Dongdaemun SeoulOneTop Dental Clinic provides dental crowns on the 5th floor of 1050 Jegi-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, a 2-minute walk from Jegi-dong Station Exit 2 on Subway Line 1. Crowns are recommended for teeth that are weakened, cracked, heavily restored or treated with a root canal.
Your dentist checks the remaining tooth structure, gums and bite, then explains porcelain, zirconia and metal-based options in English before treatment begins. Existing crowns that are worn, loose or decayed can also be replaced.
Crown types we offer
The right material depends on the tooth position, how you bite and how natural it needs to look. Your dentist recommends one after the exam.
Porcelain and Ceramic Crowns
Porcelain or ceramic crowns can provide a natural-looking appearance and may be considered for teeth where aesthetics are an important part of treatment planning.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia is a strong ceramic material that may be used for certain dental crowns.
Metal-Based Crowns
Metal-based crowns have traditionally been used for their strength and durability, particularly in areas exposed to significant chewing forces.
Crowns After Root Canal Treatment

-
Tooth Preparation

When do I need a crown instead of a filling?
A crown is usually considered when too little healthy tooth is left to hold a filling, for example after extensive decay, a crack or a large old filling. Your dentist decides after checking the remaining tooth structure.
Which crown material is best?
Porcelain and ceramic crowns look natural, zirconia is a strong ceramic, and metal-based crowns are durable for back teeth with heavy chewing forces. Your dentist recommends a material based on the tooth position, bite and appearance.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Often, yes. A tooth treated with a root canal may need extra protection depending on how much healthy structure remains. Read about root canal treatment.
Can you replace my old crown?
Yes. Crowns that are worn, damaged, loose or affected by new decay can be removed and replaced after an exam.
Do the dentists speak English?
Yes. Consultations and treatment explanations are given in English, with support in Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian and Mongolian.
