Bridges & Dental Crowns Bentleigh East

Bridges & Dental Crowns in Bentleigh East

Naturally, a tooth is made out of enamel and dentine, enamel being the strong outer shell and dentine being a softer inner layer. Together, the two layers are very strong to withstand everyday biting/chewing, as well as expansion and shrinkage from hot and cold temperatures in the mouth.

As you get large fillings, cracks, decay on your teeth; the structural integrity of your teeth also diminishes and therefore the risk of a tooth fracture increases. A dental crown is often the best way to save a tooth and strengthen it.

FAQ About Dental Crowns & Bridges

Think of crowns like a protective helmet over weakened teeth. Besides a reduction in fracture risk, a dental crown can also improve the aesthetics of teeth by improving the shape, colour and length of your teeth. It can also close gaps between teeth and improve chewing capabilities. Bridges connect two crowns together.

What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are basically replacement caps for your teeth. The most popular types of crowns are made of porcelain, shaped and shaded to match your other teeth.

What are Dental Bridges?

Bridges consist of two crowns connected with a tooth replacement in the middle. The function of a bridge is to replace a missing tooth/teeth. An ideal scenario where a bridge is indicated is when there is a missing tooth with both neighbouring teeth also requiring dental crowns.

When do I need a Dental Crown or Bridge?

If you have a broken tooth or otherwise have most of the tooth missing, such as after a root canal treatment, you most likely need a dental crown. They can also be used to strengthen a tooth if it is weak from breaking. Another reason would be to cover a tooth that is shaped badly.

Dental Crown Procedure

Crown procedures are usually done over 2 visits: initial visit is when we remove decay and/or cracks and prepare the tooth to receive a crown. You will walk away from that appointment with a temporary crown. Your 2nd visit would be approximately 2-3 weeks away which allows time for our Australian trained dental technicians to fabricate/personalise your dental crown to your teeth.

What if I want to completely replace one or more teeth?

Alternatives to crowns and bridges are dental implants. Find out more about dental implants.

Maintenance and Aftercare of Bentleigh East Dental Crowns

Although nothing lasts forever, porcelain crowns and bridges should last for 10-15 years if they are well taken care of. Regular dental checkups are recommended and good dental hygiene such as brushing and flossing especially around the margins where decay is more likely to occur.

My experience at Chesterville Dental was fantastic. Dr Amy was incredibly knowledgeable and talked me through everything. She also provided a quote before she continued with the work. Got a Saturday appointment also, which was great. Highly recommend!

I have all of my family members with Chesterville Dental for a few years. All of the dentists including Dr. Gan, Amy and Elisabeth are so caring and professional at dental work. Recently, my little one (only 6 years old) has cavity on a few teeth. It is her first time to have teeth filling so she was so nervous and reluctant to do the filling at clinic. We almost gave up and are about to be referred to specialist. Dr. Elisabeth took the challenage and got all her teeth filled across 4 appointments. Her patience with kids and efficiency/effectiveness of the operation make my little one so relaxed and cooperative. Really appreciate your effort and professionalism!

I have been here for 2 years and have done a few things including dental cleaning, fillings and crowning, and I am really glad that I found this place! Dr Gan is very knowledgeable, kind and professional. I can feel that he really cares about his patients - not only did he provide excellent services, but he also recommend preventive measures which is something that I have never seen in other dental clinics. Thanks and I really appreciate it :)
