Crowns are natural looking tooth shaped caps which fit over your teeth to provide them with beauty and strength. They are made out of porcelain ceramic which may be reinforced for added strength. Crowns can now be completed in a single visit due to advanced CEREC technology.
Teeth with large fillings, root canals or cracks are weak and can break when you bite and chew. A crown will protect these teeth from fracture and help prevent problems in the future.
When a tooth is too damaged to support a composite filling but not damaged enough for a full coverage crown, the conservative approach is to use an inlay or onlay. If you cap a damaged tooth unnecessarily with a crown, it removes healthy enamel. A large dental filling can weaken the remaining structure of the tooth, causing the tooth to break or crack and this could eventually result in a root canal.
Ceramic inlays and onlays are the same kind of restoration, but they cover different proportions of the tooth. A dental inlay fills the space like a jigsaw puzzle, enabling us to only take away what is necessary.
We believe that prevention is better than cure, especially where teeth and gum health is concerned. This begins with good oral hygiene at home and regular dental check-ups with a qualified dentist.
We encourage adults and children to visit our clinic every six to twelve months for an oral check-up of their teeth and gums.
