Dental Crowns In Clayton
Restore and protect your teeth with high-quality dental crowns from Dunstan Dental, in Clayton, Victoria. Our expert team are ready to provide durable, natural-looking crowns to improve your damaged teeth and overall dental health.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped ‘cap’. Crowns are used to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a weak, broken or decayed tooth. Crowns fully encase the visible portion of a tooth above the gum line, preventing the tooth and any fillings underneath from breaking further.
When Are Dental Crowns Needed?
Crowns may be recommended to:
- Strengthen weak teeth
- Restore a worn-down or broken tooth
- Cover and support a tooth with a large filling
- Hold a dental bridge in place
- Cover A misshapen or discoloured tooth
- Cover a root canal-treated tooth
- Cover a dental implant
Types Of Dental Crowns
With new advancements in technologies, crowns can be tailored to precisely match your existing teeth. They may be made of porcelain or a combination of porcelain and metal. However, both options result in a life-like appearance. We offer various types of crowns to suit different needs:
Porcelain Crowns Ideal for front teeth, offering the most natural look. These crowns are made entirely of porcelain and are an excellent choice for patients with metal allergies.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns Combine strength and aesthetics. The metal base provides durability, while the porcelain exterior ensures a natural appearance.
All-Metal Crowns Extremely durable, often used for back teeth. These crowns are typically made of gold alloy or other high-strength metals and are ideal for molars that sustain great forces.
Zirconia Crowns Strong and natural-looking, suitable for any tooth. Zirconia crowns offer the strength of metal crowns with the aesthetics of porcelain.
