What is Dental Crowns And Bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are fixed dental restorations used to repair damaged teeth or replace missing teeth. A dental crown (sometimes called a tooth cap) covers and strengthens a weakened, broken, or heavily restored tooth. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighbouring teeth or, in some cases, dental implants. At Primary Dental, crowns and bridges are provided following clinical assessment and personalised treatment planning to support chewing function, appearance, and long-term oral health.

What to expect

1. Assessment and treatment planning

A dental practitioner will assess the tooth/teeth and discuss whether a crown, bridge, or another option (such as a filling, implant or denture) is recommended. X-rays may be taken to assess tooth structure, infection risk, and gum health.

2. Tooth preparation and impressions

If a crown or bridge is recommended, the tooth/teeth are prepared to support the restoration. Impressions may be taken using traditional methods or digital scanning, depending on the centre and clinical requirements, so the restoration can be custom-made to suit your bite, shape and tooth colour.

3. Temporary crown/bridge (if required)

A temporary restoration may be placed to protect the tooth and maintain appearance and function while the final crown or bridge is being made.

4. Final placement and review

At a follow-up visit, the final crown or bridge is fitted, adjusted for comfort and bite alignment, and then secured in place. Aftercare advice and ongoing review guidance will be provided.

    I’ve been to many dental centres in Sydney and I must say this is one of the best dental service I’ve experienced. The location is so convenient, only 2 min walk from Town Hall. Staffs are supper friendly and gentle. They also offer very affordable price and you can pay with afferpay or zippay, which is amazing! Will definitely be back!

    I do enjoy the friendly and helpful staff, it’s makes all the difference. I will be the first to admit the dentist is my least favourite place to go however after my first visit for a general check up, I felt very confident and pleased with my appointment from Dr Brett Moore. He is compassionate and caring :)
