Dental Crown
A damaged or weakened tooth doesn’t always need to be removed. At Aspiring Smiles Dental, we offer durable, natural-looking dental crowns that restore the strength, shape, and appearance of compromised teeth. Whether due to decay, a large filling, a fracture, or after root canal therapy, a crown can help protect your tooth and preserve your natural smile.
We use high-quality materials and advanced techniques to create crowns that blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth—so you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, or a combination of materials depending on your needs and preferences.
Whether you’ve chipped a tooth, need protection after a root canal, or want to restore your smile’s appearance—dental crowns are a reliable and natural-looking solution. Book a consultation with our team at Aspiring Smiles Dental in Ashgrove today.
What to Expect During a Dental Crown Visit
At Aspiring Smiles Dental, we ensure every step of your crown treatment is comfortable, precise, and tailored to your needs.
- Initial Consultation: We begin with a full dental assessment to determine if a crown is the best option for restoring your tooth. This may include X-rays to evaluate the tooth structure and surrounding bone.
- Tooth Preparation: The affected tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown. If necessary, any decay is removed and the tooth is built up to support the crown.
- Digital Impressions: We take accurate digital impressions of your prepared tooth to ensure a perfect fit. These are sent to our trusted dental lab where your custom crown is crafted.
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown may be placed to protect your tooth while your permanent crown is being made.
- Crown Placement: Once your final crown is ready, we’ll carefully place it, check the fit and bite, and then bond it securely using dental-grade cement.
- Ongoing Care: We’ll provide care instructions and check the crown during your routine visits. With good oral hygiene, your crown can last many years.
