Dental Crowns and Bridges At Niddrie Dental Clinic

Dental crowns and bridges are designed to cover and reshape your teeth when they’ve been damaged. They act as a cover for your teeth so they can be protected from force and further damage. So you may need one if: 

• You need to protect a weak tooth that is decaying or breaking.
• You need to restore a tooth that is already broken.
• You need to cover or support a tooth with a large filling (i.e. there isn’t much of your tooth left).
• You need to hold a dental bridge in place.
• You’ve had a root canal treatment, and you need a cover.
• You want to cover a misshapen or discoloured tooth.

At Niddrie Dental Clinic, we offer modern and durable crown and bridge options that are designed to give you your confident smile back, so you can navigate your daily life comfortably. Our materials include: 

• Porcelain/Ceramic: This material is suitable for a natural colour match. It’s a popular option for highly aesthetic areas like your front tooth.
• Zirconia: As a material, zirconia is strong and durable whilst maintaining a natural look. 
• Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): Suitable for strength but less aesthetically pleasing. 
• Precious / Non-Precious Metal crown: Suitable for strength with minimal cutting, a good option for back molars where strength is critical for its functionality.

Depending on your needs, our team of dentists will discuss the best material for your needs by assessing your tooth’s location, whether the function has been impacted, and your budget.

We’ll begin with a consultation to understand the problem and what your vision is. We’ll talk you through your options, examine your teeth and assess how we can restore your smile in no time! If deemed necessary for you to proceed with a crown or a bridge, here’s what you need to know about the procedure: 

1. 1. Preparing the tooth: Your dentist will numb the area and prepare your tooth by reshaping it to the right fit for the crown or bridge. 
   2. Creating the impression: A scan will be taken of your tooth and sent to a dental laboratory.
   3. Temporary measure: While your permanent crown is being created, you’ll have a temporary crown inserted.
   4. The procedure: We’ll remove the temporary crown and replace it with your custom, new crown or bridge by permanently bonding it. 

We partner with a reputable and trustworthy laboratory in Melbourne to create your high-quality, custom-fit crowns and bridges and ensure that you love the results.

Now that you’ve had your crown or bridge placed, it is important to care for it just as you would your normal teeth. Use dentist-approved toothpaste and toothbrush to ensure that your oral hygiene is of a good standard. It is important to preserve your crown.

Most importantly, take your new teeth for a spin and smile!
