Dental Crowns

Quality Dental Care provides dental crowns for patients who require a solution to a weak or damaged tooth. Visit us at either of our Sydney locations for an appointment to discuss a solution for your smile.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are used in both cosmetic dentistry and general dentistry. A crown is a 360-degree prosthetic device, which can be fabricated from different materials. Crowns are cemented onto existing teeth or implants and can only be removed by a dentist.

The aim of crowns is to restore the functionality of a weakened or damaged tooth and to support the remaining tooth structure. Crowns can also improve the appearance of the tooth, as well as its shape and alignment. Porcelain crowns are matched to the colour of your teeth so they both look and feel like your natural tooth.

Sometimes, particularly for back teeth, we recommend the use of other materials aside from porcelain, such as gold and metal alloys, as these crowns are often stronger. For aesthetic areas, we might recommend a porcelain fused to mental (PFM) or an all porcelain crown.

Reasons for Dental Crowns

Your dentist at Quality Dental Care might recommend this treatment in order to:

• Replace a large filling when there isn't enough tooth remaining
  
• Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
  
• Restore a fractured tooth
  
• Attach a bridge
  
• Protect a heavily decayed and bacteria-filled tooth
  
• Cover a dental implant
  
• Cover a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth
  
• Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
