Make your tooth new again!
Dental Crowns are ideal to completely restore and protect a tooth.
A tooth that is heavily filled, worn down, cracked or had endodontics is at high risk of breakage. A crown is often the best alternative to save and strengthen a tooth.
What does a Dental Crown assessment include?
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. They restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. Crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them a popular solution for various dental issues.
Why Choose Dental Crowns?
- Restoration of Function: Crowns restore the full functionality of a tooth, allowing you to chew and bite normally.
- Enhanced Appearance: Crowns can improve the appearance of a damaged or discolored tooth, giving you a natural-looking smile.
- Durability: Made from high-quality materials, dental crowns are designed to last many years with proper care.
- Protection: Crowns protect a weakened tooth from further damage, preventing potential fractures or decay.
What’s Involved in Getting a Dental Crown?
Initial Consultation and Examination:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We will perform a thorough examination of your tooth and surrounding area. This may include X-rays or other imaging to assess the tooth’s structure and determine if a crown is the best solution.
- Treatment Planning: Based on the examination, we will discuss your treatment options and develop a personalised plan tailored to your needs.
Tooth Preparation:
- Shaping the Tooth: The affected tooth will be prepared by removing any damaged or decayed portions. The tooth will then be shaped to accommodate the crown.
- Impressions/Scanning: More often than not we use our intraoral scanner to scan your tooth and send the files to our dental laboratory, who will make a 3D model of your teeth. Alternatively, we will take precise impressions of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth. These impressions are used to create a custom crown that fits perfectly and matches your natural teeth.
Temporary Crown:
- Protection: While your permanent crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your prepared tooth and maintain function.
Crown Fabrication:
- Custom Creation: The impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where your permanent crown is custom-made from high-quality materials, such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys.
Crown Placement:
- Fitting and Adjustment: Once your permanent crown is ready, we will remove the temporary crown and place the permanent one. We will ensure it fits comfortably and make any necessary adjustments.
- Bonding: The crown is securely bonded to your prepared tooth using a strong dental adhesive.
Follow-Up and Maintenance:
- Check-Ups: We will schedule follow-up visits to ensure your crown is functioning properly and to monitor your overall oral health.
- Care Instructions: We will provide guidance on how to care for your crown and maintain good oral hygiene to ensure its longevity.
Patient Education:
- Oral Hygiene Tips: Learn how to properly clean and care for your crown to keep it in excellent condition.
- Lifestyle Recommendations: Get advice on habits and practices to support the health and durability of your crown.
