Patients who seek a replacement for a missing tooth can be advised to get Dental Crown Treatment for restoring their complete smile. A custom made dental crown can also be put on a chipped or a broken tooth to protect it from most ailments.
The tooth crown used in such procedures is made by our experienced dentist at Dentist Sunshine to identically match the size and shape of the adjacent teeth along with their colour.
In cases where a patient has lost a dental implant crown that was previously attached, a new custom made dental implant crown is used to balance the bite. Using a pole, the dental crown is bonded with the implant to the bone which can last for more than five years with proper care.
When the gums of a patient do not have the integrity to hold a dental crown by itself then bridges are used to replace the gap. Bridges can be permanent or temporarily removable in the form of dentures. The latter requires more care too because they require added support.
Our dentists are focused on providing you services that prevent your teeth from deterioration. With the help of our dental implant crown and tooth crown procedures, you can reap the following advantages:
A broken tooth can be protected from any further damage.
A weak tooth with or without filling can be salvaged.
Both dental implant crown and tooth crown can be used as anchors to support a bridge.
Dental implants can be capped with tooth crowns for further protection and better appearance.
Poor oral hygiene can be repaired by placing multiple dental crowns.
Benefits of Bridges
We believe that your purpose should be matched with the services we provide for your welfare. Thus the use of bridges has the following benefits:
You get superior chewing comfort.
Balanced and distributed biting force improves the life of the other teeth.
Improves your speech and the shape of your mouth.
Bridge restoration can be performed in a few visits only.
Any moving or loose teeth can be comparatively retained for a long time.
Crowns are made with high-quality materials such as metal, zirconia, ceramic, and so on to make the following treatments possible at Dentist Sunshine Australia:
Temporary Tooth Crown
It is placed on your teeth for a limited time while your permanent crown is being prepared. It is fixed to the tooth by using dental adhesive.
One Day Tooth Crown
This type of tooth crown is made immediately in the office after our dentists determine the shape, size, and colour of the replacement tooth. Advanced computational techniques are used by our experienced dentists to accurately match the custom crown with your original teeth.
Onlays
It is not always required that you use a full crown to protect your teeth. In such cases, we can provide an onlay that covers only a portion of the teeth. It cannot be ideally placed as a dental implant crown.
Types of Dental Bridges & Procedures
There are mainly four types of dental bridges that are used widely to provide the above mentioned benefits to the patients.
Traditional
Within this treatment, a false tooth is placed between two supportive crowns with dental cement. This bridge is then placed on the existing natural teeth to fill the gap of the missing tooth.
You only need one natural tooth next to the missing tooth to place the cantilever bridge. The crown that is placed on the natural tooth could also be a dental implant crown for better strength.

It is similar to the traditional bridge except that a frame made of porcelain or metal bonds the bridge together from the inner side with natural teeth to fill the gap of missing the tooth.
Similar to the name, dental implants are made for each tooth wherever possible which are responsible to hold the bridge together. This is comparatively the strongest type of implant which involves first placing the implant into the jawbone followed by placing the bridge in a second surgery.
