A crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over the entire tooth to improve its strength and appearance. Crowns can be made from many types of material such as porcelain, ceramic, gold or metal. Our Professional Dentistry team at our Cranbourne Dental Clinic, recommends a crown service in the following situations:
A dental crown will require two appointments. At Cranbourne Dental Centre, in your first appointment, one of our dentists will reshape the tooth to make it suitable to receive a crown. A mould impression will be made and sent to our experienced dental technicians. For the second appointment, your crown will be cemented in. This will provide a long-term aesthetic restorative solution.
A bridge is similar to a crown but is used to replace one or several missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap — these two or more anchoring teeth are called “abutment teeth” — and false tooth/teeth in between. The fabrication process is very similar to those having crowns and requires two appointments.
The Invisalign System is a comfortable and virtually invisible treatment to effectively straighten your teeth.
Nitrous Oxide a.k.a Happy Gas is often an excellent choice for our nervous patients as it can make the appointment more relaxing and less stressful.
