What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a small cap that fits over an existing tooth. A dental crown is typically used when a natural tooth is discoloured, severely decayed, cracked or broken. The crown completely covers the tooth, strengthening the tooth and enabling you to avoid an extraction.
Crowns are the strongest possible solution for damaged and/or weak teeth and if installed correctly should provide you with long lasting results.
At Maxcare Otahuhu Dental we offer porcelain crowns. They are made to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth so, in time, you will forget it is there.
The Dental Crown Procedure: What to expect?
Fitting a Dental Crown will require a couple of visits to Maxcare Otahuhu Dental.
- Firstly, the tooth receiving the crown must be reshaped. Once shaped, a mould of your tooth is taken so that your crown can be fabricated in a dental laboratory. in the meantime, you will receive a temporary crown so you can still have a full smile.
- At your second appointment, your temporary crown is removed and the permanent replacement is checked for comfort and fit, before being bonded with specially developed dental cement. Your new permanent crown will look, feel and function just like your natural teeth.
Frequently asked Questions about Dental Crowns.
What is a dental crown, and when do you need one?
A dental crown is a cap that fits over an existing tooth to restore function and appearance when the tooth is badly decayed, cracked, broken, or heavily worn.
How much does a tooth crown cost in NZ?
Tooth crown pricing in New Zealand varies by tooth and complexity, so we confirm the cost after we examine the tooth and plan the treatment.
Do you offer dental crowns in Ōtāhuhu and wider Auckland?
Yes, we provide dental crowns in Auckland, including at our Ōtāhuhu clinic, and you can also book with our Massey West clinic.
Do you offer same-day crowns (and are they available at your clinic)?
No, our crown process normally needs at least two visits because we take a mould and your crown is made in a dental laboratory.
How long does crown treatment take (appointments and timeline)?
Crown treatment usually takes two appointments over a short timeframe, because we prepare the tooth first, fit a temporary crown, and then cement the final crown at the next visit.
What’s the difference between a crown and a filling?
A crown covers the whole tooth, while a filling repairs a cavity by filling the damaged area after we remove the decay.
What materials are crowns made from, and which is best?
We provide all-porcelain crowns, and we match the shape and colour to blend with your natural teeth.
Does a crown procedure hurt?
No, we use a local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable, although a mild toothache or sensitivity can happen afterwards.
