Dental crowns and bridges are trusted, long-lasting solutions for restoring damaged teeth and replacing missing ones. At Bilby Dental in Yarrabilba, we use high-quality materials and precision techniques to create restorations that look completely natural and function beautifully for years to come.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, decayed, cracked or heavily filled tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. Crowns are also used to protect a tooth after root canal treatment, or to cover a dental implant. Modern porcelain and ceramic crowns are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
A dental bridge literally bridges the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to crowns placed on the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges are a fixed, non-removable solution that restore both function and aesthetics — allowing you to chew, speak and smile confidently.
Crowns are recommended when a tooth has extensive decay or damage that cannot be repaired with a filling, when a tooth has cracked, when a tooth has had root canal treatment and needs protection, or to improve the appearance of severely stained or misshapen teeth. Bridges are recommended when one or more teeth are missing and you want a fixed (non-removable) solution without surgery.
Crown and bridge treatment typically involves two appointments. At the first visit, we prepare the tooth (or teeth), take detailed impressions, and fit a temporary restoration. At the second visit, your custom permanent crown or bridge is fitted and adjusted to your bite. We use digital impressions where possible for greater accuracy and comfort.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or longer. It’s important to brush and floss carefully around your crown or bridge, and visit us every six months for your checkup and clean.
Crowns and bridges are often partially covered by dental extras cover. As a preferred provider for Medibank, TUH, NIB and CBHS, our fees are structured to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. We also offer Afterpay and Zip Pay for flexible payment options.
