Crowns, Bridges and Dental Implants
Dental crowns are brilliant solutions for various dental concerns, and at Pure Dental Toowoomba, Dr Nicola regularly uses them to restore our patients' smiles and dental function.
Think of a crown as a custom-made "cap" that fits snugly over your natural tooth. These reliable restorations can address several dental issues, including protecting and strengthening teeth weakened by decay, cracks, or large fillings. If you've recently had root canal treatment, a crown protects your treated tooth.
How We Can Use Dental Crowns in Toowoomba
Crowns are particularly useful for repairing severely worn-down or broken teeth. They're also fantastic for improving the appearance of misshapen or severely discoloured teeth that haven't responded well to whitening treatments.
In cases where you have a missing tooth, crowns play a vital role in dental bridges and implant restorations. They create a natural-looking tooth replacement that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
We craft our dental crowns from high-quality materials, such as ceramic porcelain, that closely match your tooth colour, ensuring they look completely natural. The procedure typically requires two visits—one for preparation and taking impressions and another to fit your permanent crown.
The best part? With proper care and regular dental check-ups, your crown can last for many years, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. If you think a dental crown might be right for you, see Dr Nicola for a thorough assessment of your specific needs.
