Traditional Restorative Dentistry

If you or your patient prefer a more traditional approach we offer the following restorative solutions:

Dental Crowns

If your patient has a tooth that has been chipped, broken, weakened by tooth decay or damaged by tooth-grinding, we can restore the tooth using a dental crown.

Patients referred to CrownWood Dental for a dental crown will require 2 visits. The first step involves examining and preparing the tooth, this involves the clearing of any debris or decay. Next, impressions of the teeth are made, which serve as a model from which the crown will be made by a dental lab, a temporary crown will be provided until the new crown is ready to be fitted at the second visit.

Dental crowns can be made from many different materials such as stainless steel, all metal (such as Gold or another alloy), porcelain-fused-to-metal, all resin or all ceramic, depending on the requirements of your patient.

Dental Bridges

If your patient has a missing tooth and a dental implant is not suitable we can restore the tooth using a dental bridge.

Preparing a tooth for a bridge usually requires two visits. The first step involves re-contouring the abutment teeth by removing a portion of enamel to allow room for a crown to be placed over them. Next, impressions of the teeth are made, which serve as a model from which the bridge, pontic, and crowns will be made by a dental lab. We make a temporary bridge to wear to protect the exposed teeth and gums while the bridge is being made.

During the second visit, the temporary bridge will be removed and the new porcelain or metal bridge will be checked and adjusted to achieve a proper fit.

Dental bridges can be made from many different materials such as gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials, depending on the requirements of your patient.

Dental Veneers

If your patient has stained, chipped or damaged teeth, veneers can be used to restore a natural appearance with minimum tooth adjustment.

Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics (braces) are not suitable. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others.

Porcelain veneers require very little preparation and can improve the colour, shape and position of your teeth.
