Crown and bridges can be used to restore the natural beauty of your smile. They are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto the existing teeth or implants by a dentist. Crowns are most commonly used to completely cover or ‘cap’ a damaged tooth or an implant. Dental bridges, on the other hand, primarily are used to cover a space if you’re missing one or more teeth. Our goal at Springvale Dental Clinic is to provide dentistry that is undetectable with our crowns and bridges. We create crowns and bridges with restorations that feel and look just like your natural teeth. Where the extent of damage to a patient’s teeth is extreme, and apparently beyond repair, our dentist can use porcelain to make your smile appear as new. If you have a damaged tooth, a crown or bridge can be a solution to your problem. Our dentist at Springvale Dental Clinic will work with you to determine which one is the best option for you. All our Crowns & bridges are made locally in labs around Melbourne with long lasting & high quality materials. This also ensures quick turnaround time for your Crowns & Bridges.
If you are out there looking for a durable solution to a decayed, damaged or unsightly teeth that do not require removal, dental crowns may be what you need. Dental crowns can help repair the structure and function of any damaged tooth and restore your smile. The primary purpose of a crown is to act as a protective cap for the damaged tooth.

When you lose a tooth due to different reasons, it does not only cause unsightly gap. A missing tooth will bring about the additional strain on the adjacent teeth, bone loss of the jaw and can also affect your speech and ability to chew properly. Bridges provide a good option for fixing missing teeth and preventing any harmful side effects. Since dental bridges are custom made, they can restore the natural contour of the teeth; they are barely noticeable and can also restore the proper bite relationship between the lower and upper teeth.

Crowns are commonly used to cover or cap a damaged tooth or implant, while dental bridges are used to cover a space if you’re missing one or more teeth.
Yes. Bridges are mainly used to cover gaps at the front teeth and can be matched with the natural tooth colour. They are cost effective option when multiple teeth are missing.
A crown can cost between $1200 to $1500 depending on the material used. The Cost of a bridge will depend on the material being used and the number of units. For example a 3 unit bridge can cost between $4500 to $4900. Every patient is different and the cost will depend on their individual circumstance.
If the tooth is damaged but can still work, a crown is the better option. If the tooth is missing, leaving a gap, then a bridge is one of the options. Talk to our dentists at Springvale Dental Clinic to make an informed decision.
The procedure is not painful because local anaesthesia is used. However, immediately after the crown has been placed, it’s normal to feel tender for a few days.
