Dental Crowns: Restore and Strengthen Your Smile

At Dunshaughlin Dental Centre, we provide high-quality dental crowns designed to restore the function and aesthetics of your smile. Whether you need to repair a damaged tooth, enhance the appearance of your smile, or protect a weakened tooth, our expertly crafted crowns offer a durable and natural-looking solution.

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are an excellent solution for:

• Protecting a weakened or cracked tooth
• Restoring a tooth after a root canal
• Replacing a large filling when there isn’t enough natural tooth remaining
• Covering discoloured or misshapen teeth
• Securing a dental bridge in place

Our crowns are crafted using advanced materials, such as ceramic or porcelain, to ensure they look and feel like natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Choosing a dental crown comes with many advantages, including:

• Enhanced Strength: Crowns provide long-lasting protection for damaged or weak teeth.
• Natural Appearance: Designed to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, crowns blend seamlessly with your smile.
• Improved Functionality: A crown restores your tooth’s full function, allowing you to eat and speak confidently.
• Durable and Reliable: With proper care, crowns can last for many years.

The Crown Procedure: What to Expect

Getting a dental crown typically involves two appointments:

• Preparation and Impressions: During the first visit, we’ll prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damage and reshaping it to fit the crown. An impression of the tooth is then taken to create your custom crown. While your permanent crown is made, we’ll fit you with a temporary crown to protect your tooth.
• Fitting the Crown: You’ll return for your second appointment once your custom crown is ready. We’ll carefully place and secure the crown, ensuring a precise fit and comfortable bite. The result is a substantial, natural-looking restoration.

Caring for Your Crown

To keep your crown in excellent condition, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene and visit us for regular check-ups. Here are a few tips:

• Brush and floss daily to prevent plaque build-up around the crown.
• Avoid chewing on complex objects like ice or pens, which can damage the crown.
• Use a nightguard if you grind your teeth to protect your crown from excessive wear.
