Restore Your Smile to its Earlier Glory
With Dental Crowns in Northcote
Life happens, and sometimes our teeth bear the brunt of it. Be it age-related wear, accidental chipping, or decay, a compromised tooth can affect your oral health and confidence. Solutions like dental crowns can help put a cap on your concerns.
Designed to restore both function and aesthetics, a dental crown at our Northcote clinic can be just what you need to transform your smile.
Discovering the Magic of Dental Crowns!
A dental crown, often referred to as a “cap”, envelops the entire visible part of a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. In terms of appearance, it closely resembles your natural tooth.
It is a versatile dental solution that can serve a range of concerns, such as covering up visible imperfections in the case of broken, chipped, severely discoloured or damaged teeth, as well as covering up for missing teeth. Dental crowns can also help reinforce teeth that are weak, as well as those that have undergone extensive work.
These protective coverings can be crafted from various materials, including:
- Ceramics: Durable and good-looking, these make for a popular and affordable choice.
- Porcelain: Preferred for their natural appearance and used predominantly for front teeth.
- Composite Resin: Ideal for those who are sensitive to metals and ceramics.
- Precious Metal Alloys: Durable and resistant to wear or corrosion.
- Zirconia: Renowned for its strength, tooth-like aesthetics, and resistance to chipping.
Diving into the World of Dental Crowns
Getting a dental crown usually entails two visits to our Northcote clinic. Here is an overview of what you can expect.
Your First Visit:
Initial Consultation:
This is usually the first step for any dental procedure. During this time, our dentists will assess the condition of your tooth and determine if a crown is the ideal solution. This is a good time to ask questions and clarify any doubts, discuss material options, and understand the process in detail.
Tooth Preparation:
If a crown is needed, our dentists will start to reshape the tooth to ensure that the crown fits seamlessly. This might involve removing a thin layer of enamel to accommodate the crown. Don’t worry; our advanced pain-free injections using Wand Plus will ensure maximum comfort during this phase.
Taking Impressions:
Once the tooth is prepared, our dentists will take impressions for fabricating your custom dental crown. This mould serves as a blueprint for the dental lab, ensuring your crown is tailored to fit snugly and look natural.
Temporary Crown Fitting:
We will fit a temporary crown on the prepared tooth, to protect it until the time your custom crown is ready. This will also maintain a natural appearance to your smile, until your next visit.
Your Second Visit:
Crown Placement:
Once your dental crown is fabricated, we will gently remove your temporary crown and place your custom crown to try out its fit and colour. If everything looks and feels right, we will proceed to cement it in place.
Aftercare Guidance:
Your new smile deserves to be preserved for years. We will share tips and guidance on how you can keep your crown as good as new for years to come.
