Long-Lasting Dental Crowns at Magic Smiles Coffs Harbour
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped restorations that cover and safeguard a weakened or damaged tooth. A tooth cap, as crowns are sometimes called, encases the visible portion of your tooth above the gum line, restoring its shape, size, strength and appearance.
There are several reasons why your dentist might suggest a dental crown:
During your consultation at our Coffs Harbour practice, we'll discuss whether a crown is the most appropriate treatment option for your situation.
There are several types of crowns available, each with different characteristics:
These crowns can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth, making them suitable for front and back teeth where appearance is important.
These combine the strength of metal with the aesthetic appearance of porcelain.
Known for their durability and longevity, these are often used for back teeth where appearance is less critical.
These offer both strength and aesthetic appeal.
Your dentist will discuss which type of crown material may be most suitable based on the location of the tooth, your oral health needs, and your preferences.
Crowns for teeth require the same care as your natural teeth. We recommend:
With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns can last many years.
While crowns are durable, they don't last forever. Consider replacing your dental crown if:
Our team at Magic Smiles will monitor your crown during regular check-ups and advise you if replacement becomes necessary.
Getting a dental crown typically involves two appointments at our practice. During your initial appointment, your dentist prepares the tooth by removing any decay and reshaping it so the crown can fit properly. Impressions of your teeth will then be taken to ensure a precise fit for your custom-made restoration. While your permanent crown is being crafted, your tooth will be protected with a temporary crown.
Once your custom crown is ready, you'll return to have the temporary crown removed and the permanent crown fitted. Your dentist will check the fit, colour and bite before permanently cementing the crown in place.
