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.

White Fillings

White fillings, made from tooth-coloured composite material, provide an aesthetic solution for cavities in visible areas. They bond directly to the tooth structure, preserving more of the natural tooth and offering a seamless look.

Root Treatment

Root treatment, or root canal therapy, removes infection from the tooth's root canal, saving severely damaged or infected teeth. This procedure alleviates pain and restores normal function, preventing the need for extraction.

Extractions

Extractions involve the safe removal of damaged or decayed teeth that cannot be repaired. This procedure alleviates pain and prevents the spread of infection, paving the way for further restorative options like dentures or implants.
