Dental Crowns
Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth.
Where damage to a person’s teeth is extreme we can use porcelain to make the smile appear “as new”. This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems. It allows options to permanently replace missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite. We are renowned for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for people using this technology. These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems. We warranty our crowns for up to 5 years given the patient maintain their visits. These treatments have been known to last for 20 to 30 years, depending on home-care and attentiveness.
How long does it take to fit a dental crown?
A crown requires at least two visits to our office. Initially, we will remove all decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown.
The following visit we will remove the temporary crown, fit and adjust the final crown.

What are the capabilities of crowns?
Crown and bridgework is a very reliable solution for major dental problems caused through accidents, diseases or wear and tear. Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, crowns and/or bridges can be used as a long-term solution. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Material used in these repairs is high-grade porcelain.
Many people have unexplained pain from previous work on their back teeth, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the tooth and cause “appearance” problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns and bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage.
