Dental Crowns & Bridges in Bayswater & Cranbourne

Teeth can weaken, break, or go missing over time, making it harder to eat and speak. This can also lower confidence. Crowns and bridges restore both function and appearance, helping you maintain a healthy smile.

At Aura Dentists, we provide custom-made crowns and bridges to strengthen or replace teeth. Our experienced dentists in Cranbourne and Bayswater use advanced materials to ensure natural-looking, long-lasting results.

What are dental crowns & bridges?

Dental Crowns:

A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged, weak, or decayed tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, and strength while protecting it from further damage. Crowns are also used after root canal treatment to reinforce the treated tooth.

They come in different materials, including porcelain, zirconia, gold, metal alloys, or a combination. Each crown is designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth for a seamless look.

Dental Bridges:

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. This helps restore your bite and improves your appearance.

Bridges also prevent nearby teeth from shifting, which maintains proper alignment. Depending on your needs, bridges can be fixed in place or supported by implants for extra stability.

When do you need a crown or bridge?

When a tooth is damaged, missing, or weakened, a crown or bridge is recommended. These restorations help restore function, improve appearance, and protect surrounding teeth from further damage.

When a Crown Is Needed

A dental crown is used when a tooth is cracked, broken, or severely decayed. If a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a crown provides extra strength and protection. It is also necessary after a root canal treatment to prevent further weakening. Some patients choose crowns to improve the look of misshapen or discolored teeth, enhancing their overall smile.

When a Bridge Is Needed

A dental bridge is ideal for replacing missing teeth. Gaps in your smile can make chewing and speaking more difficult while causing surrounding teeth to shift out of place. A bridge fills the space and keeps adjacent teeth stable. It also offers a more secure, long-term alternative to removable dentures, improving both function and appearance.

The crowns & bridges process at Aura Dentists

Our dental crowns and bridges process is super simple and involves 3 steps.

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

The process begins with a detailed dental examination to assess your oral health. Based on your condition, the dentist will determine whether a crown or bridge is the best option. X-rays may also be taken to check the strength of your teeth and bone structure. You will also receive information about material choices and costs, allowing you to make an informed decision.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation & Impressions

If a crown is needed, the affected tooth is carefully shaped to create a secure fit. For a bridge, the supporting teeth are prepared to hold the restoration in place. Once the teeth are ready, the dentist takes an impression to design a custom-fit crown or bridge. A temporary restoration is placed to protect the area while the permanent one is being made in the lab.

Step 3: Permanent Crown or Bridge Placement

Once the custom crown or bridge is ready, the dentist ensures it fits properly before securing it in place. Any necessary adjustments are made to improve comfort and bite alignment. The final restoration is cemented, and the dentist provides instructions on how to care for it to ensure long-lasting results.

Types of crowns & bridges available

Dental Crowns

Different types of crowns are available based on durability, aesthetics, and function.

Porcelain crowns blend seamlessly with natural teeth, making them ideal for front teeth.

Zirconia crowns are highly durable and resistant to wear, offering a long-lasting solution.

Gold crowns provide exceptional strength, particularly for molars that handle heavy chewing.

Metal-ceramic crowns combine durability with a natural appearance, making them a balanced option for strength and aesthetics.

E.max crowns are strong, natural-looking ceramic caps that restore damaged or discolored teeth while blending seamlessly with your smile.

Dental Bridges

Bridges vary based on how they are supported and the number of missing teeth they replace.

Traditional bridges use adjacent teeth for support, creating a stable and reliable restoration.

Cantilever bridges are attached to a single supporting tooth, making them suitable when only one neighboring tooth is available.

Implant-supported bridges provide the most secure option, as they are anchored to dental implants rather than natural teeth, ensuring extra stability and longevity.

The benefits of crowns & bridges

Restores Function

Crowns and bridges allow you to chew and speak properly by replacing missing or weakened teeth. They help distribute bite force evenly, reducing strain on other teeth.

Prevents Further Damage

A crown protects a weak or broken tooth from worsening, while a bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth. This prevents surrounding teeth from shifting and helps maintain a balanced bite.

Improves Appearance

A dental bridge restores a complete smile by filling gaps left by missing teeth. Crowns improve the shape, size, and color of damaged or discolored teeth, enhancing overall appearance.

Blends with Natural Teeth

Crowns and bridges are designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, making them virtually unnoticeable. They provide a seamless look that blends with your existing smile.

Long-Lasting Solution

With proper care, crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or more. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene help extend their lifespan, ensuring durability over time.

Aftercare & maintenance

✔ Maintain Good Oral Hygiene – Brush and floss regularly to prevent plaque buildup and reduce the risk of decay and gum disease.

✔ Use a Soft-Bristled Toothbrush – This ensures gentle cleaning without scratching or damaging the surface of your crown or bridge.

✔ Avoid Hard and Sticky Foods – Hard foods like nuts, ice, and candies can crack crowns, while sticky foods can loosen a bridge over time.

✔ Schedule Regular Dental Check-Ups – Routine visits allow your dentist to check the fit and strength of your restoration, detecting any issues early.

✔ Wear a Mouthguard if You Grind Your Teeth – A mouthguard helps protect your crowns and bridges from excessive pressure and damage during sleep.

✔ Follow Your Dentist’s Care Instructions – Proper maintenance can help your crowns and bridges last 10–15 years or longer.

The cost of crowns and bridges varies based on:

✔ The material used (ceramic, zirconia, metal).

✔ The complexity of the treatment.

✔ Whether dental implants are required for support.

At Aura Dentists, we offer:
