Dental Crown & Bridge
Looking for quality dental crowns and bridges in Kota Kinabalu? Dr. Pavendeep Singh offers expert crown and bridge treatments using premium materials including PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) and Zirconia options. Restore your smile with durable, natural-looking restorations.
What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their shape, size, strength, and appearance. A dental bridge, on the other hand, replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap.
At our Kota Kinabalu clinic, we use the latest dental technology to create crowns and bridges that look and feel like your natural teeth.
Types of Dental Crowns Available
We offer several types of dental crowns to suit different needs and budgets:
PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) Crowns
These crowns combine the strength of metal with the natural appearance of porcelain. They are an excellent choice for back teeth where durability is essential.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia crowns are made from a strong, tooth-coloured ceramic material. They offer exceptional durability and a natural appearance, making them ideal for both front and back teeth.
Full Ceramic Crowns
These crowns provide the most natural appearance and are perfect for front teeth where aesthetics are a priority.
When Do You Need a Crown or Bridge?
You may need a dental crown if you have:
- A cracked or broken tooth
- A large filling that needs replacement
- A tooth weakened by root canal treatment
- Severely discoloured teeth
- A dental implant that needs covering
A dental bridge may be recommended if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Want a fixed (non-removable) solution
- Have healthy teeth on either side of the gap
The Crown and Bridge Process
Getting a crown or bridge typically requires two visits to our clinic. During the first visit, we prepare the tooth and take impressions. A temporary crown protects your tooth while our dental laboratory creates your permanent restoration.
At your second appointment, we fit and cement your new crown or bridge, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable bite.

Find answers to common questions about this treatment.
How long does a dental crown last?
With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10-15 years. Some patients have crowns that last 20+ years. The longevity depends on your oral hygiene, eating habits, and whether you grind your teeth.
Is getting a crown painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you won't feel pain during treatment. Some patients experience mild sensitivity for a few days after, which is normal and temporary.
What is the difference between PFM and Zirconia crowns?
PFM crowns have a metal base with porcelain overlay, making them very strong but with a visible metal line at the gum. Zirconia crowns are all-ceramic, offering excellent strength with a more natural appearance and no metal.
How much do dental crowns cost in Kota Kinabalu?
Crown prices vary based on the material chosen. PFM crowns start from RM800, while Zirconia crowns range from RM1,200-2,500. We offer payment plans to make treatment affordable.
Can I eat normally with a dental crown?
Yes! Once your crown is permanently cemented, you can eat normally. We recommend avoiding extremely hard foods like ice or hard candy that could potentially damage any tooth, crowned or natural.
