Porcelain Crowns
If your teeth have been chipped, broken or have been affected by tooth decay, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Crowns are popular restorations for those this with these dental complications, as they securely cap over the biting surfaces to protect the teeth and improve their shape.
A porcelain crown can offer you a natural-looking solution without sacrificing strength or resilience. Crafted by dental technologists using advanced technology, in most cases porcelain crowns will actually improve the appearance of your teeth.
How Does It Work?
Your dentist will provide an anaesthetic to numb the mouth before reshaping the damaged tooth to allow enough room for the crown. A putty-like material will then be moulded around the teeth to create an impression that can be sent to the dental laboratory.
How long will it take?
It can take up to 2 weeks to create a crown, so your dentist may attach a temporary crown while you are waiting. Once the crown has been created, your dentist will permanently bond it to the damaged tooth.
