If you have damaged or missing teeth, dental crowns and bridges may be suitable for you. These restorative treatment options can help improve strength and function to your bite. At Albany Place Dental Practice, Albany Creek, we customise dental crowns and bridges to help protect your damaged teeth and replace missing ones, while focusing on your long-term oral health.
Protects a weak tooth from fracturing under pressure.
Rebuilds a tooth that has already broken or been severely worn down.
Often the final step after a root canal treatment to ensure the tooth remains functional for chewing and biting.
Covers misshapen or severely discoloured teeth to improve the symmetry of your smile.
Unlike a partial denture, a bridge is permanently bonded in place and does not need to be removed for cleaning.
If treatment is suitable, the affected tooth or teeth are gently prepared to allow space for the restoration. This step is completed with care and only when clinically appropriate.
We take precise digital scans to ensure your crown or bridge is made to fit comfortably and function naturally. These records are used to design a restoration that suits your bite and surrounding teeth.
We’ll provide simple guidance on how to care for your crown or bridge at home. Regular check-ups with your local dentist in Albany Creek will help maintain long-term oral health and function.

A well-maintained crown or bridge in Australia typically lasts between 10 and 15 years. With meticulous oral hygiene and regular clinical check-ups, many restorations can remain functional for 20 years or longer. Their longevity depends on the material used (such as Zirconia or Porcelain) and the health of the underlying tooth or gums.
Yes, absolutely. While the ceramic or porcelain crown itself cannot decay, the natural tooth structure underneath and the gum line around it are still susceptible to bacteria. Meticulous brushing and flossing are essential to prevent “under-crown” decay, which is the most common reason these restorations fail prematurely.
