Dental Crowns “Caps”
Dental crowns, sometimes referred to as “caps,” are custom-built to strengthen and protect teeth that have been damaged, weakened, or worn down. They cover the entire visible portion of the tooth, aiming to restore its shape, size, and function while blending seamlessly with your smile. Crowns can also be used to complete dental implants, providing a secure and long-lasting replacement for missing teeth.
Crowns can be made of several different materials:
Porcelain Dental Crowns
Porcelain crowns are celebrated for their ability to restore both strength and beauty to a tooth. High-quality porcelain can match the colour, translucency, and light-reflecting qualities of enamel, making porcelain crowns our most popular choice.
Titanium and Gold Crowns
In addition to porcelain, we offer crowns made from pure titanium and gold. These materials are less common than porcelain, but still highly valued in certain situations.
- Titanium crowns are exceptionally strong, lightweight, and biocompatible, making them a durable choice for many patients.
- Gold crowns have a long and trusted history in dentistry. Renowned for their exceptional strength, durability, and biocompatibility, they remain one of the most reliable restorative materials available. Because gold is gentle on opposing teeth, it helps minimise wear and is particularly suited for back molars where strength and longevity matter most. While their metallic appearance may not appeal to everyone, gold crowns continue to be a popular choice among patients who value function, comfort, and proven performance over pure aesthetics.
Some of our patients have asked us to create titanium or gold crowns for their front teeth. While less common, these crowns can provide a distinctive, bold “grill-style” look. We view these requests as an opportunity to showcase the versatility of modern dentistry and to personalise treatment so it reflects each patient’s unique sense of style and functional needs.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive treatment approach designed to restore health, function and aesthetics to patients with multiple dental concerns such as worn, damaged or missing teeth. At The Paddington Dental Surgery, our skilled team creates personalised treatment plans that may combine procedures like crowns, bridges, implants, veneers and gum therapy, all performed in-house for your convenience. With a focus on natural-looking results and long-term durability, full mouth reconstruction can help you eat, speak and smile with renewed confidence.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge can be another effective way to replace missing teeth and restore balance to your smile. Custom-designed to blend beautifully with your smile, a bridge can fill the gap left by tooth loss while also supporting the surrounding teeth. This technique can also encourage stability and function, allowing you to chew and speak with ease. With their natural look and durable design, dental bridges can provide both comfort and confidence.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
In the recent past, most fillings were comprised of metal (silver and mercury) that could make dental work visible when smiling and also may have presented a health risk. However, the latest materials make it possible to perform minor restorations with fillings that blend in with your natural teeth and reduce the potential for biological and environmental harm. At The Paddington Dental Surgery, we use mercury-free, tooth-coloured fillings to correct damage and decay. As part of our holistic approach to dentistry, we are committed to providing you with state-of-the-art dental care that supports a wellness lifestyle.
Inlays and Onlays
If tooth damage is too extensive for a simple filling, an inlay or onlay may be a wonderful alternative. These restorations can provide the strength and coverage your tooth needs without requiring a full crown, and they are crafted from advanced, tooth-coloured materials that blend seamlessly with your smile. Inlays are typically used on the back teeth to repair damage across the biting surface between the cusps, while onlays extend further to restore areas that involve the cusps themselves. Both options are developed to be durable, natural-looking, and preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Dentures
For patients who may not be candidates for dental implants, dentures can be a viable choice. Custom-designed to fit comfortably and blend with your smile, full or partial dentures can improve your ability to eat, speak, and feel more confident day to day. With today’s advanced materials and techniques, dentures can be crafted to look natural and feel secure.
Oral Surgery
Our dentists and oral surgeons provide a comprehensive range of oral surgery procedures right here in our office. Procedures include oral and dental surgery, tooth extraction, crown lengthening, dental implants, and more. With a focus on comfort and care, we aim to make each procedure as smooth and successful as possible.
