Crowns and Bridges in Narre Warren

Living with damaged, decayed, or missing teeth can be more than a cosmetic concern. It can affect your confidence, ability to enjoy food, and even your speech. At Melbourne Dental Vision in Narre Warren, we offer dental crowns and bridges to repair your smile and restore damaged, decayed, and broken teeth.

How Does a Crown Work?

A crown is a protective cap made of porcelain, zirconia, or other durable material that is custom-crafted to cover a damaged tooth. Its purpose is to strengthen the tooth and restore its shape and function so you can chew on it comfortably. Because we meticulously custom-craft your crown, you can be confident it will blend perfectly with your smile.

Reasons Our Narre Warren Dentists Might Recommend a Crown

Our dentists in Narre Warren may recommend a crown for several reasons:

• Hold a cracked tooth together
• Restore a badly decayed tooth
• Strengthen a tooth with a large filling
• Support a worn or broken tooth
• Improve a discoloured or misshapen tooth
• Strengthen a tooth after root canal treatment

The Process for Getting a Crown

Getting a dental crown at Melbourne Dental Vision typically requires two appointments. First, our expert Narre Warren dentists will assess your needs, explain their findings, and recommend a crown if appropriate. 

Before beginning any work on the tooth, we numb it with a strong local anaesthetic. Next, we reshape the tooth slightly to allow the crown to fit perfectly. We then take comfortable digital impressions and place a temporary on the prepared tooth to protect it.

A custom dental lab expertly fabricates your restoration to our high standards, which takes about two weeks. We will have you return to our practice for a second visit when your crown is ready so we can check it for fit and comfort and cement it securely to your tooth. 

Dental Bridges: Closing the Gap in Your Smile

A dental bridge closes the gap in your smile left by one or two missing teeth. This restoration consists of an artificial tooth suspended between two dental crowns. The crowns are attached to teeth adjacent to the gap, and the artificial tooth (pontic) sits in the gap to complete your smile.

Getting a bridge is similar to crowns and typically requires two visits. With proper care, a dental bridge can last five years or longer.
