What is a Crown?

A Dental Crown is a cap that fits around your tooth giving it both protection and strength. When a Crown is placed on a tooth, it not only provides support for weaker teeth but also mask flaws such as discolorations or chippings.

Our high-quality Crowns are custom made for you. So you can be sure that it till fit seamlessly within your natural teeth.

Are you unsure as to whether you will need a Crown? As a general rule of thumb, we say that teeth with less than 40% natural tooth structure remaining may require a Crown. And the same goes for teeth with extensive cracks which may lead to a fracture in the future.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are one of the methods used to replace missing teeth. A common Dental Implant is made up of 3 main components. The first is a screw that is placed inside the bone. The second is a connector that will connect the screw to the outside tooth. And the third is the Crown or tooth that sits on top of the connector.

In the case of having a tooth removed or naturally missing teeth. It is important to consider the option of Dental Implants. There are many negative consequences of missing teeth such as:

  • Opposing teeth begin to over erupt
  • Adjacent teeth begin to tilt and fall sideways
  • Bone within the mouth begins to shrink away due to lack of stimulation
  • Loss of bone can change the shape of your face and the look of your smile
  • Change of facial structure can cause jaw joint problems
  • And of course the aesthetic issues that accompany missing teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants.

  • Dental Implants are a fixed solution. This means that you do not need to take it in or out one it has been correctly placed.
  • Placement of an implant allows for the preservation of bone and the maintenance of jaw and face structure.
  • Adjacent teeth do not over erupt or drift into incorrect positions

One of the benefits of Dental Implants compared to a Bridge is that it is an individual tooth. So if problems occur, it can be dealt with separately without causing damage or disruption to the adjacent teeth. On the other hand, in the case of a bridge the missing tooth is added by cementing the bridge onto the two adjacent teeth. This also involves cutting the adjacent teeth and problems with the bridge would involve not only the missing tooth but also the two adjacent teeth.

Dental Implants are suitable for most people of most ages. It is important to remember that you need to have enough bone in the region of implant for it to stay secure and strong. If there isn’t enough bone in the region there are options of grafting bone either on the day of the surgery or 3 months prior to implant placement.

Dental Implants are designed to last a life time however a large aspect of their longevity depends on the quality of home care, patients social habits e.g smoking routine check ups and a lack of delay in treatment time.
