What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made, tooth-shaped caps that cover the entire visible portion of a tooth. They are crafted from durable, high-quality porcelain that mimics the natural look of your teeth. These crowns restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a damaged tooth.
Porcelain is an ideal material for crowns because it closely resembles the translucency and color of natural teeth. This makes porcelain crowns a popular choice for both restoring functionality and maintaining a natural, aesthetic look.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges offer an effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth by literally "bridging" the gap in your smile. These custom-made prosthetics consist of replacement teeth anchored by dental crowns on either side, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Bridges prevent remaining teeth from shifting, maintain proper bite alignment, improve speech, and restore your ability to chew properly. Made from durable materials that match your natural teeth, dental bridges provide a fixed, non-removable option that can last for many years with proper care, helping you regain confidence in your smile.
Why Would I Get Sleep Dentistry for Crowns And Bridges?
At Sleep Dentistry Carindale, dental crowns can be placed while the patient is under sedation, making the experience stress-free for those with dental anxiety. The use of sedation ensures that the patient is completely asleep and unaware throughout the procedure, eliminating fear and discomfort.
The facility is designed specifically for procedures like this. This approach allows patients to comfortably receive the necessary treatment, such as dental crown placement, in a single session without the distress commonly associated with dental visits.
Why Might I Need Crowns?
Dental crowns are often needed when a tooth is too damaged to be repaired with a simple filling or bonding. Common reasons for needing a porcelain crown include:
- Severely decayed teeth
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Large fillings
- Cosmetic improvements
Porcelain Crown Process
- During the first visit, we will assess the health of your tooth and determine if a dental crown is the best solution for you.
- To make room for the crown, a small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth. This ensures the crown will fit properly.
- We will then take an impression of the tooth, which is sent to a dental lab to customize your porcelain crown.
- While your permanent crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth.
- You will return for your second visit once your custom porcelain crown is ready.
- The temporary crown is removed, and the permanent crown is fitted and cemented in place. We will check the fit and bite to ensure comfort and functionality.
Porcelain crowns and bridges are strong and durable, making them resistant to wear and tear from chewing and biting. They can last many years with proper care. Once in place, crowns can restore the full function of your tooth, and we can match the crown color to your natural tooth shape, color, and size — making them look natural.
