When to Consider Crowns

Dental crowns are versatile treatments ideal for resolving various dental concerns. For instance, they are suitable for patients looking to restore worn-out teeth or protect weak teeth that are vulnerable to fracture. Teeth after root canal treatment are particular vulnerable to fracture. Alternatively, some might use them to hide discoloured teeth or restore the appearance of irregularly shaped teeth.

Do you have multiple missing teeth that need replacing? You can also use crowns that are linked together, called a dental bridge to attain the beautiful smile you desire.

What Our Dental Crown Procedure Involves

At Care Dental Camberwell, we utilise cutting-edge technology that allows us to offer same-day dental crowns. We will prepare your tooth before taking a digital scan and designing the crown during the procedure.

When fitting the crown, we will remove a thin layer of the underlying tooth’s surface to fit your crown on top of the tooth securely. Afterwards, we will use dental cement to fit the crown over your tooth to seal it in place. The crown will fit seamlessly onto your existing tooth, allowing optimal cleaning.
