Introduction

What Are Crowns And Bridges?

Crowns and bridges restore teeth that are damaged or missing. A crown covers and strengthens a weak tooth, while a bridge fills a gap by replacing one or more missing teeth. We offer porcelain crowns, ceramic crowns, and implant-supported options made to fit securely and blend in with your other teeth.

FAQ

FAQs about crowns and bridges

How much does a dental crown cost?

The cost of a dental crown depends on the type of material used, the tooth being treated, and how complex the work is. Some crowns may also attract a health fund rebate. We’ll explain the expected cost clearly after examining your tooth, so there are no surprises.

How much does a dental bridge cost?

Dental bridge costs vary based on how many teeth are being replaced and the type of bridge needed. Because a bridge involves more than one tooth, it’s usually more expensive than a single crown. After assessing the gap and surrounding teeth, we’ll give you a clear treatment plan and cost breakdown.

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, crowns and bridges can last many years. Their lifespan depends on factors like the material used, how well they fit, and how they’re cared for day to day. We’ll give you advice on how to look after your restoration so it lasts as long as possible.

Should I choose a dental bridge or an implant crown?

That depends on your teeth, bone health, budget, and long-term goals. A bridge can be a good option if you want to replace a missing tooth without surgery, while an implant crown may suit people looking for a stand-alone solution. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each and help you choose what makes the most sense for you.

What's the difference between a porcelain crown and a ceramic crown?

Both porcelain and ceramic crowns are strong, natural-looking options that blend in with your natural teeth. The terms are often used interchangeably, though some ceramic crowns are made from materials like zirconia for extra strength. We'll recommend the best material based on which tooth needs the crown and how much pressure it handles when you bite.

Why do I need a temporary crown?

A temporary crown protects your tooth while your permanent crown is being custom-made at the dental laboratory. It keeps the tooth covered, maintains your bite, and prevents sensitivity. You'll wear the temporary crown for a week or two until your final restoration is ready to be fitted.
