Dental Crowns
Replace damaged, stained or weakened teeth after root canal treatment with an affordable dental crown from $690. Orange, Blue, Merdeka and Pioneer CHAS subsidies available for root canal treated crowns.
Metal Dental Crown
Made entirely of metal (e.g. stainless steel), these crowns are extremely durable and ideal for back teeth.
While they are strong, these crowns are not tooth-coloured. They are usually placed where they are less visible.
Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) Crown
These crowns have a metal base covered with tooth-coloured porcelain. They offer a balance of strength and aesthetics, but the metal may show slightly over time near the gumline.
Zirconia Crown
Zirconia is a white ceramic that’s very strong and biocompatible.
These crowns are highly durable and more aesthetic than metal or PFM, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.
E-Max Dental Crown
Made from lithium disilicate ceramic, E.max crowns are highly aesthetic and natural-looking.
Best for front teeth or areas where appearance matters most. Slightly less strong than zirconia but superior in translucency.

What Most Patients Say About Dental Crowns
Protects Weak or Damaged Teeth
Dental crowns cover and strengthen teeth that are cracked, worn down, or have large fillings. This prevents them from further damage or breakage.
Long-Lasting Solution
With good care, crowns can last 10–15 years or longer. They are more durable than large fillings or bonding.
Restores Complete Biting and Chewing Function
Dental crowns enables you to chew and bite properly again. This is especially so for your molar teeth that handle strong biting forces.
Protects Dental Implants and Root Canal Treated Teeth
Crowns are often used to complete implant treatments or protect teeth after root canal therapy.
Completely Natural
Crowns are designed to match your real teeth in colour, shape, and size. This makes them look just like your own teeth when you smile.
Improve Smile Aesthetics
Crowns can reshape or brighten discoloured, chipped, or misshapen teeth for a more confident smile.
Dental Crowns Patient Journey at toofus™ Dental
X-rays (OPG)
When you first enter toofus™ Dental for a dental crown consultation, you will be led to take an X-ray (OPG).
The OPG X-ray helps us determine what other underlying dental conditions you have so that we can better advise you on your oral health and treatment plan.
This also acts as a documentation of your oral health.
toofus™ does not charge for all X-rays (OPG) done at our dental clinic as we believe that X-ray diagnostics help our dentists treat you better.
Consultation and Assessment
During the consultation and assessment, your dentist will begin taking a thorough look in your mouth and at your teeth.
3D Intraoral Impressions are Taken
Dental impressions are then taken.
These dental impressions help the dental lab establish the bite and position of your teeth, as well as teeth you would like to restore.
At toofus™ Dental, we use a 3D intraoral scanner to take digital impressions of your teeth and send them directly to a lab.
Your dentist will also take a colour shade of your teeth so that your final crown matches to the colour of your teeth.
Temporary Crown is Made
A temporary crown is made for you on the same appointment.
The temporary crown is not meant to last and can sometimes fall off.
Dental Crown is Issued
Once your impressions are taken, they are sent via a digital file to the dental lab.
The dental lab then returns the final dental crown to us in 7 to 14 days.
You are then scheduled for your dental crown issue appointment where we will adjust your dental crown to ensure comfort and fit.
Total Treatment Duration for Dental Crowns

The total treatment duration for dental crowns involves a total of 2 visits.

Can I use Medisave for my dental crowns?
It is not possible to use Medisave for your dentures.
Medisave covers surgical procedures like dental implants, block bone grafting, gum surgery, or sinus lifts.

If you are looking to take up dentures treatment, it is possible to subsidise your cost of treatment with CHAS. Some dental insurance providers may also cover dentures.
How much will my dental crowns cost after CHAS subsidy?
Depending on what CHAS card you have, the final cost of your dentures will be dependent on your CHAS card tier.
Green CHAS cards are not eligible for any dental subsidies.
However, Orange, Blue, Merdeka and Pioneer CHAS cards can enjoy CHAS subsidy.
