Dental Crowns And Bridges In Melbourne
At DentalOne, we offer long-lasting and effective solutions for restoring and enhancing your smile with dental crowns and bridges. Dental crowns are porcelain caps that cover and strengthen heavily filled or fractured teeth, providing protection from further damage while improving their appearance. With DentalOne‘s expertise, you can enjoy the durability, functionality, and aesthetic benefits of crowns and bridges for a healthier, more confident smile.
How do dental crowns work?
A Dental Crown is used to entirely cover or ācapā a damaged tooth. Think of it something like a thimble on your finger. Besides offering a lot more strength to a damaged or broken tooth, a crown can also be used to improve a toothās appearance, shape or alignment. Crownās can also be placed on top of a dental implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for functionality.
Porcelain or ceramic Dental Crowns can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth. Other materials used in the manufacture of crowns include gold and metal alloys, acrylic and ceramic. The alloys are generally stronger than porcelain and may be recommended for back teeth. Porcelain in a colour to match your other natural teeth, bonded to a metal shell is often used because it is both strong and attractive.

How are Dental Crowns and Bridges Constructed?
Crowning a tooth is a simple procedure where the tooth is slightly reduced to make space for the surface area of the crown material. From the patientās perspective, this procedure will not feel much different to having a regular filling done. An impression (mould) is taken, and the dentist carefully chooses a colour to match your existing teeth. The impression and all the information is then sent to a dental laboratory. For interim function and aesthetics, you will be fitted with a temporary crown or bridge. Within a week or two the crown will be ready and all that is left is for the temporary crown to be removed and the final porcelain restoration to be cemented on. This is usually a straightforward and painless procedure.

How do dental bridges work?
Your dentist may recommend a bridge if you are missing one or more teeth. Gaps left by missing teeth can cause the remaining teeth to rotate or move into the empty spaces, resulting in issues like a food packs and perhaps a bad bite. The possible imbalance caused by missing teeth can also lead to periodontal (gum) disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJD) disorders (jaw pain and functionality issues).
Bridges span the space where teeth are missing. Bridges are cemented to your natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space. Porcelain or ceramic bridges are matched to the colour of your natural teeth, or, if used for full mouth rehabilitation, a total colour transformation can be achieved for some patients.
Long-lasting bridges in just two steps:
Appointment 1:
The two teeth either side of the missing teeth are prepared by adjusting their size on all surfaces, to have space to hold a crown on top. An impression or scan of the prepared teeth and area will be taken and sent to our laboratory. The dentist will then insert a temporary bridge until the permanent bridge is ready.
Appointment 2:
This is usually 2-3 weeks later.
The temporary bridge is removed, and your permanent bridge is inserted using a strong dental cement. Any adjustments are made (if needed) to make sure the bridge is comfortable, and specific care instructions are demonstrated to make sure the bridge lasts as long as possible.
The bridge should last for approximately 10-20 years unless specified otherwise and as long as the supporting teeth remain in a healthy stable condition. Good oral hygiene and regular dental examinations.
