Crowns & Bridges

Dental Crowns Mornington

At our practice, we offer the highest quality dental crowns and bridges to give you a smile that is like new again!

Why would I need a dental crown?

Sometimes a tooth can be damaged to the extent that its strength is compromised, such as:

• when there is a large filling in the tooth it can cause deflection and stress on the remaining tooth structure as the filling expands and contracts due to biting forces.
• if you have had a root canal treatment it may lead to drying of the tooth, causing it to become more brittle, prone to fracture and discolouration.
• when a tooth is fractured or cracked you may need a crown to hold it together and prevent further tooth loss.

A crown may also be your best option if you are unable to achieve the look you desire with other methods.

Dental bridges

A dental bridge is a way of restoring your smile when a tooth is missing.

We often recommend a bridge for patients who have lost a tooth, leaving a space with teeth on either side.

Our dentists can reduce this gap by placing dental crowns on the teeth on either side and connecting a false tooth to the crowns.

Benefits of a dental bridge

A dental bridge can:

• close the gap created by missing tooth,
• improve your biting function so you can enjoy the foods you love
• prevent neighbouring teeth from moving
• produce a natural-looking result
• give you the confidence that comes with a great-looking smile
