Dental Crowns are custom-made caps that are used to restore and strengthen a weak or broken down tooth. They can be used to strengthen cracked teeth or for aesthetic reasons to improve your smile by changing the shape and colour of your teeth. Dental Crowns can be made out of a variety of different materials including gold and most commonly porcelain. Porcelain is used due to its high strength and natural aesthetic colour and appearance.
Crowns are used to replace the outermost component of a tooth in order to restore its original function and provide a natural look. Crowns are the treatment of choice when dental disease has destroyed the majority of the original tooth, when a traumatic incident has caused considerable damage, or when serious enamel erosion or wear has occurred.
Using computer-assisted design technology, we can produce natural and aesthetically pleasing crowns in-house at Naenae Dental Clinic. This means that the majority of our crowns are finished in a single session and require only one dental appointment. To provide the finest quality outcomes for our patients, we do not collaborate with any outside dental laboratories.
Inlays and on lays are ceramic alternatives to traditional fillings that are typically utilised in the rear teeth. They are used to restore teeth that are decaying or fractured but not severely damaged enough to require a crown. When there is too much damage or decay in the tooth structure to be safely and consistently repaired with a filling, inlays and on lays are employed. Aside from enhancing the aesthetics of a tooth, inlays and on lays are extremely durable since they are constructed of robust, hard-wearing porcelain materials and, unlike standard fillings, may help strengthen teeth. As a result, they assist to extend tooth life and reduce the need for more dental treatment in the future.
