What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are fixtures that cover the outer surface of the damaged teeth or implant and give it a natural and improved look. Traditionally, they were made of gold, or porcelain fused to metal; however, today, they are made of porcelain, or zirconia. They are made to match the colour and shape of your existing teeth to give them a natural appearance.
You can use them to protect the tooth, strengthen it, or restore a weakened one after a root canal treatment. They help protect damaged teeth, or teeth who have undergone complex procedures. Dental crowns are the best option to aid in the longevity of the tooth.
HOW ARE DENTAL CROWNS PLACED?
- Your damaged tooth is shaped and prepared conservatively to enable a strong crown restoration and seamless fit.
- We then take a 3D scan of the preparation and surrounding teeth to design a custom fitted restoration to your bite. Each crown is shade matched to your surrounding teeth to blend in seamlessly.
- The crown will then be designed and manufactured at our in-house laboratory, which takes between 45 minutes and an hour. This procedure is typically completed in a single visit. You are welcome to sit in our waiting lounge and enjoy a coffee while you watch some TV or enjoy some shopping at the local shopping mall.
- Once your custom crown is designed, colour matched and milled. Our dentist will then cement the crown into place. Ensuring to check that it’s fit, and function is preforming to requirements.
