Dental Crowns
Dental Crown Procedure For Missing & Damaged Teeth
Missing and damaged teeth are not a pretty sight, nor do they contribute to proper mastication or articulation. Such dental issues can significantly impact our self-confidence, which in turn can affect our daily accomplishments.
At Woden Dental Centre, the best dental clinic in Canberra, we offer dental crowns and bridges as an effective cosmetic fix for this issue. They provide a permanent restoration that greatly enhances the aesthetics and functionality of your teeth.
A dental crown is a custom-made covering placed over the tooth for either cosmetic or protective purposes. It can improve the look, size, and shape of a tooth and help make it stronger. Crowns are commonly used for cavities that are too large to fill, to improve cracked or worn teeth, to conceal badly shaped or discoloured teeth, or after root canal treatment.

Essential Aftercare Tips for Dental Crown Procedure
Your dental crowns require proper care and maintenance to ensure they remain strong, look great, and last for years to come:
- Brush and floss twice daily to prevent plaque accumulation.
- Avoid the crown area while brushing to prevent any damage to the gums.
- Avoid eating hard-boiled candy or ice cubes to prevent loosening or damaging the crown.
- Wear a nightguard to protect your crown from wear and tear in case you have Bruxism.
- Although it is normal to experience sensitivity post-procedure, consult your dentist if it worsens or persists despite medication.
- Consult your dentist twice a year to check on your crown’s condition and overall oral health.
