What are Dental Crowns and Tooth Bridges?
Both crowns and most bridges are fixed prosthetic devices. Compared with removable devices such as dentures, which you can remove and clean daily, crowns and bridges are cemented upon existing teeth or implants, and may only be removed by a dentist. They are made of Porcelain or an extremely hard glass. We may recommend Emax Empress porcelain for anterior esthetics or Zirconia crowns for posterior teeth. All our crowns are produced in Melbourne leading dental laboratories and these restorations provide outstanding esthetics and strength.
Benefits of BRIDGES & CROWNS for Patients near Frankston
In addition to strengthening a damaged tooth, bridges and crowns can be used to improve a tooth’s appearance, shape, alignment and dental occlusion (bite). Gaps left by missing teeth can cause the remaining teeth to shift, which can result in a bad bite. Bridges and crowns help prevent this from happening.
We may recommend a crown to:
1. Substitute a substantial filling when there is not adequate tooth remaining
2. Protect a weak tooth from breaking
3. Rebuild a fractured tooth
4. Attach a bridge
5. Protect a dental implant
6. Protect a discolored or poorly shaped tooth
7. Go over a tooth which includes had root canal treatment
How Long do Crowns and Bridges Survive?
While crowns and bridges can survive a lifetime, they do sometimes come loose or fall out. The most important step you can take to ensure the longevity of your crown or bridge is to practice excellent oral hygiene. A bridge can lose its support if the teeth or bone holding it in place are damaged by dental disease. Keep your gums and teeth healthy by Brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and flossing daily.
