If you want to bring back your confident smile and replace those damaged or missing teeth, we can place the dental crowns needed and ensure the results will look and feel natural. We will match the teeth’s original size, shape and overall appearance as well as restore the teeth’s original strength.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
To achieve those results, here at Dental Braces Ballan
Here at Ballan Family Dental we use a modern approach in straightening teeth. Instead of metal braces, we use Invisalign which is a series of clear aligners. You can easily remove these when it’s time to eat or brush your teeth. Ballan we’ll prepare custom-made dental crowns that exactly match your requirements. Whether it’s for fixing cracked teeth or part of a root canal treatment, the end result will look natural and feel comfortable.
What are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown helps restore a tooth’s original appearance, function and durability. It’s effective in treating chipped, broken, decayed and weakened teeth. This is done by placing a crown or cap that will encapsulate the damaged tooth’s surface. Usually made of ceramic or porcelain, the cap will help restore the tooth’s original aesthetics and strength.
The treatment usually requires two to three sessions because the damaged tooth will have to be filed down and prepared and the crown needs to be custom-made by a dental lab. For complex or multiple crowns, it’s the same process but it will take more visits.
Dental Bridges
To replace one or more missing teeth, we will make and fit a custom dental bridge for you. This will perfectly fill the gap as well as blend in with your natural teeth. This is done by placing one or more false teeth made of porcelain into the gap, which will be held securely by anchoring crowns. Aside from restoring your smile, this will also help evenly distribute the bite pressure and make chewing feel more comfortable.
Consultation Process
In your first visit we will examine your teeth and come up with an optimal treatment plan for you. We will clearly explain the process as well as provide you with other options. This is for you to know completely what it will take to have a dental crown or bridge as well as the expected results.
If having a crown or a bridge is the only or optimal solution, we will then take an accurate image and impression of your teeth. This will be sent to our dental lab where preparation of the crown or bridge takes place. Once it’s ready, we will fit them into your teeth and give you full care instructions. We’ll also schedule a follow-up appointment to look for any problems such as discomfort.
