Our specialist dentists look after our patients’ daily needs.
If you have broken, damaged or discoloured teeth, this can have a drastic impact on your self-confidence and how you interact with people. If you are looking for a simple solution that can help restore, repair, and strengthen damaged teeth, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing smile, then dental crowns could be the answer. A dental crown is very simply a cap that is custom made for your tooth. Generally made of ceramic, porcelain, or resin, they are made to match the colour of your teeth so that they look completely natural.
Dental crowns are a restorative treatment to save a tooth that is heavily decayed, worn down, chipped, broken or damaged. A dental crown, sometimes referred to as a tooth crown, is a tooth-shaped cap that is used to cover weakened or broken teeth in order to restore their size, shape, strength, and aesthetics. Teeth that have experienced considerable decay or destruction as a result of trauma or accident are frequently covered with crowns as they provide a long-term fix to restore the tooth’s functionality, and dentists frequently suggest them as an alternative to extraction.
Porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these materials may be used to create tooth crowns in most cases. The location of the tooth, the degree of the damage, and the patient’s preferences all play a role in the material selection, because they may be customized to match the natural colour of the tooth, porcelain and ceramic crowns are frequently utilized for front teeth. The strength and longevity of metal crowns, such as those made of gold or silver, make them a popular choice for rear teeth.
Different types of dental crowns are available with varying materials and sizes. Depending on your needs and dental condition, our dental experts will be able to advise which is the most suitable for you:
The most popular dental crown is an all-ceramic crown, as it offers the most natural results. This type of crown looks the most like your natural teeth and offers the best aesthetic appearance.
In addition to restoring the tooth’s natural appearance, tooth crowns also increase the tooth’s strength and functionality and shield it from further harm. With the right maintenance and care, crowns can also be durable and survive for many years. Teeth crowns are a common option for those who wish to keep good dental health and a beautiful smile since they can help patients experience a restored smile and enhanced oral health.
There are many benefits to dental crowns, some of which include:
Dental crowns protect decayed, cracked, and worn-down teeth and can also help prevent further damage.
Getting a tooth crown usually entails a number of processes. The damaged tooth is first prepared by getting rid of any decay or existing fillings. The process for dental crowns starts with a consultation with one of our dental experts, where dental impressions or 3D scanners will be taken to custom-make the dental crowns to fit your teeth. Your dentist will also need to treat and resolve any decay or infection prior to your new crowns being fitted. Your teeth will be prepared for your custom-made crowns, and while you wait for them to be made, a temporary crown will be fitted. You will then need to return for a further appointment when your dental crowns are ready, and they will be fitted with an adhesive material.
Tooth scanning technology has advanced at an astonishing rate over the last 10 years. The scan is done with a CAD-CAM in order to obtain a 3D model of your mouth from the computer software with the help of our mobile scanning device. This whole process is done right in the dental chair with our mobile scanning unit. Our dentist will scan your mouth to allow them to prepare your tailor-made crown. The area is then prepared and cleaned. Within a few hours of your arrival at the Clinic, your tooth will be ready to cement the crown, making the procedure incredibly time-efficient.
Overall, dental crowns are a useful restorative option that can help a broken or decayed tooth regain both form and function. Consult a dentist if you are experiencing dental pain or discomfort or if you have a cracked, broken, or rotting tooth to see if a crown could be the best course of action for you.
