What are Dental Veneers, Crowns and Bridges?

 

A dental veneers are a thin, custom-made covering that is placed over the front of the tooth. A crown is a cap or covering for a tooth. It is used when your tooth is discoloured, cracked or broken, heavily filled or if fillings have been lost. All of them are fixed prosthetic devices.

A dental bridge is a ceramic structure, spanning the gap left by a missing or extracted tooth. A ceramic tooth (pontic) is fused between two or more porcelain crowns on either side of the missing tooth that serve as anchors. 

When would I need a crown?​

 

  • Replace a large filling when there isn't enough tooth remaining

  • Protect a weak tooth from fracturing

  • Restore a fractured tooth

  • Attach a bridge

  • Cover a dental implant

  • Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment

How Long do Crowns and Bridges Last?


While crowns and bridges can last 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 good 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. Also see your dentist and hygienist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings.

​

We choose to use Australian based laboratories who produce our crowns and bridges right here in Melbourne. This allows us to guarantee the quality, and you can expect a longer lasting, more durable product.
