Tooth Crowns and Bridges

The Simple Way to Restore Missing and Damaged Teeth

Having missing or damaged teeth can have a considerable impact on our lives. Many of us find that we can’t eat, talk, or smile like we used to. Knowing that our teeth aren’t as we’d like them to be can have a significant impact on our self-esteem. This, in turn, can affect what we achieve day to day. Dental crown and bridges are a great cosmetic solution to the problem, permanently restoring teeth as if they were new.

Prosthetic devices, often known as dental caps or tooth crowns, are cemented onto existing teeth or dental implants to cap or replace damaged teeth. Meanwhile, bridges can be placed between crowns to cover the space of more than one missing tooth. The result is that your smile is returned to its natural state. With dental crowns, no-one will know you don’t have your natural teeth. You can continue your life as normal.

How do Dental Crown and Bridges Work?

A tooth crown is a manufactured tooth, made from porcelain or ceramic to match the colour and texture of existing teeth. Dental crowns can also be made of gold and metal alloys to give them additional strength. This can be needed for back teeth. Although these are usually bonded to a porcelain shell, so they are still aesthetically pleasing.

Dental crowns are cemented in place by a cosmetic dentist to cover a damaged tooth or improve a tooth’s look, size, and alignment.

Bridges are used to effectively bridge the gap between one or more missing teeth. In a similar way to dental crowns, bridges are cemented to the natural teeth or dental implants. The supporting teeth serve as anchors for the bridge. The result is a full set of teeth that look as good as new. What’s more, bridges not only improve the look of the mouth but they protect the remaining teeth.

When to Consider Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Ultimately, if you have damaged or missing teeth, you should make an appointment with a cosmetic dentist so you can be fully assessed. That’s because when there are gaps in our mouth, our teeth gradually rotate and shift into the spaces. This can result in a bad bite and eventually to gum disease and joint disorders.

At Acacia Dental, we are vastly experienced in cosmetic dentistry and will complete a full assessment of your mouth. We review your personal circumstances and medical history and then discuss what you’d like to achieve. Whether it’s dental caps for front teeth or, we explain to you what your options are. This is the best way for you to understand what is possible. But more importantly, you will get clear about what the overall best crowns for teeth are and how to achieve the best results.

Getting a dental crown or bridge is a common solution used to repair several different dental problems. We may well suggest placing a dental crown when:

  • You have damaged or fractured your tooth
  • One or more teeth are discoloured or poorly shaped
  • Teeth have become weak due to too many fillings
  • Dental bridge needs an anchor
  • A dental implant needs to be covered
  • Your tooth needs replacing after having a root canal

How Quickly can a Dental Crown be Fitted?

If we decide a dental crown or bridge is the best treatment for your requirements, then the process is straightforward. In the past, you would need to wait for weeks to have your crown placed. You’d need to first have your tooth shaped and an impression taken. Then have a temporary tooth crown placed while waiting for the real thing. This can be inconvenient as will leave you waiting several weeks with a fragile and less than ideal temporary tooth crown.

Fortunately, new technology means that waiting for your crown to be made in a lab is a thing of the past. At our dental practice in Woden, we have our own CEREC machine. This revolutionary technology allows you to complete your dental crown treatment in a single visit.
