We examine the teeth, supporting tissues and bite.
Crowns & bridges
Crowns & bridges
in Hurstville.
Personalised restorations for damaged or missing teeth, with function and comfort in mind.
Support for the teeth you rely on
A crown covers a tooth to help restore its shape and function. A bridge replaces a missing tooth or teeth using support from neighbouring teeth or implants. At our Hurstville practice, we assess the teeth and gums involved and explain which restorative approaches may be appropriate.
What we can discuss
- Assessment of heavily restored, fractured or worn teeth
- Crown options following root canal treatment when indicated
- Bridge options for selected missing-tooth spaces
- Discussion of materials, cleaning and maintenance
Making an informed choice
Preparation of natural teeth may be needed. Crowns and bridges can wear, loosen or need replacement, and supporting teeth remain vulnerable to decay and gum problems. Alternatives may include a filling, implant, denture or monitoring, depending on your needs.
What to expect
One step at a time.
Plan the restoration
Discuss the proposed design, material, preparation and fees.
Fit & review
Check the restoration, explain cleaning and arrange review as needed.

Helpful answers
Your questions,
talked through.
Do I need a crown or a filling?
This depends on how much healthy tooth remains, the bite and other factors. Your dentist will explain the reasons for a recommendation.
How do I clean a bridge?
Cleaning under and around a bridge is important. Your clinician can demonstrate suitable flossing or interdental aids.
Can a crown or bridge need replacement?
Yes. Regular examinations help monitor the restoration and the teeth or implants that support it.
