Dental Crowns & Bridges
What Is a Dental Crown?
Is your tooth discoloured, cracked or broken? Dental crowns and bridges might be the right option for you.
At McMahons Point Dental, we offer a range of cosmetic dentistry solutions to help you achieve your perfect smile. Our professional dentists in North Sydney may recommend a dental crown to restore the weaker part of a tooth or a crown to fix the structure of your tooth.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
Dental bridges replace missing teeth. A dental bridge is a false tooth, fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. The two crowns holding it in place are attached to teeth on each side of the false tooth.
Why Dental Crowns and Bridges Are Important
Dental crowns and bridges can be used to:
- Strengthen a damaged tooth
- Improve tooth appearance, shape or alignment
- Replace a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining
- Restore a fractured tooth
- Cover a dental implant
- Cover a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth
- Protect a tooth after root canal treatment
Dental Crowns and Bridges Treatment
At an appointment with Dr Edwina, our dentists at McMahons Point Dental, we will assess your teeth and discuss your needs and requirements. This will help us determine if a dental crown and/or bridge is the best solution. If you decide a crown or bridge is right for you, we will arrange an appointment to prepare the teeth and send impressions to our Australian laboratory who will fabricate your crown or bridge out of porcelain, ceramic or metal.
When your crown is ready, it will be fixed in place and you will have a brand new, functioning tooth.
