Dental Crowns
The most effective option to fully restore or protect a tooth is a full coverage crown. Crowns offer a natural tooth appearance due to the use of highly polished porcelain materials. Porcelain offers enamel-like translucency, which can blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
A crown may be recommended if there is extensive structural damage to the tooth, the tooth has and root canal treatment or as the final restoration for an implant placement procedure.
Dental crowns fully encase a tooth just like a sewing thimble. This restoration is bonded in place after careful and skilled fabrication by our specialist dental technician. Crowns are made from a highly durable and natural-looking porcelain material and are custom-made to careful specifications. Even the colour is matched precisely to ensure a perfect finish.
Preparing a tooth for a crown usually requires two visits; the first step involves examining and preparing the tooth. During this visit, meticulous shaping takes place, often with the use of microscopic dentistry to ensure the best fit can be achieved. At the second visit, the crown will be fitted and carefully examined to ensure the colour is the perfect match and the fit is no less than exact before the final cementation.
Many patients have benefited from the aesthetic and functional properties that dental crowns can provide.
