Cosmetic Ceramic Crowns for Front Teeth

Most dentistry looks like dentistry. Our goal is to provide dentistry that is undetectable. We replace existing crowns and fillings with restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth.

Where damage to a person's teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain "pasted on gold" crowns to make the smile appear "as new". This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite. We are renowned for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes we make for people using this technology. These treatments are used for a long-lasting correction of major dental problems. It is usual for these treatments to last for 20 to 30 years, which is as close to permanent as dental treatment can get.

The lady arrived to Canal View Dental concerned about the discolouration of one of her front teeth. As she was getting married the following month she wanted to tackle the discouration as quick as possible. In this case a porcelian white veneer was placed over the original discoloured tooth. Porcelian white veneers are indivual to each patient. Shape and colour of the veneer is customised to each person so the veneer fits in with the surrounding teeth in mouth. As a result veneers are extremely natural looking. Veneers are the most sought after cosmetic dental treatment on the market. For any questions regarding cosmetic porcelian veneers please contact us.

This young man arrived at Canal View Dental after an accident in a football game resulted in a broken tooth. The patient agreed that a ceramic crown would be the best option to allow optimal function and a natural appearance. Ceramic crowns are individually made as colour and shape play an important part in its creation. As crowns are individualised to each patient they look very natural and are a popular option when a tooth has become damaged. For enquiries on ceramic crowns please contact us.

This patient came to us complaining of discoloured upper front teeth. The discolouration was due to a fall the patient had as a child. The patient decided to have two Lava ceramic crowns (sometimes referred to as "caps") placed on her two upper front teeth.  The custom made ceramic Lava crowns matched the colour of the patients existing teeth still on display perfectly allowing for a natural, aesthetically pleasing look.

How long does it take to fit a dental crown?
Fitting a crown requires at least two visits to our office. Initially, we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown of either plastic or metal.

On the subsequent visit we will remove the temporary crown, and then fit and adjust the final crown. Finally, we will cement the crown into place and you have a new beautiful looking tooth.

Key Benefits of Dental Crowns

• Replaces missing teeth
• Offers support to misshapen teeth or badly broken teeth
• Looks completely natural
• Fixes "smile" and functional chewing problems

What are the capabilities of crowns?
Crown and bridgework is a very reliable solution for major dental problems caused through accidents, diseases or wear and tear. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques. Material used in these repairs is either high-grade porcelain, or porcelain bonded to gold. A higher strength of the porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious of dental problems. Where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or as the result of old fillings breaking, crowns and/or bridges can be used as a long-term solution.

Many people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental function for these teeth. In front teeth, older fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause "appearance" problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain Crowns and Bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage.
