Dental crowns are a versatile and widely used dental solution for both aesthetic and functional improvements. They can restore damaged or missing teeth, enhance your smile’s appearance, and help you chew with ease and comfort.
At The Dental Boutique, we focus on creating natural-looking crowns that blend seamlessly with your smile. Let’s explore the benefits, types, and process of getting dental crowns, as well as why they may be the right choice for you.
The Dental Crown Procedure
The dental crown procedure begins with an in-depth consultation. During this appointment, your dentist will conduct a comprehensive assessment, discuss your dental needs, and review treatment options with you. Once a tailored plan is established, the preparation phase begins.
To prepare for the crown, your dentist will carefully shape the tooth by reducing its front, back, and sides, creating adequate space for the crown. At The Dental Boutique, we offer both traditional and same-day crowns. For traditional crowns, an impression of your prepared tooth is taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where a custom crown is crafted. Once ready, the crown is permanently placed and adjusted for a perfect fit.
Same-Day Crowns - Convenience and Quality in One Visit
For eligible patients, we also offer same-day crowns using advanced digital imaging to create a 3D model of the tooth. This allows us to design and fabricate the crown in a single visit, using laboratory-quality milling machines on-site, saving you time and reducing discomfort.
Types of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are crafted from various materials, each offering unique benefits:
- Porcelain/Ceramic: This is the most popular material, and is generally used when the affected tooth is visible when you smile. The colour of the porcelain/ceramic can seamlessly blend in with the rest of your teeth, matching the colour and the texture.
- Dental Bridges: A Complementary Solution: In addition to dental crowns, our Gold Coast practice also offers dental bridges for patients needing to replace one or more missing teeth. Bridges use adjacent teeth for support, filling gaps and restoring your smile’s function. Whether you need crowns, bridges, or both, our team is here to help you.
Benefits of Crowns for Teeth
Dental crowns offer multiple benefits:
- Enhanced Appearance: Crowns can improve the look of damaged or discolored teeth, creating a polished, uniform smile.
- Strength and Durability: Crowns are designed to protect and strengthen weakened teeth, extending their life and function. They’re made to last, typically for many years with proper care.
- Improved Functionality: With dental crowns, you can chew and speak with greater comfort, as they restore the tooth’s shape and structure.
Crowns are a reliable, long-lasting solution for cosmetic and restorative dental needs. Regular dental check-ups with your dentist can help ensure your crowns and oral health remain in good condition.
