Dental Crowns

We are dedicated to restoring and protecting your smile! Dental crowns are an effective solution for a variety of dental issues, including cracked, chipped, or severely decayed teeth.

Dental crowns are like caps that cover damaged teeth, making them stronger and improving their appearance. Whether or not a crown is needed can be determined by the dentist. The process is simple and depending on individual circumstances an efficient plan can be made.

Consultation: Visit our dental team, who will examine your teeth and determine if a crown is needed.
Tooth Preparation: The dentist will numb the area and reshape the tooth to make room for the crown.
Impressions: An impression of your tooth will be taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.
Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being made, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth.
Crown Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, the dentist will remove the temporary crown and bond the new crown onto your tooth.
Bite Adjustment: The dentist will ensure that your bite is comfortable and make any necessary adjustments.
Final Polish: The crown will be polished to match the colour and texture of your natural teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I get a dental crown, will it be noticeable?

No, dental crowns are designed to blend in with your natural teeth, so they are not usually noticeable in the mouth. They are made to match the colour and shape of your existing teeth, giving you a natural-looking smile.

Do temporary dental crowns hurt?

Temporary crowns should not cause significant pain. However, it's common to experience some sensitivity or discomfort, especially when eating or drinking hot or cold substances. If you have any concerns or if the pain becomes severe, it's best to consult with your dentist.

How do dentists reshape teeth for crowns?

Dentists use dental instruments to carefully remove a small amount of enamel from the tooth. This allows them to create space for the crown to fit properly. The amount of reshaping depends on the specific case and the type of crown being used. Dentists aim to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible while ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for the crown.

Will my dental crown break if I eat hard foods?

Dental crowns are quite strong and durable. While they are designed to withstand normal biting and chewing forces, it's best to avoid biting down on extremely hard foods, such as ice or hard candies, as they can potentially damage the crown. It's always a good idea to be mindful of what you eat to help maintain the longevity of your dental crown.
