Know What to Look for in a Dental Crowns
Clear Indications
At Dental Lounge, crowns are only recommended when truly necessary β such as for large decay, cracked or fractured teeth, or to strengthen a tooth after root canal.
Material Choice, Explained
Our dentists explain the pros and cons of each material (zirconia for superior strength, e.max/all-ceramic for aesthetics, PFM or gold in select cases) and guide you toward the best option for your bite and smile.
Precision Prep & Isolation
Every crown preparation is done under magnification, with strict moisture control, to ensure the most accurate fit and long-term success.
Accurate Margins, Impressions, Shade & Occlusion
The margin is the fine edge where your crown meets your natural tooth. A well-finished margin is essential to seal out bacteria, prevent decay, and extend the crownβs lifespan. At Dental Lounge, our dentists are specially trained to refine this margin under magnification for a precise result. We also ensure accurate digital scans or high-quality impressions and careful shade selection so your crown seals tightly and looks natural. Equally important is occlusion β how your teeth come together when you bite. Every crown at Dental Lounge is carefully adjusted for proper occlusion so it not only looks natural but also functions comfortably in your bite.
Bite, Fit & Temporisation
Your temporary crown is designed to protect your tooth while your permanent one is made. At your fitting, your dentist carefully adjusts the bite and contacts to ensure comfort and protect your teeth. Though temporaryβusually worn for about a weekβitβs made to look and feel natural.
Documentation & Transparency
We provide before-and-after photos, explain each step clearly, and highlight the material used (e.g., zirconiaβs exceptional strength of 900β1200 MPa). This way, you know exactly what youβre getting and why.
Know What to Look For in a Dental Cleaning
A quality dental cleaning should be more than a quick polish. Here's what defines a good treatment:
Comprehensive Oral Examination
Not just a cleaning — your dentist should assess your gums, teeth, and oral hygiene before starting.
Gentle, Thorough Scaling
Plaque and tartar should be removed carefully using both ultrasonic and hand instruments, not rushed or overly aggressive.
Polishing with Purpose
Be cautious if polishing is done only with a rubber cup — that’s typically used for children. Adult stains often require airflow polishing (ProphyJet) for effective stain removal. Ask if this option is available.
Cleaning Done by a Dentist vs. Hygienist
When done by a dentist, you're getting care from someone trained to identify and treat overall oral health issues — not just polish teeth. This includes spotting early decay, bite problems, or gum disease.
Charting & Documentation
Are they recording your gum health, pocket depths, or plaque levels? Proper charting helps track progress and detect issues early.
Before & After Visibility
Can you see the difference? A quality clinic will often show you before-and-after images — especially when using high-magnification or intraoral cameras — so you're not just told, but shown what’s been cleaned.

Why Choose Zirconia Crowns?
Natural teeth have varying levels of strength, measured in megapascals (MPa). For instance, molars have an average strength of 305 MPa, while premolars have a strength of around 248 MPa. Zirconia restorations, on the other hand, exhibit flexural or bending strength values ranging from 900 to 1200 MPa. This exceptional strength makes zirconia crowns virtually unbreakable, providing a reliable and long-lasting replacement option for damaged or weakened teeth.
