When deciding between dental crowns and fillings, several factors come into play, including the extent of tooth damage, location, durability, and long-term oral health. At The Smile Zone we help you choose the best restorative treatment to keep your smile healthy and strong.

Why Choose a Crown Over a Filling?

🔹 Stronger Structural Support – Crowns fully encase the damaged tooth, offering superior protection and restoring strength.

🔹 Ideal for Severe Decay & Fractures – When a tooth has large cavities, cracks, or extensive damage, a crown is often the best solution to prevent further deterioration.

🔹 Long-Lasting Durability – Unlike fillings, which may wear down over time, crowns are designed to withstand heavy chewing forces and last for many years.

🔹 Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal – Crowns offer a seamless, natural look, making them a great choice for improving the appearance of discoloured or misshapen teeth.

🔹 Essential After Root Canal Treatment – Post-root canal, teeth are more fragile. A crown adds strength and stability, protecting the tooth from fractures.

🔹 Prevention of Future Damage – By fully covering the tooth, crowns provide long-term reinforcement, reducing the risk of future cracks or breakage.

What’s the Best Option for You?

While fillings are a great choice for minor cavities, crowns are the preferred option for heavily damaged or weakened teeth. At The Smile Zone, we use CEREC same-day technology to create custom crowns in just one visit, eliminating the need for temporary restorations.

Missing teeth? Dental implants offer a lifelong, natural-looking solution that restores both function and aesthetics. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, providing unmatched stability and durability.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made from biocompatible titanium, designed to fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture, ensuring a secure and seamless fit.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

✔️ Looks & Feels Natural – Implants function just like real teeth, restoring full chewing ability and a confident smile.
✔️ Long-Lasting Durability – With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution.
✔️ Preserves Jawbone Health – Prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure, unlike traditional dentures.
✔️ No Damage to Other Teeth – Unlike bridges, implants don’t require modifying healthy adjacent teeth.
✔️ Improved Speech & Comfort – Say goodbye to slipping dentures and discomfort—implants stay firmly in place.

The Implant Procedure: Step by Step

🦷 1. Consultation & Planning – A detailed oral assessment, including digital scans, to determine the best implant solution.
🦷 2. Implant Placement – The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia.
🦷 3. Healing & Osseointegration – Over a few months, the implant fuses with the bone for a rock-solid foundation.
🦷 4. Custom Restoration – A lifelike crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached for a perfect finish.
