What is Bridges and Dental Crowns treatment?

Both crowns are fixed prosthetic devices, as most bridges are. In comparison to reusable aids such as dentures that can be removed and washed regularly, crowns and bridges are cemented on existing teeth or implants and can be removed only by a dentist.


How do the Crowns function?

A crown is used to cover or 'protect' a damaged tooth completely. A crown may be used to enhance its appearance, shape or orientation, in addition to reinforcing a damaged tooth. Even a crown may be mounted on top of an implant to provide the feature with a tooth-like shape and structure. May match porcelain or ceramic crowns to the colour of your natural teeth. 


Other materials include alloys made from gold and silver, acrylic and ceramic. Generally, these alloys are stronger than porcelain and can be recommended for back teeth. Porcelain bonded to a shell of metal is sometimes used because it is both strong and attractive.







Dental crowns from Melbourne provide an adequate solution to a range of dental problems. They are able to:

  • Support a tooth that has been significantly damaged by decay

  • Protect a tooth that has worn away from being damaged further

  • Protect  a tooth after a root canal procedure

  • Hold a severely cracked or broken tooth together

  • Cover a dental implant

  • Improve the appearance of a tooth by changing its shape or colour

Benefits of a Dental Bridge 

A dental bridge helps improve appearance and confidence. When we can smile, we feel more confident. It also helps restore speech and chewing. Improved chewing allows for better digestion. Better eating results in better sleep which vastly improves our entire state of mind.
