Crowns are single caps usually done in order to minimise the risk of the tooth fracturing (which may then necessitate the removal of the tooth).
Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring onto the adjacent teeth or implants through crowns.
1
Preparation and Temporary Crown
Your dentist will numb the area and prepare the affected tooth or teeth by carefully reducing their size to accommodate the crown's thickness. We then take a detailed digital scan and place a temporary crown to seal and protect the tooth. The scan is sent to a premium Australian-based lab for fabrication, which can take 2 - 3 weeks.
2
Crown Placement
We expertly fit and cement the permanent crown or bridge, removing the temporary one and making any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
At Soothe Dental Goulburn, we prioritise a smooth and comfortable patient experience. Our use of advanced techniques and cutting-edge technology ensure your dental crowns and bridges fit perfectly and function seamlessly, enhancing your smile with lasting results.

Durability

Prevention of Dental Shifts
Bridges prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting into the gap left by missing teeth, maintaining proper alignment.
Dental crowns are caps placed over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their shape, strength, and appearance.
Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring onto the adjacent teeth or implants, creating a seamless dental restoration.
Crowns are usually done in order to minimise the risk of the tooth fracturing (which may then necessitate the removal of the tooth). Whether this needs to be done is often a judgment call.
At Soothe Dental Goulburn, we utilise advanced technology and high-quality materials to create crowns and bridges that blend perfectly with your natural teeth. Our experienced team ensures each restoration is tailored to your specific needs for optimal functionality and aesthetics.
Dental crowns and bridges can last between 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care and maintenance. Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, the material used, and the individual’s habits, such as grinding teeth or chewing hard objects.
Soothe Dental Goulburn provides durable and high-quality crowns and bridges designed to stand the test of time. We also offer guidance on maintaining your restorations to extend their lifespan and keep your smile healthy.
Dental insurance plans often partially cover dental crowns and bridges, especially when deemed medically necessary. However, coverage can vary, so it’s important to check with your insurance provider for specific details.
Soothe Dental Goulburn assists patients in understanding their insurance benefits and provides detailed cost estimates. Sometimes, we can even do a health fund check on how much you get back before the procedure. We aim to make the financial aspect of your dental care as transparent and stress-free as possible.
While dental crowns and bridges are generally safe, potential risks include tooth sensitivity, discomfort, potential need for root canal treatment or allergic reactions to the materials used. In rare cases, the crown or bridge may become loose or fall off if not properly cared for. Before deciding on a dental crown or bridge, our team will always discuss and weigh the risks and benefits so that you know you are making the right decision.
At Soothe Dental Goulburn, we minimise these risks by using high-quality materials and ensuring strict quality control. Before continuing, we ensure that every step is performed at our highest standard. Our team can always address concerns or complications, ensuring dental health and satisfaction.
Signs that you might need a dental crown or bridge include persistent pain, difficulty chewing, noticeable tooth damage, or missing teeth. These symptoms indicate that your teeth may require additional support and restoration.
Soothe Dental Goulburn offers comprehensive evaluations to determine the best treatment for your dental issues. Our goal is to restore oral health and enhance your smile with appropriate and effective solutions.
