Zirconia Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns in Katoomba have a variety of practical uses in dentistry. And our dentists implement them often to help restore smiles and so much more! Dental crowns even play a role in tooth replacement.

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped covers that fit over a tooth that has been prepared or treated by your dentist. Crowns are customised to blend naturally with your untreated teeth.

Tooth Crowns to Support a Weak Tooth

Dental crowns restore function to a weak, fractured, or root-canal-treated tooth. The crown helps prevent further damage by creating a safety zone between your bite force and the tooth beneath.

Tooth Crowns to Hide Cosmetic Imperfections

A dental crown can conceal tooth flaws like discolouration, a worn tooth, or unsightly chips in cosmetic dentistry.

Role of Tooth Crowns in Tooth Replacement

A dental crown connects a dental bridge (prosthetic teeth) to healthy teeth. Additionally, it caps single dental implants to restore your tooth above the gum.

Patients come to us from many locations, including areas of the Blue Mountains Leura and Yosemite. 

We have many options for restorative dentistry in Katoomba, NSW. Your dentist will gauge the severity of your chip or tooth fracture and make the best determination on ways to restore it.

For minor chips, your dentist may talk to you about dental bonding. This is a fast and easy way to conceal the chip without invasive treatment. Bonding is made from tooth-coloured filling material, which we spread across the chip. Your dentist then shapes it to blend in and sets it with a special light.

For more significant tooth cracks and fractures, your dentist may recommend a dental crown. The crown is a tooth-shaped cap cemented over the damaged tooth. It fits to the gumline and restores your bite force while protecting the tooth underneath. Your dental crown is custom crafted to look like your untreated teeth, down to the colour!

If you have a severe break below the gum line, we typically recommend a complete extraction followed by tooth replacement. We offer various tooth replacements, including dental implants.

Our patients reside in multiple locations, including Katoomba, the Blue Mountains, Leura, and Yosemite.

Your Katoomba dentist recommends dental crowns for various reasons, including the following:

• Deep tooth decay that is too advanced for a tooth-coloured filling
• A tooth treated for root canal infection that is no longer stable
• A tooth that has been damaged or broken

Dental crowns also connect bridge teeth to biological teeth, and they top dental implant posts. Some patients also choose tooth crowns to hide smile flaws like tooth discolouration, chips, and shape issues.

When Your Dentist Recommends a Dental Crown in Katoomba

Dental crowns restore stability to a tooth at risk for loss or breakage. If your dentist suggests a tooth crown to treat a cavity, it is because too much of the tooth structure was lost to decay, and a filling will not restore that structure.

Tooth crowns create a safe space between the damaged tooth and your bite force. They also look identical to uncrowned teeth.

Would You Like to Book a Consultation?

If you have a broken or damaged tooth and are considering restoring it, we support this idea! Without restoration, the tooth will always be at risk for loss. We urge you to call us today to arrange a consultation with the dentist or if you have questions.

Our dental team proudly serves all neighbourhoods, including Katoomba, Blue Mountains, Leura, and Wentworth Falls.

Zirconia is a popular restoration and prosthetic material known for its durability. Since bridges and crowns are used to chew meals, crafting them with strong materials only makes sense.

Our zirconia crowns and bridges are crafted from a single chunk of quality crystal, which makes them far stronger than traditional porcelain. Additionally, crystal means a natural-looking finish.

About Crowns and Bridges in Katoomba

Crowns work independently to restore stability to damaged teeth or conceal imperfections, but they also play a role in tooth replacement.

If you have a damaged or weak tooth, capping it with a custom crown restores stability. The crown can conceal and elongate if you have a cracked, short or mishappen tooth.

A dental crown caps a dental implant post or connects bridgework to healthy teeth in tooth replacement.

A dental bridge is a way to replace one or two missing teeth in succession. It is a prosthetic of custom artificial teeth situated between dental crowns. We cap healthy teeth, allowing the bridge to fill your smile. Alternatively, we can use a dental implant to secure your dental bridge. This method is called an implant-supported bridge in Katoomba.
