Crowns and Veneers Christchurch – Restore Strength and Aesthetics
At 1 Health, we offer high-quality dental crowns and veneers in Christchurch to restore damaged teeth, improve aesthetics, and protect your long-term oral health. Whether you need to strengthen a weakened tooth or transform your smile, our dentists provide expert care with your comfort in mind.
Strengthen, Restore or Refresh Your Smile
Dental crowns and veneers can do more than improve how your teeth look — they also protect and preserve natural teeth that have been compromised. If you’ve had root canal treatment, a large filling, or damage to your enamel, a dental crown may be recommended to protect the tooth structure and extend its life. If you're looking to enhance the appearance of stained, chipped or slightly misaligned teeth, veneers can help create a more uniform, natural-looking smile. At 1 Health, we offer both porcelain and composite veneers, using digital scanning for comfort and precision — no messy impressions required.

Dental Crowns
What Are Crowns?
A crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a tooth to restore its strength and function. Crowns are commonly recommended when a tooth is:
- Weakened from large decay or damage
- Treated with a root canal
- Holding a large or failing filling
Crowns are crafted to match your natural teeth and can last for many years with good care.
Veneers
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin coverings placed on the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. They’re ideal for treating:
- Discolouration or staining
- Minor chips or cracks
- Small gaps or uneven shape
We offer both composite veneers (cost-effective and quick) and porcelain veneers (long-lasting and natural-looking).
Crowns & Veneers FAQs
What is the difference between crowns and veneers?
Crowns fully cover a tooth to restore strength and function, while veneers are thin shells bonded to the front to improve appearance. Crowns are ideal for damaged or heavily filled teeth; veneers work well for enhancing shape, colour, or minor alignment.
How long do crowns and veneers last?
Porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years, while composite ones typically last 5–7 years. Crowns can last 10–15+ years with good care—regular check-ups and hygiene extend their lifespan.
Are crowns or veneers painful?
Both procedures are generally comfortable. We use local anaesthetic when needed, and most clients experience minimal discomfort during or after treatment.
Do crowns or veneers damage my natural teeth?
Crowns require more tooth reduction, while veneers need only a thin enamel layer removed. Both are safe when done professionally, and the benefits typically outweigh any minor alteration to the tooth surface.
Which is more affordable—crowns or veneers?
The cost depends on materials and treatment scope. Composite veneers are often more affordable than porcelain. We’ll discuss pricing options clearly during your consultation. Crowns may be more expensive due to their protective complexity.
Can I get just one crown or veneer?
Yes — both crowns and veneers can be used on a single tooth or multiple teeth, depending on your needs and smile goals.
