Restoring Old Dental Crowns Wavell Heights

People Asked:

How do I know if my old dental crowns need to be replaced?

The most common sign that you should look into restoring old dental crowns is the appearance of a dark line at the gum margin or sensitivity in the tooth. These signs often indicate that the seal has been compromised, allowing bacteria to leak underneath, which necessitates a new, custom-fitted restoration to protect the underlying tooth structure.

At Sure Dental, we are proud to be the trusted choice for patients both locally and abroad. We recently saw Rick, who travels from the United States to our Wavell Heights clinic specifically for his dental care. Dr Michael Ghobrial assisted Rick with a comprehensive plan for restoring old dental crowns that had been in place for 16 years. Over such a long period, the margins of the original crowns had begun to fail, making it the perfect time to upgrade to a more durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.

The Journey to a Refreshed Smile

Removing Decay and Preparing the Foundation

When we begin the process of restoring old dental crowns, our first priority is the health of the natural tooth. We carefully remove the aged restorations and any underlying decay that has accumulated over the years. This meticulous cleaning ensures that the new dental crowns are placed on a healthy, sterile foundation, which is essential for a successful, long-term result.

Precision Digital Fitting and Cementation

Using advanced 3D scanning technology, we design each new crown to match the patient’s unique facial symmetry and bite. This modern approach to restoring old dental crowns allows for a far superior fit compared to older methods. For Rick, we were able to complete the design and cement his new porcelain restorations just before his flight back to the US, ensuring his smile was healthy, functional, and refreshed.
