Smile Gallery: Crowns and Bridges
*The images shown in our Smile Gallery are examples of dental treatments provided at our practice. Individual results will vary depending on each patient’s dental needs and circumstances.
In many instances, damaged or decayed teeth might seem too compromised to salvage, leading to considerations of removal. However, there's always hope! At our Mount Waverley dental practice, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile to preserve the natural beauty and function of our patients' teeth. This time was no exception.
Our highly-trained and experienced dental professionals successfully breathed new life into this patient's smile. Through a meticulously performed root canal treatment, followed by the placement of a custom-made dental crown, we ensured longevity and aesthetics.
Custom Dental Crowns in Mount Waverley, VIC
Your smile deserves personalised and attentive care, and here ...
A missing tooth replaced with a Maryland bridge. In the right situation, this can be a long lasting, conservative option to replace a missing tooth without the need to drill. It is bonded securely to the adjacent tooth with a strong resin.
Large amalgam fillings very often lead to the fracturing of teeth over time. This tooth had a large amalgam filling which had begun to leak, allowing bacteria to enter and cause decay. It also had a fractured cusp and several other developing fractures. If left untreated, further breakdown would have lead to toothache and possibly the need for extraction. Here a crown was placed, giving it a new hard wearing outer shell that will prolong the life of this tooth.
Not only do crowns help protect teeth against fracture, they blend in naturally to match the surrounding teeth. Function and aesthetics restored.
Two old crowns had served their purpose well for many years. As with most things, they started to break down and were in need of replacement. Replaced with two hand crafted, layered emax crowns for a perfect combination of strength and aesthetics.
A patient came to our Mount Waverley clinic with a chipped porcelain fused to metal crown. After a detailed assessment, we recommended replacing it with a new zirconia bridge. The procedure was carried out smoothly, and the patient left with a fully restored and aesthetically pleasing smile. The zirconia bridge not only offers enhanced durability but also blends seamlessly with the natural teeth.
