FULL VENEERS (CROWNS)/BRIDGES
Full veneers, crowns, and bridges are common restorative and cosmetic dental treatments, each designed to improve both function and aesthetics. They’re recommended for those who are seeking for a natural, long-lasting smile improvement. At Uncali Dental Clinic, we offer Zirconium, Emax, and Metal-fused porcelain crowns tailored to each patient’s dental health condition and specific needs.
Benefits
- Aesthetic Improvement: Full veneers offer a bright, symmetrical, and uniform smile, concealing stains, gaps, or chips. Each crown is designed to match the colour, size, and shape of your natural teeth, creating a seamless look.
- Strength & Durability: Made from strong materials like porcelain or zirconia, crowns are durable and can withstand normal biting and chewing forces.
- Protection: Crowns cover and protect weakened teeth, helping prevent further damage.
Treatment Process
Treatment time: 6-7 days
- Consultation and Planning: The dentist examines your teeth, takes X-rays, and discusses your goals to determine if crowns are suitable.
- Tooth Preparation: Commonly, a portion of the tooth’s outer surface is shaved to make room for the crown. This process ensures that the final restoration will fit comfortably and look natural.
- Impressions and Temporary Crowns: Impressions are taken to create a custom-fit crown. Meanwhile, temporary crowns protect the prepared teeth.
- Custom Fabrication: Dental labs create the crowns based on the impressions. This can take a few days of week ( 7 days).
- Fitting and Bonding: Once ready, the crowns are fitted to ensure proper alignment, appearance, and bite. If they fit perfectly, the dentist bonds them permanently with a special adhesive.
Aftercare Tips
- Oral Hygiene: Regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing help maintain the crowns and prevent decay in surrounding teeth.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Biting into hard foods (like ice, nuts, or candies) can chip or dislodge the crowns, so it’s best to avoid them.
- Routine Check-ups: Regular dental visits help ensure that your crowns remain in good condition.
- Wear a Mouthguard: If you grind your teeth at night, wearing a mouthguard will protect the veneers from unnecessary wear.
With proper care, full veneers or crowns can last 10-20 years or longer, making them a reliable and attractive option for smile enhancement. Contact us to learn which crowns are right for you – simply fill out the form or click the chat button to get started!
