Dental crowns

A full coverage dental crown is a way of restoring a functionally compromised tooth and will protect its integrity.

Our dental crowns look and feel like natural teeth. They are durable and strong and designed to last you for many years. We use a range of Dental Laboratories to satisfy each individual patients needs.

Some of our partner Dental Laboratories are;

• Southern Cross Dental Laboratory
• Giorgio Dental Laboratory
• Digital Dental Network (DDN)

At our practice, we are constantly exploring new and advanced technologies to improve the quality of your treatment. Straumann Group have provided us with the latest in digital restoration technology; an Intra-oral Scanner. For patients receiving Dental crowns, this means efficiency, precision and less tray impressions!

Why would I need a dental crown?

Sometimes a tooth can be damaged to the extent that its strength is compromised, such as:

• when there is a large filling in the tooth it can cause deflection and stress on the remaining tooth structure as the filling expands and contracts due to biting forces.
• if you have had a root canal treatment it may lead to drying of the tooth, causing it to become more brittle, prone to fracture and discolouration.
• when a tooth is fractured or cracked you may need a crown to hold it together and prevent further tooth loss.

A crown may also be your best option if are unable to achieve the look you desire with other methods.

Dental bridges

A dental bridge is a way of restoring your smile when a tooth is missing.

We often recommend a bridge for patients who have lost a tooth, leaving a space with teeth on either side.

Our dentists can reduce this gap by placing dental crowns on the teeth on either side and connecting a false tooth to the crowns.

Benefits of a dental bridge

A dental bridge can:

• close the gap created by a missing tooth.
• improve your biting function so you can enjoy the food you love.
• prevent neighbouring teeth from moving.
• produce a natural-looking result.
• give you the confidence that comes with a great-looking smile.
