Crowns, Veneers & Bridges in the Heart of Melbourne

Dental Crowns

A crown or "cap" is placed over a broken down or cracked tooth to strengthen its structure whilst simultaneously improving aesthetics. A crown is shaped like a tooth and covers the portion of the tooth that lies above the gum.

Reasons you may need a crown include:

  • To protect a worn-down tooth
  • To minimise risk of breaking a tooth after Root Canal Treatment
  • To mask discoloured teeth
  • To improve the shape and misalignment of teeth

Dental Bridges

Bridges replace a missing tooth or teeth, which is achieved by inserting crowns on the neighboring teeth to connect and support a porcelain tooth within the gap.

Some benefits of replacing a missing tooth with a bridge includes:

  • Restoring your smile and confidence
  • Restoring your facial tissues
  • Restoring your ability to chew and speak properly
  • Preventing neighboring teeth from moving

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are a thin layer of porcelain placed on the front of teeth to effectively rectify staining, discolouration, chipping or gaps. They even have the potential to straighten the look of crooked teeth without the use of orthodontics. The thin nature of the veneer levels out any imperfections and can provide a fantastic aesthetic outcome.
