Sydney Smile Care – Crowns and Bridges in Burwood
Bridges and crowns are prosthetic devices that are used as permanent fixtures if you’re missing teeth. A crown is a cap that covers the tooth if it is cracked, fractured, broken, or heavily discoloured. A bridge spans the space where you’re missing teeth so that your teeth don’t move to compensate for the gaps.
If you need crowns and bridges in Burwood, Sydney Smile Care offers state-of-the-art technology to help you achieve the full smile you want and deserve.
Crowns and Bridges Services in Burwood
The process of fitting crowns and bridges is quite different. When used together, these prosthetics can strengthen damaged areas of the teeth and gums, as well as improve the tooth’s shape and functionality.
Dental Crowns in Burwood
If you have a large cavity and there isn’t enough tooth structure to support a filling, a crown may be the best option for preserving your existing tooth. Crowns may also be needed to attach a bridge, cover a cracked or damaged tooth, or after a root canal.
Crowns are made of ceramic or porcelain, often mounted to a metal base, and matched to your tooth colour. A dental crowns service in Burwood measures your tooth, makes an impression, and reduces the existing tooth size so the crown fits comfortably.
Dental Bridges in Burwood
Bridges are used if you’re missing one or more teeth to prevent remaining teeth from shifting, which can lead to gum disease, a bad bite, or TMJ. Bridges span the gaps, holding your remaining teeth in place, and are attached to an adjacent tooth or supported with an implant.
Bridges become semi-permanent parts of your mouth. Our practice provides dental bridges service in Burwood to restore your smile and confidence. To care for your crowns and bridges, floss and brush daily, visit your dentist regularly, and avoid very hard or sticky foods.
