Dental Crowns & Bridges in Mount Waverley
Discover Dentistry That Restores Teeth to Their Potential
Crowns and bridges are effective ways to restore one or a number of damaged or decayed teeth. At Dickson Street Dental, we provide high-quality restorative treatments to help you regain the function and aesthetics of your smile.
Bridges
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are an alternative to implants for replacing missing teeth. Whether due to accidents, decay, or other causes, a missing tooth or teeth can impact bite and chew function, smile confidence, and overall oral health. Missing teeth can cause adjacent teeth to move, leading to crooked teeth and changes in facial shape.
How Do Dental Bridges Work?
Dental bridges are bonded permanently to adjacent teeth and are supported by crowns secured to teeth on either side of the gap. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth, preventing teeth on either side of the gap from moving. Bridges can be made from both precious and non-precious metal, as well as porcelain.
If we prescribe a dental bridge for you, we will present options and advise you of the implications of each, including financial considerations. While dental bridges are an investment, we provide in-house and other dental finance options to help you access the treatment you need when you need it.
Crowns
What Are Dental Crowns?
Teeth can often get discoloured or chipped over time due to certain habits. While it may not be painful, it can significantly affect one’s confidence and make them self-conscious during social interactions. Dental crowns are a restorative dental treatment used to repair and protect teeth that have suffered breakage, wear, or decay. They can also be used for teeth that have already been restored but need further restoration. Crowns improve the aesthetic appearance of damaged or discoloured teeth and are frequently used to protect teeth that have received root canal therapy.
How Do Dental Crowns Work?
Dental crowns involve filing down the existing tooth to ensure there is enough space for the crown. An impression of the reshaped tooth is taken to create a crown that is compatible with your bite and does not cause any discomfort. The crown is then cemented in place.
At Dickson Street Dental, we use advanced materials and industry-leading technology to create crowns that have the appearance and translucency of real teeth. Our approach, in conjunction with our laboratory partners, ensures high-quality results.
