Most dentistry looks like dentistry. Our goal is to provide dentistry that looks like nature.
We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your
natural teeth.
Where damage to a person's teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, we can use
porcelain or porcelain fused to gold crowns to make the smile appear "as new". This is
an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems. We are
renowned for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for people
using this technology.
Key Benefits:
- » Replaces missing teeth
- » Offers support to misshapen teeth or badly broken teeth
- » Looks completely natural
- » Fixes "smile" and functional chewing problems
How long does it take?
Fitting a crown requires at least two visits to our office. Initially, we will remove decay,
shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown of tooth colored acrylic.
On the subsequent visit we will remove the temporary crown, and then fit and adjust the
final crown. Finally, we will cement the crown into place and you have a new beautiful
looking tooth.
What are the capabilities of crowns?
Crown and bridgework is a very reliable solution for major dental problems caused
through accidents, diseases or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be
corrected using these techniques. Material used in these repairs is either
high-grade porcelain, or porcelain bonded to gold. A higher strength of the
porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious of dental
problems. Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where
teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings
breaking, crowns and/or bridges can be used as a long-term solution.
Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth, which is usually
due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on
these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function
for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth
and cause "appearance" problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns
and bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth
with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage.
