Durable Dental Crowns in Maribyrnong

It can happen to anyone — through severe decay or an accidental bump, your teeth are susceptible to being damaged, even to the point of having very little of them left showing. Stopping short of potentially painful extractions and implanting, you can save the remaining gum-embedded root of your tooth with a dental crown in Maribyrnong.

There is no need for extraction when a tooth is damaged to the point of not being able to chew or is likely to decay further but is still relatively healthy inside the gum. With even a very small amount of tooth visible above the gum line, a dental crown can restore the tooth back to its original form and/or be aligned with neighbouring teeth.

At Finer Smiles® Laser Dentistry, we'll cement a small "post" down into the root of a tooth. Then a core is bonded to the post to create an even base on which we'll mount the crown. This core can be shaped to organically match the shape of your natural tooth, so you will not feel the difference between the crown and the rest of your teeth.

Your Finer Smiles® Laser Dentistry dentist will use either just a crown or an implant with a crown, depending on the severity of what needs to be fixed. An implant is used when the entire tooth, including the root, needs to be replaced. A crown is used to restore a tooth that has its remaining root still in the gum, giving you your smile back.
