What is a crown?

Crowns are permanent ‘caps’ that are custom-made to perfectly fit your tooth and shaped like natural teeth. They are usually made of ceramic for front teeth and porcelain or gold for molars. Gold crowns can have a gold or silver appearance. Newer ceramic crowns are strong enough to be used in all areas of the mouth and blend seamlessly with your teeth, avoiding unsightly black lines forming around the margin of the crown.

What is a bridge?

A bridge is a dental device used to fill the gap created by missing teeth with natural-looking replacement teeth. Bridges can prevent common problems associated with missing teeth, such as bite misalignment, tilting teeth, and sagging facial muscles. Dentures or implants may also be recommended by your dentist.

Dental Implants

As well as improving the appearance of your smile, bridges help prevent common problems arising from missing teeth, such as bite misalignment, tilting teeth and sagging facial muscles. On average, bridges may last for ten years and even longer.

How are Bridges fitted?

Bridges are usually made of porcelain and/or metal and designed to match the colour of your natural teeth. False teeth are attached to your natural teeth on either side of the gap, and these natural teeth are prepared for crowns to fit on top. The crowns and false tooth in the centre are permanently attached to create a natural-looking and functional replacement for the missing teeth.

Dental Bridges Procedure

A dental bridge procedure is efficient and consists of the following:

The dentist will examine your mouth and ensure any tooth decay is treated. During this time, an x-ray may be taken to measure the teeth and mouth.

In order to prepare for the dental bridge, our dentist will prepare the two teeth either side of the gap and create a mould to make the bridge.

You may be given a temporary bridge while you wait for your permanent bridge to be made. Your temporary bridge will be removed once the permanent one is ready for cementation.

The permanent bridge will be put in place when ready and attached to the surrounding teeth on either side with dental cement. A dental implant may also be used to anchor the bridge if this method is suitable for you.

What happens when you get a Crown?

Procedure

Firstly, you may have an X-ray to check the condition of the entire tooth. Then your dentist will administer local anaesthetic and shape your tooth in preparation for the new crown. A mould of your tooth is taken using a putty-like material, so the crown can be made to fit your tooth perfectly.

It may take one or two weeks for the crown to be ready, so your dentist will fit a temporary crown. At the second appointment, your dentist will remove the temporary crown and cement the new crown in place.

Does dental insurance cover crowns?

Dental insurance will cover crowns whenever they are necessary. However, it is always best to check with your health care provider first. Make sure you have a conversation with your dental health insurance to find out what costs they will cover when it comes to oral care.

Why do you need a crown?

A dental crown is usually needed to protect a weak tooth from breaking or holding together parts of a cracked tooth. It is an ideal restorative option that will repair the functionality of your teeth and transform the look of your smile. If your teeth have been severely worn down, then opt for dental crowns from Macquarie Dental today.

How to maintain a dental crown?

Maintaining a dental crown is as easy as caring for your normal set of teeth. First, resume your everyday oral health routine, ensuring to brush twice a day and floss regularly. In addition, you should be visiting your dentist at least every six months for a routine check-up and booking professional cleans.

What is the difference between a temporary and permanent crown?

A dentist will place a temporary crown onto your teeth to provide support until your permanent crowns are made. Permanent crowns are made to size and will perfectly match your natural teeth in colour and shape. This process will restore your original smile.

From which materials are dental crowns made from?

Porcelain or ceramic is the most durable material to use when creating dental crowns. At Macquarie Dental, we utilise these materials to carefully craft unique crowns that will fit perfectly over your set of teeth. These materials are long-lasting and provide various benefits.
