Dental Crowns Before and After
Damaged and discoloured teeth are prepared and shaped to accommodate new crowns that match the natural tooth colour.
How we create your new Crowns
CEREC (ceramic reconstruction) is a revolutionary system that enables us to design, fabricate, and fit your new porcelain Crowns or Veneers in a single visit.
This new technology has revolutionised ceramic restorations for patients, eliminating the wait for the finished product.
Veneers and Crowns created with CEREC are metal-free and coloured to restore your tooth’s natural look, strength, and function.
CEREC is the world’s only system for fabricating ceramic restorations in just one visit.
The state-of-the-art equipment enables us to take high-resolution 3D digital images of your teeth and design your new Veneer or Crown to fit your existing teeth perfectly.
Your Veneer or Crown is then created from porcelain ceramic and fitted during the same appointment.
Any of your teeth can be restored with CEREC, with very little preparation required, and the restorations are solid and durable because they are milled from a single ceramic block.
Your new Crowns and Veneers will perfectly match your other teeth and blend in as if they’ve always been there.
The process is comfortable and quick, making it useful for nervous patients.
Dental Crowns FAQ
What are dental Crowns?
Crowns are dental restorations that cover all or part of a tooth.
Crowns can restore cracked or weakened teeth to strength and function, improve their appearance and position, give them a natural shape, and help hold the tooth together to prevent further fractures.
Why might I need a Crown?
If your tooth has broken or undergone significant decay, and there isn’t enough tooth structure to support a filling or maintain functionality.
If you’ve had a Dental Implant to replace a missing tooth, a Crown will be fitted to the abutment of the titanium implant.
Crowns can be used to help hold Dentures or Dental Bridges in place.
What are the alternatives to dental Crowns?
Part-Crowns, known as Inlays and Onlays, can be used in place of full Crowns along with Composite Bonding or Dental Veneers.
Our Cosmetic Dentist, Dr Lenore Bronkhorst, will advise you on the best course of action to work within your budget
Is getting a Crown painful?
A local anaesthetic is used to prevent pain during the procedure. If you prefer, Sedation is also available.
How much natural tooth must be available for a Crown to be fitted?
In most cases, only about 1/4 of your natural tooth must be present. Crowns are designed to restore heavily damaged teeth.
If there isn’t enough natural tooth to work with, inserting a metal post into the tooth root may be necessary before placing a Crown, giving support to help the Crown stay in place.
Is it better to get a Crown or to have the tooth extracted?
It’s always better to save your natural tooth if possible. Natural teeth are stronger, and where there’s a gap in the jawbone, the surrounding bone will collapse, often making you appear older than you are.
How long do dental Crowns last?
Well-cared-for Crowns will last for 10-20 years. Crowns themselves don’t decay, but where they’re joined to the tooth can. Crowns need to be cared for and cleaned just like your natural teeth.
