All our dental crowns at Aherne Dental Clinic are custom-made by our experienced team of dental technicians. If you’d like to speak to one of our knowledgeable dentists about dental crowns, they will be happy to discuss your needs in our comfortable, well-equipped practice.
A dental crown is a fitted cap that is placed over a tooth to protect and restore damaged teeth. Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials: most commonly porcelain, ceramic and metal.
Crowns can also help:
• Disguise a discoloured filling to improve the appearance of the tooth
• Protect a tooth after root canal treatment to prevent future damage
• Hold and anchor a dental bridge and partial denture firmly in place
Your dentist might suggest a dental crown if you have:
• A weak tooth
• A cracked tooth
• A broken or worn-down tooth
• Advanced tooth decay
• Discoloured or misshapen teeth
• Root canal treatment
• Dental implants
• Partial dentures
The procedure usually requires two sessions at Aherne Dental Clinic. Firstly, your dentist will prepare your tooth for a crown, filing it down into a shape that best accommodates the false dental cap. Dental impressions or scans are then taken, which will be sent to a laboratory. You’ll be given a temporary crown while you wait for your final crown to be made. When it’s ready, your dentist will fit your dental cap, bonding it in place with a dental adhesive.
