Custom Crowns and Bridges
Having damaged or missing teeth can be embarrassing and painful. As your Mt Gravatt East family dentist, we offer restorative options that enhance your smile’s health and beauty, both at the same time. When it comes to repairing badly compromised teeth or replacing them, our custom crowns and bridges are an excellent choice. Our on-site lab allows for precise planning and exceptional quality.
Full Coverage Crowns Protect and Restore
Crowns are restorations that we use when a filling isn’t adequate. Perhaps the tooth has too large of a cavity or fracture to fill, so covering it is the better option. This process protects the underlying, weak enamel and prevents it from breaking apart even further.
You may need a crown if you’ve experienced:
- Recent root canal treatment
- A large fracture or chip in the tooth
- The removal of a large, leaking filling
- Severe tooth decay
- Accelerated tooth wear
During your evaluation, we will take an X-ray of the tooth to determine the extent of any damage, before determining if a filling or crown is more appropriate.
Fixed Bridges Fill in Open Spaces
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that goes over two healthy teeth, with a pontic (replacement) tooth suspended between them. As the name suggests, bridges span the gap caused by a missing or recently extracted tooth. When you get a bridge, you’ll want to be sure to clean underneath it daily to maintain the health of the supporting teeth. A floss threader or water flosser can make this process relatively simple.
Durable Porcelain Restorations Enhance Your Smile
Each of our crowns and bridges is crafted from durable porcelain to look and feel similar to a real tooth. Plus, all of our fixed restorations are designed in our in-house lab, for optimal fit and aesthetics. Bridges and crowns can also be affixed to dental implants, to replace single or multiple missing teeth.
