What to know: 6 facts about dental crowns


Is it time you received top quality dental crowns? It might well be, especially given that over time our teeth weaken and become increasingly vulnerable to cracks, decay, discolouration and other complications. If you’re worried about your smile, and feel that it doesn’t contain the same glow as it once did, then this treatment could perhaps restore that former shine.

Before you receive the best dental crowns Melbourne has available, we thought we would share with you some interesting facts about this valuable treatment and why they are such a versatile way to fix your smile:

  1. They can protect your damaged teeth

This vital solution is made from gold, porcelain or porcelain fused to metal, and works to reverse tooth damage by producing a protective barrier around the affected tooth/teeth. They maintain a natural feel and look when chosen with a porcelain finish. These finishes can more naturally match your tooth’s shade and will allow it to blend in as if it were your normal teeth.

  1. They can be paired with implants

Implants are used to stabilise dentures to strengthen oral structure. What’s more, they are also used to replace missing teeth, and just like natural teeth they can repair implants, which will further protect and strengthen the teeth. As there is a heightened layer of protection, implants can be joined with crowns to produce an extra level of protection.

  1. They don’t ever stain

As you will want to maintain a natural feel and look, you might want to go with a porcelain-finished solution as this is the shade that can best match your pre-existing teeth and won’t stain. Porcelain-finished solutions also help your teeth appear like one of your natural teeth whilst blending in together. If you think it is perfect for you then you will be thrilled to know that they maintain their integrity without staining, too.

  1. Metal-based solutions can take on a greyish tint

It is important to know that metal-based solutions can take on a greyish tint. Your professional dentist should provide a variety of different options from which you can choose which is best for you. As these options contain different benefits to one another, it is always best to consult with your dentist to be sure you choose the style that is most suitable for you.

  1. They don’t actually last forever

Whilst the highest quality dental crowns Melbourne has available will last for 10-15 years, you simply can’t expect them to last forever. You should provide them with the optimal possible care, including regular brushing and flossing, and you will expect to receive a lot of use out of them. However, there may still come a time that you will have to have them replaced.

  1. They are not your only option

If your professional dentist finds that one of your teeth is weakened, decayed, cracked or experiencing a different complication, you should discuss with them to find the very best treatment for your needs. This is because you may have other awesome treatment methods at your disposal. A top quality dentist will have a raft of treatments, with everything from smile design, smile makeover and invisalign through to holistic dentistry on offer, so it’s important to chat with them and find the treatment that is perfect for you.

These are some interesting facts about the best quality dental crowns Melbourne has available. And, if you think this treatment is right for you, be sure to consult with your dentist and they will set you up with a treatment program!
