Cosmetic Dentistry
At Dental on King, located in the vibrant heart of Newtown, we specialise in restoring and enhancing smiles through our high-quality dental crown services. If you have a damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised tooth, our experienced team is here to provide customised solutions that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is an artificial tooth covering designed to fit over your natural tooth crown—the part of the tooth visible above the gums. Crowns are used to restore damaged teeth, strengthen weakened teeth, and improve the appearance of your smile. At Dental on King, we use porcelain crowns that closely resemble natural tooth enamel and are colour-matched to your existing teeth, ensuring a natural-looking result without the artificial look of metal crowns or unsightly black lines at the gum level.
Why You Might Need a Dental Crown
We may recommend a dental crown for various reasons, including:
- Repairing a Chipped or Broken Tooth: Crowns can restore the shape and function of teeth that have been fractured due to injury or wear.
- Strengthening a Tooth Weakened by Decay or Root Canal Treatment: After extensive decay removal or a root canal procedure, a crown can provide the necessary protection and strength.
- Restoring a Worn Tooth to Its Original Size and Shape: Teeth that have been worn down by grinding (bruxism) can be rebuilt with crowns.
- Straightening Crooked Teeth: Crowns can be used to correct minor alignment issues, providing a straighter appearance.
Modifying a Tooth’s Appearance for Aesthetic Reasons: Enhance the look of discoloured, misshapen, or uneven teeth for a more harmonious smile.
Choosing dental crowns at Dental on King offers numerous advantages:
- Natural Appearance: Our porcelain crowns mimic the translucency and texture of natural teeth.
- Durability and Strength: Porcelain crowns are as strong as natural teeth and can last between 5 and 15 years, or even longer with proper care.
- Improved Oral Function: Restore your ability to chew and speak effectively.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Achieve a uniform and attractive smile, boosting your confidence.
- Protection: Safeguard weakened teeth from further damage or decay.
During your initial visit, our dentists will conduct a thorough oral health assessment to determine if a dental crown is the best solution for your needs.
The affected tooth is prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the crown. This ensures a perfect fit and natural look.
We take precise dental impressions of your tooth, which are sent to our specialised dental laboratory. We also select a shade that matches your surrounding teeth for a seamless appearance.
A temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth while your custom crown is being crafted.
Once your custom-made porcelain crown is ready, you’ll return for fitting. We ensure the crown fits comfortably and looks natural before permanently cementing it in place.
