To place your ceramic dental crown we’ll first take x-rays of the damaged tooth.
Then, following local anaesthetic and ever so gently we will trim down the tooth to prepare it for its new dental crown, which will sit over the top of your existing tooth. We will then take an impression of this newly shaped tooth and send it to our specialist ceramicist who will hand-craft your customised dental crown. In the interim we will fit you with a temporary crown, to ensure your tooth is protected from further damage and is cosmetically pleasing.
In approximately two weeks your new ceramic dental crown will be ready to be permanently affixed to your tooth.You’ll leave with a beautiful looking tooth that matches your smile and is ready to be used and will function just like a normal tooth.
A dental crown is a ceramic covering placed over a damaged tooth to ensure functionality again, protect the tooth from further decay, and will present like a natural tooth.
This is a dental procedure where adjacent teeth of a missing or soon-to-be-missing tooth are trimmed back and receive dental crowns, to support a middle prosthetic tooth.
We use ceramic dental crowns and the cost for a dental crown at Illumident starts from $2,190 Very rarely other dentists may use gold crowns – however these are more expensive.
If your tooth has been chipped, weakened or broken, you might need a dental crown. Similarly, if a tooth cavity is too significant from decay or if you’ve had root canal therapy, a dental crown might be prescribed as the final stage of the treatment.
Dental crowns can cause hot/cold tooth sensitivity of the crowned tooth, and very few people have reported an allergic reaction to their dental crown. If you experience any of these please get in touch. Similarly, if you’re experiencing bleeding gums – gum disease, chipped or a dislodged crown – please book an appointment immediately.
Lastly, the cost of dental crowns could be considered a disadvantage, however this can be managed with our finance options.
