Crowns and Bridges: The perfect smile. Everytime.
A dental crown is a prosthetic device that fits over a damaged or unsightly tooth, restoring its strength and appearance. Our team of specialists will carefully match the colour and shape of your crown to your other teeth, ensuring a uniform and beautiful smile.
A dental bridge, on the other hand, helps to fill the gap left by missing teeth, improving your bite and preventing other dental problems from arising. Our bridges are fixed or cemented to the natural teeth or implants on either side, offering a long-lasting and secure solution.
Having a dental crown or dental bridge put in is a complicated procedure that requires the skilled, steady hand of a trained dentist. At Dentistry by Design, our dentists are internationally renowned and have years of experience in installing dental crowns and bridges here in Sydney.
WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWNS AND HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED ONE?
A crown tooth is a prosthetic device that is fixed or cemented to a tooth, teeth or implants. A crown is not removable as is the case with dentures.
A ceramic crown is installed to fit over or ‘cap’ a damaged tooth which may be brittle, painful, or unsightly. The dental crown covers the tooth, making it stronger and improving its appearance, colour and alignment. Dental crowns can also fit on top of an implant for structure and function.
Dentistry by Design specialists will carefully match the crown to the colour of your other teeth to create beauty and uniformity. Crowns are made of porcelain but in some cases, alloys like gold, metal, or acrylic, might be chosen. Because Porcelain bonded to a metal shell is a strong and attractive choice, dentists often use it.
The team at Dentistry by Design might suggest a crown when:
- A large filling needs to be replaced, and there isn’t enough tooth remaining
- A weak tooth needs protection from fracturing
- A fractured tooth needs to be restored
- A bridge needs to be attached
- A dental implant needs to be covered
- A discoloured or poorly shaped tooth needs to be covered
- A tooth that has had root canal treatment needs to be covered
WHAT IS A DENTAL BRIDGE AND HOW DO I KNOW THAT I NEED ONE?
If you are missing one or more teeth, one of our expert dentists might recommend a dental bridge. As the name suggests, a bridge helps to ‘bridge’ the gap between missing teeth and spans the length of the space where the teeth are missing. Bridge teeth are fixed or cemented to the patient’s natural teeth or implants on either side and can only be removed by a dentist.
We might suggest a dental bridge when:
- A tooth or teeth are missing, and there are significant gaps left open
- A patient has a bad bite due to shifted or rotated teeth from an open gap
- There are other dental problems arising from missing teeth, such as gum disease or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

A bridge may be recommended if you’re missing one or more teeth. Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite. The imbalance caused by missing teeth can also lead to gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Bridges are commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth. They span the space where the teeth are missing. Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space.

While crowns and bridges can last a lifetime, they do sometimes loosen or fall out. The most important step you can take to ensure the longevity of your crown or bridge is to practise good oral hygiene. A bridge can lose its support if the teeth or bone holding it in place are damaged by dental disease. Keep your gums and teeth healthy by brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and flossing daily. See your dentist and hygienist regularly for check-ups and professional cleaning.
