Dental Crowns in Point Cook
For patients who are missing teeth, have had a prior root canal, or simply want to correct a chipped or cracked tooth’s appearance, a dental crown from our Sanctuary Lakes Family Dental dental team may be an ideal solution for you.
Dental crowns are crafted to match your smile perfectly in colour, tooth shape, and bite. They’ll also look, feel and function exactly like your real teeth.
What Are They?
Crowns, or “caps” as some call them, are custom-made covers for teeth that have had a root canal (leaving very little tooth structure), cracked or weakened teeth, or teeth that are so decayed that a regular filling isn’t sufficient.
Generally, we use a porcelain material because it blends best with your other teeth.
What to Expect
It typically takes two appointments to complete the process.
At the first appointment, we prepare the tooth so the crown is able to fit over it snuggly. Next, we mould an impression of the tooth and then send the moulds to the lab to fabricate the restoration.
At the second visit, we cement the permanent cap and ensure that it feels comfortable and natural and that your bite is correct. That’s it!
How Long Do They Last?
This type of restoration should last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene and routine dental examinations and cleanings.
How Much Do They Cost?
It’s difficult to say until we see you in the practice to determine the best course of care, which is unique for each person. Once determined, we’ll present you with any financial obligation so there are never any surprises. We work with many private health funds to make getting the care you need affordable.
