Whatever the reason for a patient’s visit, we want them to feel at home when they visit Smile Hub Dental Clinic.
At our Dublin dental clinic, we provide dental crowns as a surgery to reinforce or enhance the appearance of damaged teeth. They serve as a cap on top of an existing tooth and are an artificial restoration that are placed over it after it has been carefully filed down.They have a wide range of applications. For instance, to protect a tooth after a root canal, to hold a dental bridge in place, to prevent a tooth that is weak or discoloured from breaking, to replace a huge dental filling when not enough tooth is left.
Treatment for dental crowns at Smile Hub Dental Clinic
There are numerous materials that can be utilised to create dental crowns, but the most popular ones are ceramic, porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal. Depending on the requirement for the crown and the tooth's location, a different material may be chosen for your crown. When you visit Smile Hub for dental crown treatment, this might be decided.We will take note of the colour of the teeth on each side of the one where the crown will be placed during the preparation stage and make sure the colour of the bespoke crown, we produce matches those so the finished product looks natural.
The dental crown treatment typically takes two visits to our clinic to complete. We will prepare your tooth for the crown, take moulds for the crown, and fit a temporary crown during the initial appointment. The temporary crown will be taken off and the permanent one put in at the second appointment.
It won't be permanently put in place until you say you're satisfied with the colour, shape, and fit of the permanent crown. Using a specialised, long-lasting dental glue, it will be secured in place. It should last for many years with proper care, with a typical lifespan of 5 to 15 years.
You won't experience any pain because a local anaesthetic will be applied during the process. It is possible to experience some discomfort, however this should be limited to what you experience when getting a filling fitted.
