At White Space Dental in Manly, our team of experienced dental professionals takes pride in being local leaders in cosmetic dentistry in Sydney. We understand the importance of restoring and protecting your teeth for a healthy, beautiful smile. That’s why we offer high-quality dental crowns, a versatile and effective solution for a wide range of dental concerns.
What are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are designed to fit snugly over the remaining portion of the natural tooth, providing a protective covering and restoring its functionality.
When are Dental Crowns Recommended?
Dental crowns are commonly recommended in the following situations:
- Tooth Decay or Damage: If a tooth has extensive decay or is cracked, chipped, or broken, a crown can protect and strengthen the remaining tooth structure.
- Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal procedure, a crown is often placed to restore the tooth’s appearance and functionality.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Crowns can be used to improve the appearance of misshapen, discoloured, or irregularly shaped teeth.
- Dental Bridge Support: Crowns are used to anchor dental bridges, which replace missing teeth.
- Dental Implant Restoration: Crowns are placed on top of dental implants to restore the appearance and function of missing teeth.
The Dental Crown Process at White Space Dental
At our Manly dental practice, we follow a meticulous process to ensure the best possible fit and natural-looking results for your dental crowns:
- Consultation and Examination: Our dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth and discuss your goals and concerns to determine if a dental crown is the right solution for you.
- Tooth Preparation: The tooth receiving the crown will be reshaped to accommodate the new crown. This process may involve removing a small amount of enamel to ensure a proper fit.
- 3D Scanning and Shade Selection: We will take precise impressions of your teeth and select the appropriate shade to match your natural tooth colour.
- Temporary Crown Placement: A temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while the permanent crown is being fabricated in our dental laboratory.
- Permanent Crown Placement: Once your custom-made crown is ready, you’ll return for a second appointment where the temporary crown will be removed, and the permanent crown will be securely bonded to your tooth.
