Beautiful smile

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: 

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.

Crowns/Bridges FAQs​

A crown can be used to improve its appearance, shape or alignment. A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function. Porcelain or ceramic crowns can be matched to the colour of your teeth. Other materials include gold and metal alloys, acrylic, and ceramic.
Your dentist may recommend a crown to:

  • Replace a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining.
  • Protect a weak tooth from fracturing.
  • Restore a fractured tooth.
  • Attach a bridge.
  • Cover a dental implant.
  • Cover a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth.
  • Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment.

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.

Do you have any more questions? We’re here to help. Contact us.

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.
