Dental Crowns and Bridges

Safe Dental Crowns and Bridges

Patients who seek a replacement for a missing tooth can be advised to get Dental Crown Treatment for restoring their complete smile. A custom made dental crown can also be put on a chipped or a broken tooth to protect it from most ailments.

The tooth crown used in such procedures is made by our experienced dentist at Dentist Sunshine to identically match the size and shape of the adjacent teeth along with their colour.

In cases where a patient has lost a dental implant crown that was previously attached, a new custom made dental implant crown is used to balance the bite. Using a pole, the dental crown is bonded with the implant to the bone which can last for more than five years with proper care.

When the gums of a patient do not have the integrity to hold a dental crown by itself then bridges are used to replace the gap. Bridges can be permanent or temporarily removable in the form of dentures. The latter requires more care too because they require added support.

Types of Dental Crown & Procedures

Crowns are made with high-quality materials such as metal, zirconia, ceramic, and so on to make the following treatments possible at Dentist Sunshine Australia:

Temporary Tooth Crown

It is placed on your teeth for a limited time while your permanent crown is being prepared. It is fixed to the tooth by using dental adhesive.

One Day Tooth Crown

This type of tooth crown is made immediately in the office after our dentists determine the shape, size, and colour of the replacement tooth. Advanced computational techniques are used by our experienced dentists to accurately match the custom crown with your original teeth.

Onlays

It is not always required that you use a full crown to protect your teeth. In such cases, we can provide an onlay that covers only a portion of the teeth. It cannot be ideally placed as a dental implant crown.

Types of Dental Bridges & Procedures

There are mainly four types of dental bridges that are used widely to provide the above mentioned benefits to the patients.

Traditional

Within this treatment, a false tooth is placed between two supportive crowns with dental cement. This bridge is then placed on the existing natural teeth to fill the gap of the missing tooth.

You only need one natural tooth next to the missing tooth to place the cantilever bridge. The crown that is placed on the natural tooth could also be a dental implant crown for better strength.

Cantilever

You only need one natural tooth next to the missing tooth to place the cantilever bridge. The crown that is placed on the natural tooth could also be a dental implant crown for better strength.

Maryland

It is similar to the traditional bridge except that a frame made of porcelain or metal bonds the bridge together from the inner side with natural teeth to fill the gap of missing the tooth.

Similar to the name, dental implants are made for each tooth wherever possible which are responsible to hold the bridge together. This is comparatively the strongest type of implant which involves first placing the implant into the jawbone followed by placing the bridge in a second surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Dental Crowns and Bridges last?

If you maintain the Dental Crowns and Bridges properly then they may last you from between 5-15 years.

What can loosen a dental implant crown?

Numerous factors such as loosening of implant screw, breakage in abutment, and decay in dental cement can loosen the dental implant.

Which is better between Dental Crowns and Bridges?

It largely depends on the situation of your dental condition. Ideally, bridges are better for replacing more than one tooth, whereas for single tooth replacement dental crowns are better.

Why does my Dental Crown smell?

It is not the Dental Crowns and Bridges that smell but the germination of bacteria within them due to stuck food that causes the smell. It occurs when there is a space between the gums or adjoining teeth.

Can you chew gum with a Dental Bridge?

You should skip on chewing gum or eating foods that require too much chewing because it could loosen the bridge or even break it after a certain time period.
