Dental Crowns in Melbourne
Porcelain crowns are commonly used to restore and protect teeth that have sustained significant damage. They may be considered in situations such as substantial loss of tooth structure, following root canal treatment, or where a tooth has cracks that affect function, depending on individual clinical assessment.
The suitability of a porcelain crown, and its longevity, varies between patients and should be determined through a comprehensive dental examination and discussion of treatment options.
Did you know that you can walk away with a new porcelain crown within 2 hours from start to finish? Please visit our CEREC page to find out more.
Creating the Best Porcelain Crowns for you
Whilst CEREC can produce an immediate dental crown for you in such a short space of time, there are still times we do porcelain crowns the traditional way.
- If the colour matching the adjacent tooth is challenging
- If we want to place a temporary crown on the tooth for a short period of time to see if the toothache goes away
- If you’re also having porcelain veneers on other teeth and we are doing everything together.
In the above situations, we will require you to complete the process in 2 visits.
Your Customised Porcelain Crown Journey from start to finish
Porcelain Crown Preparation
Our gentle Brighton dentist will then numb you up to ensure you are have a painless dental experience, a thin layer of your old dental filling and/or tooth will be trimmed away to create the adequate space to best support your porcelain crown. During this process all the dental infection and bacteria will be removed to ensure the tooth is healthy.
Once completed, we will take a digital 3D mould or impression of the tooth. This will be sent to our dental laboratory where our master dental ceramist will create a customized porcelain crown in readiness for your next appointment.
During the waiting period, you will be issued a temporary crown which will be cemented onto the tooth before the end of the appointment.
Porcelain Crown Cementation
Once the crown is glued onto the tooth our experienced dentist will adjust the bite, shape and size to ensure the final porcelain crown fits perfectly, looks great and functions like a normal tooth. This visit is usually 30-40min for a single tooth.
