Crowns

What is a Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-like cap placed over a tooth to restore its original shape, size, and appearance. Crowns are useful for restoring a broken tooth as well as improving the appearance of teeth in cases such as stained or misaligned teeth.

When Do You Need to Use a Crown?

There are several scenarios when your dentist may recommend that you have a crown fitted. Some of these include:

To protect a tooth that is likely to break due to weakness or injury.
To restore a tooth that has been fractured or chipped.
To replace a large filling, especially when there is little tooth structure remaining.
To hold a dental bridge in the correct position.

Treatment Method

In the first appointment, we use iTero scanner to take scans (digital impressions) and send it to the lab so that we can have a crown designed and built. Then, a temporary crown is placed on the tooth to protect it from further damage. We have different methods of doing this because every tooth is unique.

At the second appointment (approximately two weeks later), your dentist will remove the temporary crown or bridge. Then, fit and cement the permanent one onto your prepared tooth.

Thank you to the awesome staff at Geelong Dental group! I have hated going to the dentist since I was a kid and have gone to numerous other dentists and for the first time in a long time have actually wanted to go back! Very reassuring and very sympathetic from the receptionist to the chair! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I highly recommend Wilson the dentist at GDG. I hadn't been to a dentist for 10 years because of past bad experiences. Wilson and the girls made me feel comfortable and confident the minute I walked in for surgery. He gave me different options and full costings on the spot so I could compare. The quote was affordable and the work was excellent. Thank, Wilson and girls and Paul for fixing my embarrassing teeth, can't stop smiling.

Can highly recommend Wilson and his amazing team, so friendly and very professional. Very happy with the work I have had done. Was terrified to have dental work done but Wilson is so gentle, completely changed my view of visiting the dentist. I had to have extensive work done and the price was very competitive. Thank you all, will always recommend to my friends.

Amazing treatment and service by Wilson and his gang. Not only did Wilson give up his Easter Monday for my urgent root canal he now has made me love visiting the dentist for the first time in my life. I cannot recommend this practice enough. Thank you, team!
