Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a common restorative solution at Campos Dental, used to repair damaged, weakened, or discoloured teeth.

Dental crowns are a common restorative treatment used to repair teeth that have been damaged, weakened, or discoloured. Whether your tooth has been compromised by decay, trauma, or a large filling, a dental crown can help restore its strength and appearance.

Overview

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, effectively restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often recommended for the following reasons:

  • To Repair a Damaged Tooth: Crowns provide structural support to teeth that are cracked, chipped, or otherwise damaged.

  • Following Root Canal Treatment: A crown is used to protect and cap the tooth after a root canal, ensuring it can function normally.

  • To Improve Appearance: Crowns can cover discoloured or misshapen teeth, enhancing the overall look of your smile.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Getting a dental crown typically involves two visits to our clinic at Campos Dental:

  1. First Visit – Preparation: During the first visit, your dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the tooth to fit the crown. An impression of the tooth is then taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.

  2. Second Visit – Fitting: Once the crown is ready, you’ll return for the fitting. The temporary crown is removed, and the new permanent crown is cemented into place. Your dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and precise fit.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

  • Aesthetics: Modern crowns are designed to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, providing a seamless appearance.

  • Protection: Crowns protect weakened teeth from further damage and decay, extending their lifespan.
