If you have a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth that is causing concern, a dental crown may be worth discussing with your dentist. At Crown Dental Group in Narre Warren South, our experienced team assesses your oral health needs before recommending any treatment.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to rebuild its shape and strength. Crowns are indicated when a tooth is too compromised for a filling alone, such as after root canal treatment, significant decay, or a fracture.
Tooth damage can develop gradually through wear or decay, or result from a single incident such as a crack or break. Left untreated, a compromised tooth is at risk of further deterioration, which may eventually lead to extraction. A crown addresses this by covering the full visible surface of the tooth, restoring its structural integrity and allowing it to continue functioning within the mouth.
A crown covers a cracked or decayed tooth, helping to protect it from further damage.
Crowns are designed to restore comfortable biting and chewing where a damaged tooth has affected function.
Each crown is custom-made to match the colour and shape of your surrounding teeth.
Crowns play a key role in treatments such as dental bridges and dental implants.
With good oral hygiene and routine dental check-ups, a well-placed crown can provide durable support.
Your dentist will examine the affected tooth and discuss whether a crown is right for your case.
A small amount of the tooth’s structure is reshaped to allow the crown to fit. Local anaesthetic is used. An impression or digital scan is taken to guide the fabrication of your custom crown.
A temporary crown is placed while your permanent crown is being made.
Once ready, your dentist checks the fit, colour, and bite before bonding the crown in place. They will discuss what to expect at each stage during your consultation.
