Same-Day Crowns and Dental Bridges in Brisbane

Your regular dental check-ups and cleans, together with good home care, do much to prevent most oral health conditions. But at some time, you may require a dental restoration that utilises a dental crown, and Edward St Dental is here to help. With same-day crowns in Brisbane, we can restore your tooth’s functionality and aesthetic beauty.

A crown caps off a damaged tooth and covers it for lasting protection and preservation. Crowns are popular because they are customised, durable and fashioned to look exactly like your original tooth. With porcelain crowns from our dental clinic, you can smile with confidence.

If you need a dental bridge, we will happily help with that as well. You have options for maintaining your oral health.

CEREC Technology for Single-Visit Crowns in Brisbane

With other types of crowns, a nearby lab usually fabricates the final crown outside the dental clinic. As a result, a patient has to make multiple trips to complete the process, making it inconvenient and more costly.

We offer the most effective restorative procedure available to dental patients today: CEREC (Chair-side Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics). This process produces porcelain ceramic crowns and inlays while you wait. As a result, we can now achieve a process that once took several weeks and multiple dental visits in one appointment.

When you require a dental appliance to address damage on multiple teeth at once, Dr Pulvirenti may recommend a porcelain bridge. This restoration includes a light frame with an attached dental crown to fill the gap. 

The word 'bridge' describes how this restoration replaces the missing tooth while being connected to the adjacent supporting teeth. The resulting appliance is also securely cemented, so patients don't remove it for cleaning or eating. A dental bridge resembles and functions like natural, attractive teeth.

CEREC uses leading-edge computer technology where a camera works with CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software to replicate and produce a tooth restoration all at once. The process starts with a 3-D scan of the area to create an optical impression.

This impression is fed into the CAD software so Dr Matthew Pulvirenti can design a new restoration. A milling machine uses this design to create a ceramic restoration. This restoration is then polished and installed over the remaining damaged tooth structure. The required time varies for each patient, but the general process takes between 1-2 hours, with only a portion of time in the chair. Worldwide studies show that CEREC restorations are the longest-lasting dental filling material available today. They result in tooth restorations that look, feel and function like natural teeth.

Imagine waiting comfortably in your treatment room while we create your restoration and leaving our dental clinic with a beautiful, healthy smile.
