Restore Your Smile With Dr. Brandon Hoe And His Team.
Welcome to gentledentistry in Erindale! Our skilled team are dedicated to providing exceptional dental care with a focus on your comfort and satisfaction. One of our essential restorative services is dental crowns – a versatile solution to restore the strength, function, and appearance of damaged or weakened teeth.
What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. They are used to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a tooth that has been damaged or weakened. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, and composite resin, depending on the specific needs of each patient.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Protection: Crowns provide a strong, protective covering for damaged or weakened teeth, preventing further decay or injury.
- Durability: Made from high-quality materials, crowns are designed to withstand the forces of chewing and biting, offering long-lasting durability.
- Natural Appearance: Crowns are custom-made to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
- Improved Function: Restoring the function of damaged teeth, crowns allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Versatility: Dental crowns can be used to address a variety of dental issues, including broken teeth, severe decay, large fillings, and after root canal treatment.
The Dental Crown Process
- Initial Consultation: Schedule a consultation with Done of our dentists to assess your dental health and determine if a crown is the right solution for you. During this visit, we will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to evaluate the extent of the damage.
- Tooth Preparation: The tooth receiving the crown is reshaped to make room for the restoration. This involves removing a portion of the tooth structure to ensure a proper fit for the crown.
- 3D Scans: Detailed scans of your teeth are taken to create a custom-made crown that fits perfectly. These scans are sent to a dental lab where your crown is fabricated.
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth to protect it while your permanent crown is being made. This ensures that your tooth remains functional and comfortable.
- Crown Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, we will remove the temporary crown and check the fit and colour of the new crown. After making any necessary adjustments, the crown is securely bonded to your tooth.
- Final Adjustments: We will ensure that your bite is properly aligned and that the crown fits comfortably. Any final adjustments are made to ensure optimal function and aesthetics.
- Aftercare and Follow-Up: You will receive detailed aftercare instructions to maintain the health and longevity of your dental crown. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your oral health and ensure the crown remains in good condition.
