Welcome to Gerringong Dental: Expert Dental Crown and Bridge Solutions

At Gerringong Dental, we recognize the importance of a smile that boosts your confidence. Whether you’re dealing with damaged teeth or missing teeth, our dental crown and bridge treatments offer an effective way to restore the function and aesthetics of your smile. Conveniently located in Gerringong, we are dedicated to providing high-quality dental care that’s tailored to your individual needs.

Understanding Dental Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are commonly used restorative treatments that can enhance both the functionality and appearance of your teeth. These prosthetic devices are designed to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth and provide a natural, comfortable solution for your smile.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown acts as a protective “cap” placed over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often recommended for teeth that are cracked, severely decayed, or otherwise compromised and can’t be repaired with fillings.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a prosthetic appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. It spans the gap created by the missing tooth or teeth, with anchors (abutments) on each side made from healthy teeth, ensuring stability and a secure fit.

The Process of Getting Dental Crowns and Bridges

Getting a dental crown or bridge at Gerringong Dental is a simple and straightforward process, typically involving several key steps:

1. Initial Consultation and Assessment

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation by our dentist. We’ll assess your oral health, take X-rays if needed, and discuss the best treatment options for you. We’ll ensure that you understand every step of the process, addressing any concerns you may have.

2. Preparing the Tooth (For Crowns)

If you’re receiving a crown, the next step involves preparing the tooth. This may require removing damaged or decayed portions of the tooth to ensure the crown fits securely. In some cases, the tooth may need to be built up using a filling material to create a stable foundation.

3. Custom Impressions and Design

Next, we’ll take impressions of your teeth to create a custom-designed crown or bridge that fits perfectly. If you’re receiving a bridge, we will also prepare the adjacent teeth to serve as anchors for the prosthetic.

4. Temporary Restoration

While your custom crown or bridge is being made, we’ll place a temporary restoration over your tooth. This ensures that you can continue to eat, speak, and smile comfortably until your permanent restoration is ready.

5. Final Placement of Your Crown or Bridge

When your custom crown or bridge is ready, you’ll return to Gerringong Dental for the final fitting. We’ll carefully place and adjust the restoration to ensure a comfortable fit and a natural appearance. Once everything is perfect, we’ll securely bond the restoration in place.

6. Follow-Up Care

After your procedure, we’ll schedule follow-up visits to ensure your crown or bridge is working well and that you’re not experiencing any issues. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene practices will help maintain the health of your restoration.
