Dental Crowns on the Sunshine Coast
When do we use Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are recommended when a tooth is severely damaged, weakened, or needs to be protected after a root canal treatment. This helps to prevent the tooth from flexing and fracturing further. They can also be a go-to solution for covering discoloured or misshapen teeth when teeth whitening or resin bonding is not a suitable option, restoring your smile’s natural look
Dental Bridges: Bridging the Gap for a Complete Smile
Dental bridges are an excellent solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. We offer dental bridges to restore your smile’s functionality and appearance.
When do we use Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are recommended when you have one or more adjacent missing teeth. By anchoring the replacement teeth to the existing neighbouring, natural teeth or dental implants, bridges help maintain proper oral function and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting.
In some cases bridges are not always the best option to replace missing teeth. This is something that would be assessed and discussed at your check-up or consultation appointment with Dr McLean. Together you can come up with a plan that best suits you as an individual for the best outcome.
The Process
Our dental crown and bridge procedures typically span over two visits, each approximately one week apart:
During the first visit, our experienced dentist will prepare the affected tooth/teeth by removing any decay or damage. We’ll then take an impression of your tooth, which will be used to craft a custom crown/bridge that perfectly fits your bite and smile. Before you leave, we’ll place a temporary crown/bridge to protect the prepared tooth while the lab fabricates your beautiful crown/bridge.
On the second visit, your custom-made crown/bridge will be ready. Our team will remove the temporary crown/bridge and replace it with the finished crown/bridge. We ensure the perfect fit, comfort, and appearance, making any necessary adjustments to guarantee a seamless integration with your natural teeth.
