Protect and Enhance Damaged Teeth with Expert Crown Placement
Have you got weak or damaged teeth? Are you looking for a solution that looks and feels good?
Weak or damaged teeth can occur over time, or be the result of an accident, or they may also be the aftermath of treatments such as removals or root canals. Whatever the reason behind your pain, we have a fix for you.
Dental crowns are an innovative tooth restoration solution and a popular choice within cosmetic dentistry. Dental crowns are created to look like your teeth and act as little caps to hide the tooth it sits on. They are also placed on top of dental implants to cover gaps. These dental caps provide great support and look fantastic as they hide away gaps and imperfections, giving you a full and beautiful smile.
As a proud provider of high-quality dental crowns, Enhance Smiles encourages you to take a look and see if this is the answer to your problems. Book a consultation now and find out if dental crowns are the way forward for you!
Damaged or Missing Teeth got you down?
When you are not confident in your skin, life can become increasingly difficult and a burden to bear. Most people are very aware of their smile and how their teeth affect it.
People often avoid laughing and smiling for fear of judgment. Teeth can become weak over time, they can break, become chipped or simply fall out (or be removed). Certain dental procedures, such as root canals, can also leave your teeth uneven and exposed. In these instances, your oral health takes a huge hit as these teeth are difficult to clean, they are unable to play their role, and they do not look very nice.
For teeth in these predicaments, there is a strong need for a strong and reliable restoration.
Dental crowns are a strong and reliable solution. They are versatile and custom-made, assisting in securing weak spots and helping you look and feel great.
What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over the visible parts of a weak or damaged tooth. They are created to strengthen and protect the tooth they cover, and they can help you feel more confident with your smile. As Dental crowns are created specifically for the patient, they are shaped and coloured to match the rest of your teeth, giving you a natural-looking restoration.
Dental crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia, all of which can be manipulated to match the colour of your teeth. In some cases, PFM may be used, which is porcelain fused with metal, to give that extra strength. In some cases, if requested, metal alloys such as gold and platinum can also be used.
Dental Crowns: The Step-by-Step Journey
Consultation
As soon as you are ready and have arrived for your Initial consultation, you will be welcomed by our friendly staff. You will then have a sit-down with our dentist, who will talk you through what dental crowns entail. During the consultation, you can express your concerns and goals and everything you hope to achieve with dental crowns. Our team is well-versed in dental crowns and can answer all of your queries. At this stage, the dentist will do a check-up to ensure that a dental crown is the right move for you.
Tooth Preparation
Once a treatment plan has been created according to your needs, the next step will be to prepare your teeth for treatment. Depending on the condition of your teeth, the dentist will need to remove some of your tooth’s enamel and reshape it so that a dental crown can comfortably sit on it.
Impression Taking
Once the tooth is at the desired shape, impressions will be taken to custom-make your crown. Enhance Smiles uses digital impressions and CAD/CAM technology to create a more accurate dental restoration process. Using this, our skilled and experienced dentist will be able to plan and design your dental crown in their office with you.
Temporary Crown Placement
While you are waiting for your bespoke dental crown, you will be fitted with a temporary one to ensure the tooth underneath is well protected.
Final Crown Placement
When your crown is ready and available at the clinic, your dentist will book you in to have it placed.
Dental crowns are a fantastic way to restore teeth. They are durable, affordable, and can give your smile a fresh start and long-lasting protection. Using the best technology, Enhance Smiles can give you natural-looking crowns that will give you the boost that you need.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Dental crowns are part of restorative dentistry. They help to bring back your smile by protecting and strengthening damaged or broken teeth.
They can even save a severely damaged tooth from its untimely demise. Instead of having that tooth pulled out, we offer dental crowns as a protective casing to dispel further harm and deterioration. - The Dental crown is a long-lasting solution for your dental problems. Once a dental crown is fitted into its place, it can last for many, many years and with proper care and oral hygiene can keep your confidence looking great too!
- As dental crowns are customized to suit your needs, it is good to know that the material used can be designed to match your teeth and create a natural-looking smile! For patients focused on enhancing the appearance of their front teeth, veneers offer a similarly aesthetic solution, perfect for improving shape, size, and colour while maintaining a beautiful, uniform smile.
- Having a dental crown fitted will enable you to have a more even bite and can help improve chewing and maintain good oral health. By covering up the damaged tooth with a crown, you are also protecting your tooth from infection and disease.
Enhance Smiles knows that affordability is a big factor in decision-making and is happy to say that our prices are fair and competitive.
As each case is different and contains its complexities, there is no one-size-fits-all price plan. You can discuss this and more with our dental team at your consultation. Provide general information about the cost of dental crowns.
FAQs
What is the Dental Crown Procedure?
Dental crowns are a simple and effective restoration treatment. At your consultation, you will finalise a plan. Then your tooth will be prepped, and impressions will be taken. A temporary crown will be fitted until the actual one arrives, and then the final dental crown fitting will take place.
How long do dental crowns last?
With the proper care and attention, dental crowns can last for years if not decades.
Can Dental Crowns be put on any bad tooth?
Dental crowns have been used to treat severely damaged and broken teeth. At Enhance Smiles, we are confident that your damaged tooth can be restored with a dental crown.
Can I have more than one Dental Crown?
Generally, patients only have one bad tooth that needs a dental crown. If there is more than one, how many crowns you may need will depend on where and how many teeth are damaged. Some may be solved with additional crowns, whereas others may be better suited to dental bridges.
