Dr Dale Benic | Tauranga Dentist | Te Puke Dentist | Mount Maunganui Dentist

At Benic Dental we offer the full range of general dentistry services including dental crowns.

 

Dental crowns can effectively repair and support partly or extensively damaged teeth.  A crown is a tooth shaped 'cap' which is placed over a tooth or remaining tooth structures.

 

It is a well proven dental procedure that aesthetically restores tooth shape, size and appearance.

 

There are a range of crowns available.  Permanent crowns can be made from all metal, all porcelain, or a combination of both. 

 

Strength and aesthetic appearance varies according to the option.  All metal crowns (commonly gold alloy) provide the greatest strength.  All ceramic or all porcelain crowns are a very popular option, as they provide the best natural look.  And with the latest breakthroughs in porcelain technology these, often preferred, tooth coloured crowns, can now be successfully placed on individual back teeth.

 

If you would like to arrange your initial consultation or you wish to understand more about dental crowns and/or our cosmetic dentistry services please Contact Us at our Tauranga, Mount Maunganui or Te Puke practice.

 

Below is a case by Dr Benic where 2 structurally compromised molars; one with a large amalgam filling and one with a variety of fillings were strengthed by fitting porcelain fused to metal crowns. For a full description see Case 9 in the Gallery section.
