch-traceable quality checks in place.

Reliable Turnaround Times
We maintain relationships with trusted UAE-based and international labs that consistently deliver on time because your smile shouldn’t have to wait.

Direct Collaboration
Our doctors regularly communicate with lab technicians sharing photos, bite registrations, and even video consultations to ensure the result matches both your anatomy and your vision.

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“We’ve spent years building strong relationships with labs we trust not based on price, but on outcomes. Every crown we place reflects that trust. It’s a team effort between the clinic, the lab, and most importantly you.”

 

Infection Control & Safety

Your Health. Our Highest Priority.

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, your safety is not just a protocol it’s a promise. From the moment you enter our clinic to the moment your crown is placed, we follow strict, international-standard infection control protocols to ensure a clean, sterile, and safe environment for every patient, every time.

Whether you’re receiving a crown, root canal, or any dental procedure, we treat every step with hospital grade hygiene practices.

Our Infection Control Standards Include:

Sterilization of All Instruments
Every dental tool undergoes a multi-step sterilization process using autoclaves, ultrasonic cleaners, and sealed pouches. Instruments are opened fresh in front of you.

Single-Use Items for Your Protection
Wherever possible, we use disposable items including gloves, suction tips, impression trays, and protective covers to eliminate any risk of cross-contamination.

Disinfection of Treatment Rooms
Chairs, lights, countertops, and all surfaces are disinfected between every patient, using high-grade medical disinfectants.

Barrier Protocols & PPE
Our team wears appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including masks, face shields, and gowns and patients are provided protective eyewear during procedures.

Rubber Dam Isolation
During crown procedures, we often use rubber dams to isolate the tooth creating a clean, dry field that also helps prevent contamination.

Clean Air Circulation & Ventilation
Our clinic uses air purification and proper ventilation systems to ensure a fresh, sterile environment throughout the day.

Compliance with Global Standards
We follow guidelines set by Dubai Health Authority (DHA), CDC, and World Health Organization (WHO) for infection control and patient safety.

Dr. Salah’s Note:
“Cleanliness isn’t a detail it’s the foundation. Patients trust us with their health, and we honor that trust with unwavering attention to sterilization, hygiene, and safety at every step.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does getting a crown hurt?
A: Not at all. We use local anesthesia and a gentle approach. You’ll be comfortable throughout.

Q: How long do dental crowns last?
A: With proper care, crowns can last 10–15 years or more. Many last even longer if maintained well.

Q: Can I eat normally with a crown?
A: Yes. Once bonded, your crown functions like a natural tooth strong, stable, and comfortable.

Q: Is it safe to do multiple crowns at once?
A: Absolutely. In fact, restoring multiple teeth together can improve bite harmony and save you time overall.

Q: Can I replace old crowns for cosmetic reasons?
A: Yes. We often replace outdated or unattractive crowns with modern options that blend beautifully with your smile.

Q: Will my crown look obvious or fake?
A: No. With digital shade matching and high-quality materials, your crown will be virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Q: What if my gums bleed around the crown?
A: This could be due to poor fit or hygiene issues. We’ll assess the margins and surrounding gum health to resolve it.

Q: How soon can I get a crown after root canal treatment?
A: Usually within 1–2 weeks, but in some cases, a same-day crown can be placed if the tooth is stable.

Q: What is the difference between a crown and a filling?
A: A filling repairs part of a tooth; a crown covers and protects the entire tooth when it’s too damaged to hold a filling.

Q: Will my insurance cover the crown?
A: Most insurance plans offer partial reimbursement. We assist with claims and documentation to help maximize your benefits.

Q: Can I get a crown if I grind my teeth?
A: Yes, but we may recommend zirconia or hybrid ceramic materials, and a custom nightguard for protection.

Q: Do I need a temporary crown?
A: If you’re not getting a same-day crown, yes the temporary protects your tooth and keeps your gums in proper shape while the final crown is made.

Q: Can I finance my crown treatment?
A: Definitely. We offer 0% installment plans, Tabby, Tamara, and several payment options to make it easy and affordable.
