Dental Crowns Maroubra

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It covers the entire visible surface of the tooth above the gum line, restoring its size, shape, strength and appearance.

Crowns are one of the most reliable restorations in dentistry. They protect teeth that can no longer support a filling alone and restore full biting function after procedures such as root canal treatment in Maroubra.

Once placed, a well-fitted crown blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth and holds up to everyday biting and chewing.

Dentists at Ivory Dental Co commonly place crowns to:

Types of Crowns Available

The material used for your crown depends on the location of the tooth, your bite, and your aesthetic preferences.

Your dentist will discuss the best option based on your individual case during the initial consultation.

The Crown Placement Process

Fitting a crown typically involves two appointments at the clinic.

At the first appointment, the tooth is shaped to make room for the crown, and a digital scan or impression is taken to ensure a precise fit. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is made.

At the second appointment, the temporary crown is removed, and the final crown is checked for fit, bite alignment and appearance before being cemented into place.

Patients who also need supporting restorative work — such as inlays and onlays in Maroubra — can discuss coordinating appointments to reduce the number of clinic visits.

Caring for a Dental Crown

Crowns do not require special maintenance beyond a regular oral hygiene routine. Brushing twice daily, flossing around the crown margins, and attending routine general dentistry in Maroubra appointments will help maximise the lifespan of your restoration.

Most crowns last between 10 and 15 years with proper care. The longevity of a crown depends on the material used, your bite, grinding habits and how consistently you attend routine visits.
