DENTAL CROWNS

Damaged or missing teeth affect more than just your confidence, they can also cause prolonged discomfort and even lead to health problems if left untreated. So the sooner you receive professional care from our dental centre, the better you will feel and the sooner you can start showing your smile again.

Illawarra Dental Centre offers a full range of advanced restorative procedures such as dental crowns that improve the health and aesthetics of your teeth.

Dental crowns are specially fabricated from porcelain and other high strength materials. The crown is then fixed over the affected tooth, restoring its function and natural aesthetics. Once in place it looks nearly indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth.

When Are Dental Crowns Needed?

Dental crowns are typically needed to:

  • Protect a weak tooth (such as from decay)
  • Restore a broken tooth or a tooth that has been worn down by excessive grinding
  • Prevent a tooth from fracturing after receiving a root canal treatment
  • Cover misshapen or severely discoloured teeth
  • Support a tooth with a large filling
  • Hold a dental bridge in place

Whether you actually need a dental crown largely depends on your situation, so we first conduct an extensive evaluation. This involves taking several x-rays to assess how badly damaged the affected tooth is and if any other procedures need to be done first. Preparing a tooth for a crown starts by making an impression of the affected tooth, which is then sent to a dental laboratory to have them specially fabricated.

Crowns are made of porcelain to improve the aesthetics of damaged teeth and restore their function. On your next scheduled visit, the new crown is then permanently cemented in place.
