At Mandurah Dental, we have a wide range of restorative dentistry services that restore your pearly whites using top-grade materials and methods. Dental crowns are one such option to restore missing or damaged teeth. When you get dental crowns from Mandurah Dental, you enjoy long-lasting results and brilliant-looking teeth.

What is a dental crown?

Dental crowns are caps that cover damaged or missing teeth. These caps are permanently attached to the underlying tooth or dental implant using dental cement. Hence, unlike dentures, they cannot be removed and function like a natural part of your teeth. Whether you have a tooth affected by decay, it has been removed due to root canal treatment, or is damaged or missing due to some injury, dental crowns are a great way to cover or replace that area. Dental crowns are usually made of porcelain or ceramic, but your dentist may recommend a different material too if he feels that will achieve the best results. The crown can be matched to the natural colour of your teeth. Hence, not only do dental crowns restore the strength and functionality of your teeth but they also improve the aesthetics of your smile!

Our dental crowns include:

Full metal

These are placed on teeth that aren’t visible and which require a stronger crown. We usually choose either cast-gold alloy or milled titanium for these.

Porcelain bonded to metal

The most commonly used crown, these are great for back teeth.

Non-metal

These crowns have a much better appearance than conventional crowns. All ceramic crowns are biocompatible, so the body accepts them more easily.

Dental crowns can be either temporary or permanent, depending on each patient’s individual needs. To fit them, the dentist must first drill down the old tooth so there’s room for the crown to sit neatly on top. The mould is generally made on your first visit, once your tooth has been prepared, with the crown then fitted a few days later.

We understand that any dental treatment can be stressful for patients, so we’ll always make you as relaxed and comfortable as possible.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

The better you look after your mouth and teeth, the more time you will get out of your crown.

If you have dental crowns and are worried about them then consult us at Mandurah Dental to make sure any early symptoms are managed before they become a problem. On average a dental crown will last you between 10 and 15 years. This does not mean that after a specific time, you need to replace the crown. If the crown and the surrounding tooth structure, gum and jaw bone are in good condition, the crown can be left forever.

There are a few factors that can influence this.

Practising good dental hygiene is of course very important.
Poor dental hygiene leads to tooth decay and gum disease which can cause crowns to fail.

Other issues can impact your dental crowns too such as grinding your teeth which can cause crowns to break. A tooth with a crown needs to be looked after the same as a tooth without a crown.
