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

1. 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.
2. Strength & Durability: Made from strong materials like porcelain or zirconia, crowns are durable and can withstand normal biting and chewing forces.
3. Protection: Crowns cover and protect weakened teeth, helping prevent further damage.

Treatment Process

Treatment time: 6-7 days

1. Consultation and Planning: The dentist examines your teeth, takes X-rays, and discusses your goals to determine if crowns are suitable.
2. 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.
3. Impressions and Temporary Crowns: Impressions are taken to create a custom-fit crown. Meanwhile, temporary crowns protect the prepared teeth.
4. Custom Fabrication: Dental labs create the crowns based on the impressions. This can take a few days of week ( 7 days).
5. 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

1. Oral Hygiene: Regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing help maintain the crowns and prevent decay in surrounding teeth.
2. 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.
3. Routine Check-ups: Regular dental visits help ensure that your crowns remain in good condition.
4. 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!
