Crowns and How can It Help in Restoring Your Smile?

A crown, or cap as it’s commonly known, is a tooth-like shell that is carefully placed over your existing tooth. This cosmetic dentistry procedure is widely used to strengthen, restore and enhance the appearance of your natural tooth. Besides, we use crowns to protect the weakened tooth or restore the ones which are cracked or chipped.

You require a crown under the following circumstances:

  • If you’ve got fractured or damaged tooth
  • When severe decay has weakened your tooth
  • For a badly discoloured or stained tooth
  • It is used to fix a mishappen tooth
  • When a dental bridge requires an anchor.

What is a Dental Bridge and How it Helps You?

A dental bridge is a prosthetic device that is used to replace a missing tooth/teeth. Generally, bridges are made of a combination of porcelain and metal for added strength and a natural appearance. A dental bridge is used to replace a missing tooth, along with providing an effective solution for unstable or uncomfortable dentures.

To find out whether you require a crown or a dental bridge, talk to the experts at Box Hill North Dental.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental crowns and bridges used for?

Dental crowns and bridges are restorative treatments used to repair damaged teeth or replace missing teeth, helping restore strength, function and appearance while supporting a healthy bite. 

When would I need a dental crown instead of a filling?

A dental crown is usually recommended when a tooth is heavily decayed, cracked or weakened, as it provides full coverage and protection that a standard filling cannot offer. 

What is the difference between a dental crown and a dental bridge?

A dental crown covers and protects a single damaged tooth, while a dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to neighbouring teeth or crowns. 

How long do crowns and bridges usually last?

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check ups, crowns and bridges can last many years, often over a decade, depending on the material used and daily care habits. 

Are crowns and bridges designed to look natural?

Modern crowns and bridges are custom made to match the colour, shape and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural looking smile. 

Is the crown and bridge procedure painful?

The crown and bridge procedure is generally comfortable, with local anaesthesia used to minimise discomfort and ensure a smooth treatment experience. 

How many visits are required for crown and bridge treatment?

Crown and bridge treatment usually requires two visits, one to prepare the tooth and take impressions and another to fit and cement the final restoration. 

How should I care for my crown or bridge after treatment?

Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding excessive biting force and attending regular dental visits helps protect crowns and bridges and extend their lifespan. 

Can crowns and bridges improve chewing and speech?

Crowns and bridges restore proper tooth structure and spacing, which can significantly improve chewing efficiency, speech clarity and overall oral function.
