Bridges and Crowns

To restore your smile to its original look and repair decayed, broken or missing teeth, the dentists at East Bentleigh Dental Group may use bridges and crowns as part of your treatment.

As crowns and bridges are made from porcelain they can look very natural when completed.

Bridges

If you are missing one or several teeth a bridge is an alternative to dentures.

Bridges are natural-looking artificial teeth that can replace a section of missing teeth. Because they are custom-made, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth as well as the proper bite relationship between upper and lower teeth.

A combination of porcelain and gold alloy materials are usually used to make a bridge. It is important to replace missing teeth to prevent stresses on other teeth and the shifting of adjacent teeth.

Crowns

Crowns are usually made of a precious metal covered in porcelain, or all porcelain, which is then placed on the top of a prepared tooth.

Crowns are typically used to cover a heavily filled or broken tooth as well as to provide strength after a root canal treatment. Crowns are also used to attach bridges, cover implants; they can also have an aesthetic use to cover stained or chipped teeth.
