Crowns & Bridges

Restore Strength, Function & Beauty to Your Smile

At Serene Family Dental in Ropes Crossing, we know how important it is to have strong, healthy teeth. When teeth are damaged, broken, or missing, everyday activities like chewing and smiling can become difficult. That’s where our custom-made crowns and bridges come in — helping you restore function, protect your teeth, and regain your confidence.

What Are Crowns & Bridges?

Dental Crowns: A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers and protects a weak, damaged, or heavily filled tooth. It restores its natural shape, strength, and appearance.

Dental Bridges: A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth and is made up of crowns on either side of the gap with artificial teeth securely fixed in between. Both crowns and bridges are long-lasting solutions that look and feel just like natural teeth.

When Might You Need a Crown?

  • A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth
  • A tooth weakened by large fillings or decay
  • A tooth after root canal treatment
  • A worn-down or misshapen tooth
  • A cosmetic concern affecting your smile

When Might You Need a Bridge?

  • One or more missing teeth
  • Gaps affecting your chewing or speech
  • Teeth shifting out of place due to missing teeth
  • A desire for a fixed, natural-looking alternative to removable dentures

Benefits of Crowns & Bridges

  • Natural Look & Feel – Custom-designed to match your smile
  • Durable & Long-Lasting – Strong enough to withstand daily chewing
  • Protects Your Teeth – Shields weak teeth from further damage
  • Restores Function – Improves chewing, biting, and speaking
  • Boosts Confidence – Helps you smile freely without gaps or damage

The Procedure – What to Expect

Consultation & Examination: We assess your teeth and discuss whether a crown or bridge is right for you.
Tooth Preparation: Damaged teeth are shaped and cleaned.
Impressions/Scans: We take precise digital scans or moulds to design your custom restoration.
Temporary Crown/Bridge: A temporary solution protects your teeth while the final restoration is made.
Fitting & Bonding: Your permanent crown or bridge is securely fitted and adjusted for comfort.

The process usually takes two visits, but with modern techniques, it’s efficient and comfortable.

Caring for Crowns & Bridges

  • Brush and floss daily (especially around the bridge)
  • Use floss threaders or interdental brushes for cleaning under bridges
  • Avoid chewing very hard foods (ice, hard lollies)
  • Visit us regularly for check-ups and cleans

With proper care, crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or more.
