Woman in sun | Avondale NZ DentistComprehensive dentistry includes repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing teeth so that patients can eat and smile with confidence. Two restorative treatments we offer are dental crowns and dental bridges. While the procedure for crown and bridge restorations are similar, they serve two different purposes.

Dental Crowns to Repair and Protect Teeth

Dental decay and damage can destabilise a tooth and put it at risk. When possible, we strive to repair natural teeth, as it is typically the most affordable and least complicated way to protect oral health.

Dental crowns offer a solution after damage from advanced decay or fractures or to rebuild worn teeth. Unlike dental fillings, crowns cover the entire structure of the tooth and protect it from the forces caused by chewing. 

The appropriate material for the dental crown depends on the patient’s bite and the location of the crown. Many patients prefer tooth-coloured restorations for front teeth since they are visible when you smile. In some cases, porcelain and metal blends or full gold crowns will offer greater longevity on molars.

Benefits of CEREC Same-Day Dental Crowns

Frequently Asked Questions

Woman | One Day Crowns Avoldale Dental technology advances quickly. One of the modern services we introduced to Avondale Dental Centre is CEREC same-day dental crowns. 

How CEREC Crowns are Created

CEREC uses computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) through the software we use and our in-house milling device. We take a digital impression of the tooth or teeth and upload the data to our software to design your restoration. From this data, our milling device fabricates your dental restoration out of durable ceramic.

Once the proper size and shape of the dental crown is determined, Dr Najar, Dr Crum or Dr Nekrutenk will apply the appropriate colour and shading to match adjacent teeth.

CEREC crowns offer quality and convenience, eliminating the need to wait for a lab-fabricated dental crown and a temporary restoration.

In some cases, however, we may recommend a lab-created crown. In these cases, we use a reputable local dental lab with skilled technicians for the finest results. We discuss all options with our patients and the benefits of each. The treatment path we take depends on your goals for the health and appearance of your smile.

CEREC Dental Crowns in Avondale

We welcome you to contact Avondale Dental Centre to arrange your next dental appointment, where you will be treated with honest, conservative dentistry tailored just for you.

Dental crowns in Auckland are tooth-shaped covers that your dentist cements over a treated tooth. Treating the tooth means removing old filling material or jagged bits for a clean fit. This is a painless process and done with a gentle hand!

The crown is coloured and shaped to specification so that it will match your neighbouring teeth.

We use crowns for the following:

  • After a root canal or trauma, your tooth may be unstable and at risk for fracture. A dental crown supports the tooth to prevent loss.
  • If you have a discoloured or cosmetically flawed tooth, we can use a dental crown to hide these issues.
  • For patients getting single dental implants, we use a dental crown to cap that implant after healing.
  • Dental crowns also work with a dental bridge to restore teeth by fixing them to neighbouring teeth.

Additionally, you care for your dental crowns as you do your natural teeth. This makes them the ideal restoration.

In our Avondale dental clinic, we are happy to help patients restore their smiles with dental crowns.

We Encourage You to Contact Your Avondale Dentist for More Information

Dental crowns can save your smile and transform its appearance. To learn more or arrange your consultation, we welcome your call.

Dental crowns may be part of your dental benefit under specific plans. However, for cosmetic purposes, there may be a fee. Your dentist will let you know the cost after your evaluation. The reason is that the price can vary based on the level of difficulty, crown type, and more.

How Does The Dental Crown Process Work?

We use dental crowns widely across dentistry. For example, a dental crown restores tooth stability if your tooth is weak following infection or trauma. A dental crown canolder couple hugging | dental crowns auckland also cover tooth flaws in cosmetic dentistry. And in tooth replacement, dental crowns cap dental implant posts (replacement roots) and anchor bridge teeth to supporting teeth to complete your smile.

And dental crowns require minimal care. As with natural teeth, brush and floss regularly and visit your Auckland dentist for exams and teeth cleans. You should also avoid biting on ice or sticky foods like taffy.

Replacing a Missing Tooth with a Dental Bridge at Avondale Dental Centre

A bridge requires similar steps to complete but will anchor an artificial tooth in place to complete the smile. Like crowns, we design dental bridges to complement your appearance with proper shading.

Dental bridges are a fixed option, meaning they will not move or shift as they are permanently cemented in place. Many patients find this preferable to a partial denture for the replacement of one or two teeth.

We will go over the special care necessary to keep your bridge and the surrounding gum tissue clean at your visit.
