Custom dental crowns
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that encases the entire visible part of a tooth, often described as a cap or helmet for the tooth. It's one of the most reliable treatments in restorative dentistry to protect teeth that need extra support.
At Dentalspa Geelong, our dentists assess each tooth individually before recommending the right dental crown material and treatment plan for your needs. Whether you need to protect a vulnerable tooth or simply want a more confident smile, we are here to guide you through your options.
When might you need a dental crown?
Our Geelong dentists recommend a dental crown when a tooth requires additional strength, structure or protection. The indications for which a crown would be recommended by our clinicians include:
-
Protect a weakened tooth which is likely to fracture
-
Restore a tooth where a significant fracture has occurred
-
Teeth with large fillings and little tooth structure remaining
-
Provide added support and strength to a root canal treated tooth
-
Placed over the top of an implant to provide the tooth replacement
-
Address aesthetic concerns as they can improve appearance, shape and alignment of the teeth
The dental crown process at Dentalspa Geelong
01
Examination & Consultation
Our Geelong dentist will assess the affected tooth and determine the most suitable treatment option. If a dental crown is recommended, we’ll explain the materials, treatment process, expected timeline, and cost in detail.
02
Crown Prep
At your first appointment, the tooth is carefully prepared to make room for the crown, and an impression is taken to guide the construction of your custom restoration. A temporary crown is fitted to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being made.
03
Crown Fitting
At your second appointment, your custom-made crown is checked carefully for fit, bite and appearance before being permanently secured in place.
04
Ongoing Care
We will provide guidance on caring for your new crown and continue to monitor it at your regular preventive care appointments, helping it perform well for years to come.
