Dental Crowns & Bridges

Your Teeth’s Helmet

Missing a tooth? Feeling self-conscious about your smile? Dental crowns and bridges may help. They are a common and relatively affordable way to restore teeth, which is part of why they’re a widely chosen option. So if you’re looking for crowns and bridges in Merrylands, we’d be glad to help. 

Dentist Near Me Merrylands should be your go-to clinic for a dental crown & bridge. With our excellent dentists and staff, every dental visit feels like a breeze. Let’s aim to get your teeth the restoration it needs.

What are Crowns & Bridges?

Dental crowns are like helmets over your teeth. When you have damaged teeth, a dental crown can help cover it. But it’s more than just a cover-up. These are strong, durable pieces that can restore the function of your teeth. You don’t have to switch sides when chewing if you have these. Plus, it also completes the aesthetic of your teeth.

At Dentist Near Me, we custom-make your dental crowns and bridges. A mould of your teeth is sent to our lab, where your pieces are made using porcelain and zirconia carrying a 10-year lab guarantee (conditions apply). These materials are popular because they can be made to resemble natural teeth. We take care to fit your crown properly, so you can chew and smile with confidence.

Why You Might Need a Crown

You may need a dental crown in case you have:

  • Weak or Damaged Tooth: A weak or cracked tooth may be the culprit, but a crown can protect it. Sometimes, you might need a root canal before getting the crown.
  • Worn Down or Broken Tooth: A tooth that has lost its shape or is worn down can be your concern. Let’s bring it back to its original look with a crown.
  • Cosmetic Fixes: When you have a badly damaged or discoloured tooth, and you don’t like how it looks, a crown can make it look great again.
  • Covering a Dental Implant: Crowns are perfect for covering dental implants or making other cosmetic changes.

Benefits of Dental Crowns & Bridges

Getting a dental crown comes with heaps of benefits:

  • Better Eating and Chewing: Damaged teeth can make eating a pain. A crown lets you chew comfortably again.
  • Protection from Damage and Infection: Crowns cover vulnerable teeth, keeping them safe from further harm.
  • Stronger Teeth: Think of your tooth as a house. Every filling is like a renovation that weakens the structure a bit. A crown acts like a protective cap, replacing the structural walls and making the tooth strong again. It’s one of the strongest solutions we have in dentistry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would someone need a dental crown?

A crown is used to restore and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. It’s often recommended after root canal treatment, to fix a cracked or worn-down tooth, or to cover a large filling.

A bridge helps replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) between two crowns on healthy adjacent teeth or dental implants.

In Australia, crowns and bridges are commonly made from:

  • Porcelain or ceramic (natural-looking and tooth-coloured)
  • Metal alloys (durable but more visible)
  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal (blends aesthetics and strength)

 

Your dentist will recommend the best option based on the tooth’s location and your preferences.

Dentist Near Me – Toongabbie uses Emax and Zirconia. The clinic prefers Zirconia as it looks better than Porcelain. It is much stronger than your natural tooth. We recommend Zirconia because it offers a more natural appearance than porcelain and is significantly stronger than your natural teeth. It also requires minimal tooth reduction, as the material can be made very thin. 

With good care, crowns and bridges can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Regular check-ups and proper oral hygiene help extend their lifespan.

Yes. Modern crowns and bridges, especially those made from porcelain, are designed to match the shape and colour of your natural teeth, creating a seamless appearance.

The procedure is not painful. Local anaesthetic is used during tooth preparation to keep you comfortable. You might feel some mild sensitivity after, but it usually settles within a few days.

Costs vary depending on materials and complexity:

  • Crowns: $1,200–$2,000 per tooth
  • Bridges: $3,000–$6,000 or more (depending on how many teeth are replaced)


Private health insurance with major dental may help cover part of the cost.

Dentist Near Me – Merrylands. Crown and Bridges is $1,900 per tooth. We do a 10% price beat as long as the patient presents a valid treatment plan from other dentists. We advise a proper assessment so the dentist can provide exact treatment cost. 

Yes, once your final crown or bridge is fitted and settled, you can eat normally. Avoid biting very hard objects or sticky foods that could damage or dislodge it.

  • Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
  • Floss daily, especially around the bridge (you may need floss threaders or interdental brushes)
  • Avoid hard or chewy foods that could loosen the restoration
  • Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups

See your dentist as soon as possible. A loose crown or bridge can allow bacteria to enter, risking decay or infection. In most cases, it can be re-cemented or replaced.

A filling replaces a missing or damaged portion of a tooth, while a crown covers much more of the remaining tooth and can help protect weakened cusps from chewing forces. A crown may be considered when a tooth has a very large restoration, significant structural loss, cracks, or has undergone certain root canal treatments. It is not automatically the right choice simply because a filling is large. The dentist weighs how much healthy tooth remains, the bite, the risk of fracture and whether a more conservative restoration is likely to be durable enough.

Keep the crown if you can find it and contact the clinic for an assessment. Avoid chewing hard foods on the exposed tooth, and do not use household glue or other non-dental adhesives to put the crown back yourself. Sometimes a crown can be cleaned and re-cemented, but if there is decay, a fracture or loss of fit underneath, further treatment may be needed. Seek earlier review if the tooth is painful, sharp, swollen or very sensitive. If the crown was supported by an implant, tell reception when booking because the assessment and components can be different.

A crown can function for many years, but its lifespan is not guaranteed. Longevity depends on the remaining tooth structure, crown material, bite forces, grinding or clenching, oral hygiene, decay risk and whether the tooth has had root canal treatment. The crown itself cannot decay, but the natural tooth at the crown margin can still develop decay or gum problems. Regular dental reviews are therefore important. If a crown becomes loose, cracks or your bite changes, have it assessed early rather than waiting for it to fail completely.
