Dental Crowns and Bridges in Hervey Bay

We offer the highest quality crowns and bridges to restore your smile like new

Crowns and bridges are used to restore a smile back to normal appearance and functionality. Oftentimes, teeth can be damaged to the extent that the look and strength are compromised. In that case, you might require a dental crown or a bridge to replace a few teeth.

What is a dental crown?

Crowns are a tooth shaped shell that gets installed to encase your decayed tooth or implant. Made from high-grade dental ceramic, crowns are (for example, zirconia ) strong, long-lasting solutions for restoring a single tooth. Dental crowns blend in with your natural teeth to complete your smile and are durable enough function like a natural tooth as well.

When do you require a dental crown?

You might require a dental crown if:

• You have a severely decayed tooth that a filling cannot mend.
• You have had a root canal that may have led to drying of the tooth, causing it to become more brittle, prone to fracture and discoloration.
• You have a tooth that is fractured or cracked, a crown can hold it together to prevent loss.

What are dental bridges?

A bridge is a series of connected crowns that can fill a gap in between two decayed teeth. For replacing more than one missing tooth, bridges can be created to fill the space. The bridge is held in place by crowns secured to sound teeth on either side of the space. Bridges can also be placed on top of dental implants to replace up to 4 or 5 teeth at one time.

When do you require a dental bridge?

You might require a dental bridge to:

• Fill a gap created by a missing tooth.
• Improve teeth functionality and complete a smile.
• Restore a smile that has several damaged, decayed, or missing teeth.
