How can we help you?
At Centre Street Dental, we welcome any questions and are here to help our patients make educated and informed decisions regarding their dental health and smiles.
We have answered some of our most common questions that patients ask.
If your question is not on this list, please let us know.
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns are the strongest restoration that can be put into someone’s mouth. However, even crowns can chip or break over time. If this happens it is important to see your dentist to have the crown and the tooth underneath evaluated so that a treatment plan can be established. At Centre Street Dental in Casino, this is generally done as part of our active maintenance appointment. Crowns, like teeth and gums, need checking regularly to make sure that they are still able to do the job that they were made for and not becoming a trap for plaque and food because they are chipped or breaking.
If you have crowns in your mouth and it has been a while since your last dental examination, call us for an appointment and Dr Greg Normoyle can thoroughly examine your mouth including your crowns.
Chipped and worn teeth are often unsightly and can lead to a genuine lack of self confidence. The causes of chipping and wearing are varied and as such there are a range of treatments available. Small chips can usually be repaired by some simple bonding procedures.
Sometimes the teeth are not aligned properly and this can lead to unusual wear patterns in the teeth. At Centre Street Dental, our Invisalign Go system may be able to be used to realign the teeth prior to reshaping and restoring the teeth with bonding or porcelain veneers. If the wear is severe, then more extensive reconstructive work may be necessary.
At Centre Street Dental, we believe that it is important that our patients should know all of the available options and the pro’s and con’s of each of these options. It is only then that a truly informed decision can be made.
If you would like to know more about the options available for you, please book in for a consultation appointment with Dr Greg Normoyle.
At Centre Street Dental in Casino, our cosmetic treatments range from simple ‘at home’ whitening through to full smile design and reconstruction. If you have had braces in the past and now have some relapse tooth movement, we can use our ‘Invisalign Go’ system to re- straighten the teeth. Chipped and worn front teeth can be restored using tooth coloured bonding techniques or porcelain veneers or crowns. The range of treatments is vast and can suit nearly any budget.
Dr Greg Normoyle can complete a digital scan of your mouth and develop a digital smile design which can be transferred to your mouth using 3D printing technology. Then it is simply a matter of deciding what is right for you.
If you would like to know what cosmetic treatments would best suit you, call us today to organise a consultation.
Crowns are used to protect weakened teeth and reduce the chance of the teeth splitting. Teeth can become weak for a number of reasons. As soon as a tooth has a filling in it, its strength has been compromised. Small fillings have little impact but once more than half of the tooth is filling, then its structural integrity is in question. Root canal treated teeth are also compromised structurally and are far more prone to catastrophic fracture. Placing crowns on these teeth significantly reduces the risk of fracture and subsequent tooth loss.
If you have fillings or root filled teeth and would like to have these teeth assessed, we invite you to book in at Centre Street Dental for a consultation. We would be happy to let you know all options that are available.
Dental crowns are useful in many dental scenarios. Dr Greg Normoyle may recommend a dental crown if your tooth is damaged by severe decay or has cracked because of an injury.
Sometimes, patients ask for dental crowns are used as part of a cosmetic smile makeover treatment to transform a stained or a misshapen tooth that is detracting from the beauty of the smile.
Procedure for Dental Crowns in Casino, NSW
Before we begin the process of the dental crown, our cosmetic dentists may recommend one due to a weakened or broken tooth. We try to use the least invasive option whenever possible, especially if we can save your natural tooth. A dental crown keeps your natural tooth safe and protected and allows you to eat your favourite foods again without worrying about biting down on your tooth.
Patients always have the final say; we do our best to educate and inform.
