Dental Crowns

Overview

Enhance Your Smile with Dental Crowns

Comprehensive Evaluation

Before recommending Dental Crowns, our skilled dentists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth and oral health. We will assess the condition of the affected tooth, consider your dental history, and determine if Dental Crowns are the most suitable treatment option for your specific needs.

Customised Crown Design

Each Dental Crown is custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in terms of color, shape, and size. Our dental professionals will take precise impressions of your teeth, ensuring that your crown fits perfectly and harmonises with your existing smile.

Tooth Preparation

To accommodate the Dental Crown, a small amount of enamel will be removed from the tooth receiving the crown. This allows for a proper fit and ensures that the crown does not protrude or interfere with your bite. We strive to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible during this process.

Temporary Crowns

While your permanent Dental Crown is being fabricated in a dental laboratory, we will provide you with a temporary crown to protect your prepared tooth. This temporary crown will also give you an opportunity to preview the potential outcome and provide any necessary feedback before the final crown is placed.

Precise Crown Placement

Once your custom Dental Crown is ready, our dental professionals will ensure its precise placement. We will carefully check the fit, appearance, and bite alignment of the crown before permanently bonding it to your tooth. Our goal is to create a comfortable and functional bite while enhancing the natural beauty of your smile.

Long-Lasting Results

Dental Crowns are known for their durability and longevity. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, your Dental Crown can last for many years, providing you with a strong and aesthetically pleasing solution for your damaged tooth.

Maintenance and Oral Hygiene

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential to ensure the longevity and health of your Dental Crown. Our team of private dentists in Dumfries will provide you with instructions on how to care for your crown, including proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits. By following these guidelines, you can maintain optimal oral health and prolong the life of your crown.
