Crowns and Bridges in Hampton Park

woman getting a dental bridge in hampton park Most of us will need a tooth repaired or replaced throughout the course of our lives, and that’s where restorative dentistry plays an integral role in the health of your smile. We offer high-quality porcelain crowns and bridges as well as tooth-coloured restorations at our Hampton Park dental clinic to keep your smile healthy, beautiful and provide the function you need to chew and enjoy your food.

What Is a Dental Crown and When Do I Need One?

A crown covers your entire tooth, mimicking its shape and shade, so it blends flawlessly with your smile. Porcelain crowns provide excellent durability and beautiful aesthetics, so you’ll have a restoration you can rely on for many years.

Our dentists may recommend a tooth crown in these situations:

To strengthen a tooth that’s had root canal treatment
To restore a severely fractured, broken, or cracked tooth
To replace an old broken-down filling
To be a single-tooth replacement for a dental implant
To cover an oddly shaped or discoloured tooth

Tooth crowns allow you to restore your smile while providing excellent aesthetics and functions and preserving the integrity of your natural tooth.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

If you’re struggling with one or multiple adjacent missing teeth, a dental bridge might be your solution. A bridge consists of sturdy anchor crowns that support one or more prosthetic teeth in between. The crowns anchor to healthy teeth and fill the gaps in your smile so you can smile, chew, talk and eat with ease again.

What’s the Process for Getting a Crown or Dental Bridge in Hampton Park?

Whether you need a tooth crown to restore your smile or a dental bridge to replace missing teeth, the process is similar and straightforward. man with a new dental crown in hampton park

Once you’ve decided upon your restoration with your dentist, we’ll schedule you for two appointments at Hampton Park Dental. During your first visit, our dentist prepares your tooth for its new crown or bridge.

We’ll take impressions of your teeth and share our specifications with a trusted dental lab that will make your restoration. We’ll also create a temporary crown or bridge you’ll wear while the dental lab creates your new restoration.

When your crown or bridge is ready, you’ll return to our dental clinic to have one of our dentists permanently place it. They’ll adjust it as needed to ensure your bite is comfortable and functioning correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer help with accessing my super?

Yes! If you're considering extensive dental treatment, we can help you gain early access to your superannuation funds to help you cover the cost of your treatment. Early super access can be ideal in these situations:

Our team can help you with the paperwork for early super access while a SuperCare representative walks you through the rest of the process. You can contact our team for more information on early super access.

During your evaluation, our dentists discuss your oral health goals with you and gather information about your smile and dental health with an exam, x-rays, and photos of your teeth. After your evaluation, you'll clearly understand your treatment needs and options, what your timeline looks like for finishing, and the cost.
