Crowns at Lee Dental Care

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that restore the shape, size, and strength of damaged or decayed teeth. At Lee Dental Care, we offer a range of crown options designed to fit over existing teeth, providing protection and improving aesthetics.

When Are Crowns Needed?

Crowns may be recommended in various situations, including:

Severe Decay: When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be repaired with a filling.
After Root Canal Treatment: To protect and restore the function of a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy.
Fractured or Cracked Teeth: Crowns can stabilise and protect teeth that are weak or have been fractured.
Cosmetic Improvements: Crowns can enhance the appearance of discoloured or misshapen teeth.

The Crown Procedure

When you come to Lee Dental Care for a dental crown, the process typically involves the following steps:

Consultation: Your dentist will assess the condition of your tooth and discuss your options for a crown.
Tooth Preparation: The dentist will reshape the affected tooth to accommodate the crown. This may involve removing some enamel to ensure a proper fit.
Impressions: After preparation, impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.
Temporary Crown: A temporary crown may be placed while your custom crown is being fabricated.
Crown Placement: Once your permanent crown is ready, the dentist will remove the temporary crown and securely place the new crown, ensuring a proper fit and bite.

Metal: Metal crowns, such as gold or silver, are highly durable and are often used for back teeth due to their strength.
