Fran really wanted a fresh, youthful look but her natural teeth were worn down, crowded, and discoloured with age. 

Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive determined a final treatment of a complete smile makeover: hand-crafted dental crowns on all teeth for a show-stopping new smile.

Peter

Peter’s old dental bridge caused him considerable discomfort. The bridge was ill-fitting and his top front teeth didn’t match the others. Many of his natural teeth were also worn down from grinding. 

Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive determined a final treatment of dental implants to replace the old bridge, as well as new dental crowns and porcelain veneers on the adjacent front teeth.

Emma

Emma was unhappy with her uneven smile. A previous root canal treatment had left one of her front teeth discoloured, while the other had a mismatched veneer. 

Dr Dunn’s Smile Test Drive determined a final treatment of a new dental crown on the root-treated tooth, a porcelain veneer replacement and four new porcelain veneers on the adjacent teeth.

Personal Consultation

Using the latest 3D imaging technology, Dr Dunn will evaluate your teeth and gums to determine if dental crowns are best for you. If possible, you’ll also review an on-screen mock-up of what your beautiful new smile will look like. Following your consultation, you’ll receive your treatment plan, including the cost and a timeline.

Frequently asked questions

What are dental crowns?

A dental crown can be a wonderful restorative option that can last several years. Essentially, it’s a cap that fits over the entire damaged or worn-down tooth. The benefit of a dental crown is that it helps restore the function and appearance of the tooth. Quality dental crowns look very natural and with the right care, they offer a lasting solution. 

There are many reasons why your dentist may recommend a dental crown. This includes:

  • To strengthen and protect a weak or cracked tooth
  • Restore a damaged or worn-down tooth
  • To support a dental bridge
  • To cover a dental implant
  • As part of root canal treatment

What is the dental crown process?

Typically, two appointments are needed when getting a dental crown. Following your initial consultation, your dental crown treatment with Dr Dunn could look something like this.

First appointment

Dr Dunn prepares your tooth by removing a conservative amount of tooth structure. Impressions of your tooth are taken and will be used to craft a beautiful crown. In the meantime, a temporary crown is placed over the tooth to protect it until your next appointment

Second appointment

2-3 weeks later, Dr Dunn will invite you back for your dental crown to be placed. The crown itself will carefully match the shape and colour shade of your other teeth — ensuring exceptional results. 

Expect to return to work or your normal activities that same day.

What is the difference between dental crowns and dental veneers?

A dental crown is a porcelain cap fitted over your natural tooth. It provides strength when much of the natural tooth has been lost. For example, due to grinding, heavy damage or decay, or a root canal. Part of the outer layer of the tooth does need to be removed to secure a dental crown. However, your dental crown will be strong and will look and function just like a natural tooth.

A porcelain veneer is a wafer thin, yet strong porcelain shell that’s placed over your natural tooth. Although perfectly translucent for a natural-looking smile, a veneer is not as strong as a dental crown. Yet, it does require less removal of your natural tooth.

Not everyone is suitable for porcelain veneers, nor are they always the best treatment option. For example, a porcelain veneer is too thin to disguise tooth discolouration after a root canal. Dental crowns are ideal when your natural tooth is too damaged to support a veneer, or when you’re looking for a big change to your natural tooth shape.

In some cases, a mix of dental crowns and porcelain veneers may be recommended for the best results. Dr Dunn will discuss your needs during your initial consultation and determine the perfect treatment plan for you.

How long do dental crowns last?

Dental crowns can be made from ceramic, porcelain, zirconia, gold, or a combination of porcelain and metal. Here at Macquarie Street Dental, we use high-quality porcelain crowns for their strength and durability. With proper care, porcelain dental crowns can last 10+ years.

The average lifespan of a dental bridge is 10+ years as well. With regular dental check-ups and optimum at-home maintenance, you can enjoy a stunning smile for many years.
