Dental Crown in Pakenham

A dental crown is a reliable way to restore and protect a tooth that has been weakened by damage or decay. At Cardinia Dental, we provide dental crowns in Pakenham to help strengthen teeth, restore function and improve appearance.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A crown is a form of dental restoration, also known as a 'tooth cap' or 'dental crown', they are cemented in place to fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies above the gum-line.

When is a dental crown needed?

A dental crown in Pakenham may be recommended if you have:

• A cracked or fractured tooth
• A broken or heavily worn tooth
• A large filling with little natural tooth remaining
• A tooth weakened after root canal treatment
• A dental implant requiring a crown
• A dental bridge that needs support

Our Pakenham dentist will assess your tooth and explain whether a crown is the most suitable option.

Preparing a tooth for a crown

Before placing a dental crown, the tooth must have enough structure to support it. At our dental clinic in Pakenham, we carefully prepare the tooth to create the ideal shape for crown placement.

In some cases:

• A build up may be required to strengthen the tooth
• A dental implant may be used to support a crown when a tooth is missing
• Crowns may be used to anchor a dental bridge if multiple teeth are missing

Our dentist will discuss the best approach based on your individual needs.
