Crowns & Bridges & Veneers in Adelaide

Our practice prides itself on using the best materials and technology for our crowns, bridges, and veneers. Our dentists spend time assessing and explaining to you your suitability and need for any of these treatments.
Dental Crown and Veneer

Crowns: A cover/cap over the tooth to restore strength and appearance, preventing fractures. All our crowns are fabricated out of Zirconia or Porcelain. These are very safe and robust materials while also providing a life-like appearance to match the colour of the rest of your teeth. Crowning a tooth/teeth is the strongest restoration we have in dentistry.

A dental crown may be recommended for a tooth for various purposes, these include:

  • Teeth with extensive fillings
  • Root Canal Treated Teeth
  • Extensive Rehabilitation/Re-build of the mouth
  • Severe wear or erosion of teeth. 
  • Weak teeth

Bridges are similar to crowns and can be used to close the gap between two teeth. They stay permanently in the mouth and can give you the confidence to eat and speak comfortably.

Veneers are thin layers of porcelain or resin material placed over tooth surfaces to improve their aesthetic appearance. Your smile can be transformed within 1-2 appointments, and the outcomes are stunning.

At Alpha Dental & Implant Centre, both options dramatically improve your smile, and our dentists can help you decide which is most appropriate.

Fun Fact:

Generally foods and drinks that are high in sugar and acid are harmful to tooth enamel. Acidic foods and drinks (soft drinks, citric juices, sports drinks) can cause tooth erosion while high sugar content is more likely to contribute to tooth decay (cavities).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I eat normally with crowns and bridges?

Yes, you can eat normally with crowns and bridges. You should avoid overly hard or sticky foods at first. They can put stress on your new restorations. Once your mouth has adapted, you can eat your favourite foods.

Are crowns and bridges painful to get?

Crowns and bridges are usually performed under local anaesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure. Some sensitivity may occur after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days.

What are crowns and bridges made of?

Crowns and bridges can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination. Porcelain is often favoured for a more natural look, but metal materials are durable. Your dentist will assist you in selecting the most suitable material for your needs.

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With good care, crowns and bridges can last as short as 5 years and as long as 15 years or longer. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding hard foods could prolong their lifespan.

How do I care for my crowns and bridges?

Caring for crowns and bridges is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and use an antibacterial mouthwash. Regular dental visits are crucial to the longevity of your restorations.
