Thanks to our investment in cutting-edge technology, same-day crowns are now possible at Kedron Dental Centre. Our CEREC Primemill system scans, fabricates and fits your crown all in one visit — often in as little as two hours, with no second appointment or temporary crown required.
A permanent cover that encases the entire tooth it's cemented onto. Crowns come in porcelain, gold alloy, acrylic and porcelain-bonded-to-metal, and are used to strengthen and rebuild severely broken, cracked or decayed teeth — as well as to improve the way a tooth looks.
To restore a chipped, cracked or worn-down tooth; protect a weak tooth; support a bridge; cover a tooth with a large filling or a dental implant; cover a misshapen or discoloured tooth; or protect a tooth after root canal treatment — once the nerve is removed, a tooth can become more brittle, and a crown helps seal and strengthen it against future fracture.
There are many different dental crowns available to suit anyone’s needs and budget. Permanent tooth caps can be made from materials including:
Ceramic
With recent advances in dental materials, ceramic crowns are now ideal for front and back teeth alike, offering good strength alongside the best natural colour match.
Metal
Rarely chips or breaks, minimal wear on other teeth — best suited for molars due to colour.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal
Popular choice, colour-matched to your natural tooth.
Resin
More affordable, though it wears down faster over time.
As with any restorative work: removal of healthy tooth structure, possible nerve sensitivity, bite misalignment or TMJ discomfort, and infection risk if the crown isn't properly sealed or cared for. We'll talk you through what to expect for your specific case.
We're committed to providing thoughtful, patient-focused dental care in a friendly, professional and relaxed atmosphere. We've invested significantly in modern equipment and technology, and our dentists stay up to date with the latest techniques through ongoing professional development.
