What are dental crowns?

When it comes to dental crowns, Dubbo patients should think of them as a ‘cap’ which fits entirely over a tooth. Our Dubbo dentist uses crowns to:

• Strengthen a tooth following root canal therapy
• Support and secure a dental bridge
• Top a dental implant
• Provide strength to a tooth with limited remaining structure
• Conceal staining and discolouration to a tooth
• Improve the appearance of a misshapen tooth
• Stop cracks in the teeth from worsening

There is a selection of materials for crowns that our dentist in Dubbo can use to give you the look that you want. These include porcelain, for that translucent tooth-like appearance, through to porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns, zirconia crowns, ceramic crowns and gold crowns for strength and durability.

What is a dental bridge?

A fixed dental bridge in Dubbo is one method we use to replace a single tooth or several adjacent teeth. It consists of one or more false teeth (depending on how many teeth are missing) with a crown at each end. The crowns are placed over the teeth adjacent to the gap and a further crown bridges the gap and acts as a replacement tooth.

Reasons for getting a dental bridge in Dubbo

  • To close a gap left by a missing tooth/teeth
  • To prevent misalignment caused by nearby teeth drifting into the gap
  • Improve bite and chew functionality
  • Provide a fixed option as opposed to a removable denture
  • Give support to facial structures

During your consultation, our Dubbo dentist will discuss the best type of dental bridge for your dental needs.
