Restore Your Smile with Dental Crowns and Bridges in Shepparton
Dental Crowns
A full coverage dental crown is used to restore a badly damaged tooth and protect the entire structure of the tooth.
Our dental crowns look and feel like natural teeth. They are strong, durable, and designed to last for many years.
Why Would I Need a Dental Crown?
Sometimes a tooth can become weakened to the point where its strength is compromised. This may happen:
- When there is a large filling in the tooth, which can cause stress on the remaining structure as the filling expands and contracts with biting forces.
- If you’ve had a root canal treatment — this can dry the tooth, making it more brittle and prone to fracture or discolouration.
- When a tooth is fractured or cracked and needs a crown to hold it together and prevent further damage.
A crown may also be your best option if you’re unable to achieve your desired appearance through other treatment methods.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a reliable way to restore your smile when one or more teeth are missing.
We often recommend a bridge for patients who have lost a tooth, leaving a gap between healthy teeth on either side. Our dentists can close this gap by placing dental crowns on the neighbouring teeth and attaching a false tooth between them, creating a seamless, functional result.
Benefits of a Dental Bridge
A dental bridge can:
- Close the gap created by a missing tooth
- Improve your ability to chew and enjoy the foods you love
- Prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting out of alignment
- Restore the natural look of your smile
- Boost your confidence with a complete, healthy-looking set of teeth
