Improve Your Tooth's Appearance And Function With Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a versatile treatment option, addressing various dental issues, such as cracked or chipped teeth, broken teeth, decayed teeth, worn-down teeth, and more.

At Maylands Dental Centre we offer dental crown services to manage your dental concerns effectively. A dental crown is an artificial tooth that covers an entire tooth that is significantly damaged or decayed. It is also used to preserve a tooth with a large filling after root canal treatment or to support a dental implant. This type of restoration not only enhances the appearance of your tooth but also strengthens and protects its structure.

Our team of dentists is committed to finding the most appropriate dental restoration for your oral health needs, helping to restore your confident smile. We employ the latest dental technology and materials to provide you with quality dental service. Contact us today or book an appointment online at 08 9370 5464

Reasons Why You Would Need Dental Crown

If you have misshapen or severely discoloured teeth, dental crowns can give you that perfect smile.
If your tooth has large dental fillings and very little natural tooth structure remaining, a dental crown can be used to cover and support the tooth.

If you have tooth decay, a dental crown can prevent decay from reaching the neighboring teeth.
If you've had root canal treatment, you may need a dental crown to protect and cover the tooth.
If you are getting dental implants to replace a missing tooth, a dental crown is used to cover implants and act as an artificial tooth.

FAQ'S

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during the procedure for dental crowns?

Before placing your dental crown, your dentist will examine your damaged tooth to develop a treatment plan. After a thorough assessment, a personalised treatment plan will be developed that outlines how the dental crown procedure will be performed. Generally, a conventional crown procedure usually involves two dental appointments, depending on the patient’s case:

First Visit:
The dentist will remove a thin layer of natural tooth structure to achieve the proper shape and create space for the dental crown. They will also take X-rays and moulds of the prepared tooth. Then, your dental impression will be sent to a laboratory to make a custom-made dental crown. Depending on how long the fabrication takes, a temporary crown is commonly placed to protect the tooth in the meantime.
Second Visit:
Once the custom crown is ready, you’ll need to return to our dental clinic for the crown fitting. This second visit usually takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes. Your dentist will remove your temporary crown and replace it with your final crown using dental cement. Following the procedure, you will receive instructions on good oral hygiene and be reminded to schedule regular dental check-ups with your dentist.

For those seeking convenience for tooth restorations without compromising on quality, same-day crowns offer a streamlined alternative. Using advanced technology, your dentist can design, fabricate, and fit a custom-made crown in a single appointment. However, it’s important to note that same-day crowns may not be suitable for all cases, depending on the specific dental condition and complexity of the required restoration.

When would I need a temporary crown?

While waiting for your crown placement schedule, you will need a temporary crown. This temporary crown protects your prepared tooth from damage and sensitivity, allowing you to continue eating and speaking normally. It keeps the tooth stable and comfortable until your final crown is ready to be attached.

How long does it take to get a dental crown?

The process of getting a dental crown sually takes about two to three weeks from start to finish. After your initial visit, where the normal tooth is prepared and an impression is taken, it usually takes about one to two weeks for the dental lab to create your custom crown. Your dentist will insert a temporary dental crown to protect your shaped tooth during this period. Once your crown is ready, you will return for a second visit to have it fitted and cemented into place. Overall, the entire process involves two dental appointments and a waiting period for the fabrication of the crown.

How do I take care of my dental crown?

Taking care of your tooth crown is essential for its longevity and the health of your surrounding teeth. Here are some tips:

Maintain Good Dental Hygiene:
Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss them daily to keep your crown and the area around it clean. This helps prevent plaque from accumulating, which can result in to decay and gum disease.
Use a Soft-Bristled Toothbrush:
This helps prevent damage to the crown and the gum line. A soft-bristled toothbrush is gentle on your crown while effectively removing food particles and plaque.
Avoid Hard Foods:
Avoid chewing on ice, hard candies, and nuts, which can crack or damage your crown. Consuming these foods can put unnecessary stress on your crown, leading to potential fractures.
Be Cautious with Sticky Foods:
Sticky foods like caramel or chewing gum can pull at the crown and potentially dislodge it. They can also adhere to your crown and create tension, risking displacement.
Visit Your Dentist Regularly:
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings help monitor the condition of your crown and address any issues promptly. Your dentist can identify signs of damage and provide timely interventions.
Wear a Mouthguard:
If you suspect that you grind your teeth at night or participate in contact sports, wearing a custom-made mouthguard can protect your crown from damage. This dental device acts as a cushion that absorbs the impact, reducing the risk of fractures.
Refrain from Using Your Teeth as Tools:
Do not use your teeth to open bottles or packages. Doing so can apply excessive pressure that can damage your crown and other teeth. Using your teeth for such tasks can create excessive force, leading to chips or breaks.

By following these oral care tips, you can help promote a longer lifespan of your dental crown and maintain your oral health.

What is the cost of dental crowns in Perth?

The cost of crown treatment in Perth varies depending on the types of crowns and the complexity of the procedure. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the price ranges and what each type of crown offers:

Ceramic Crowns:
$1,700 – $1,900 per tooth. Ceramic crowns are known for their natural appearance and are often used for front teeth due to their ability to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Porcelain Crowns:
$1,700 – $1,900 per tooth. Porcelain material is highly aesthetic and provides a natural look. They are suitable for front and back teeth and offer durability along with a lifelike appearance.
Full metal Crowns:
$1,700–$2,200 per tooth. Full metal crowns, usually made of gold or other alloys, are extremely durable and are ideal for molars that endure heavy chewing forces. They are unlikely to chip or break compared to other types.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns:
$1,600–$2,000 per tooth. These crowns combine the strength of a metal base with the aesthetic appearance of a porcelain exterior. They offer a good balance of durability and appearance, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.

These prices can vary between different dental clinics, so it’s recommended to consult with your dentist for a more accurate estimate and to inquire about any additional costs that might be involved.

We highly suggest consulting a dentist to get an accurate estimation of dental crown costs and to discuss any specific needs or concerns you may have. Our team of dental professionals will provide a detailed treatment plan tailored to your oral health requirements and aesthetic preferences, including the cost.
