Dental crowns are a critical part of dentistry because we use them widely in many treatments and procedures. Because they’re vital, relying on quality materials like ceramic to ensure longevity, beauty, and function only makes sense.
Dental crowns work in:
- General dentistry to restore damaged or treated teeth
- Cosmetic dentistry to hide tooth flaws and imperfections
- Tooth replacement dentistry to restore dental implants
A Vital Restoration: What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns in Neutral Bay are tooth caps designed to look like your neighbouring teeth. The hollow covers fit over dental implant posts and treated teeth to restore your smile.
Sometimes, if a cavity is too widespread, we’ll use a dental crown instead of a tooth-coloured filling to restore your tooth. Crowns protect weak teeth by creating a safe space between the teeth and your bite force.
Keep Your Crowns Looking Beautiful and Functional
Dental crowns are easy to care for. Simply brush and floss them like natural teeth. It’s also important to book regular checks and cleans with your Neutral Bay dentist.
You should avoid biting into hard or sticky foods directly with your crown, and always check with your dentist if you suspect nighttime bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching).
If you notice your dental crown loosening or any swelling at the gumline, it’s vital to schedule a visit for treatment, crown replacement, or restoration repair. A loose or damaged crown can lead to tooth decay and oral tooth infections.
Dental Crowns: A Long-Lasting Restoration
A dental crown can last up to 15 years or longer, and healthy habits contribute to its longevity.
