Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made small cap that is placed over your tooth to cover chips, cracks, damage, and other dental issues. The customised crown resembles your natural teeth in shape, colour, and texture. It not only covers dental worries but also provides reinforcement and protection to your tooth and surrounding teeth.

At High Street Dental we provide ceramic and zirconia dental crowns with outstanding results using CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology. This modern technology allows our dentists to design, mill and place your crown in a single visit making it possible to walk out of the door the same day with your beautiful new smile.

We also use the latest in 3D digital scans to ensure your crown has a custom-fit with the highest precision, eliminating the need for traditional messy impressions.

Why would I need a crown?

Dental crowns are recommended following root canal treatment, restoring a fractured tooth or after an old filling is replaced where there is not much of the original tooth remaining.

Your dental crown will serve several purposes:

> Strengthen an existing tooth.
> Provide structural support to surrounding teeth.
> Improve/enhance your visual appearance.
> Assist with chewing, which is important for digestion.

How do I look after my dental crown?

You should care for your dental crown just as you would your natural teeth. This includes brushing gently but thoroughly twice a day and flossing around the crown to remove any trapped food particles. Regular dental check-ups are also essential—during these visits, we’ll examine the crown closely to ensure it remains in excellent condition.

How long should my crown last?

While no dental crown can last forever, with proper care and maintenance your crown should last many years. Regular dental check-ups with your High Street Dental dentist will help to extend the life of your crown as they allow us to catch and address any issues early on. Our team of oral health experts is here to guide you through every step of the process, so you’ll always know what to expect. Have questions? Call us today on (03) 9852 1717.
