Same-Day Crowns and Dental Bridges in Brisbane City

Structural differences generally make a dental crown stronger than a filling. Dental crowns and tooth-coloured fillings are both tooth restoration options, but each one works differently. We aim to use the most appropriate dental restoration for your specific case at Edward St Dental. This goal is essential as our dental team strives to save as much natural tooth material as possible.

A dental crown is made from a single, engineered piece of ceramic which we create as a complete tooth cover, like a hard hat or helmet. In contrast, a dental filling starts as a semi-solid composite resin material which our Brisbane dentists use to fill a hole or pit in your tooth caused by tooth decay.

Dental Crowns Restore Heavily Damaged Teeth

So, while a dental crown is stronger, it also requires that we remove significant amounts of the tooth to ensure a tight fit. On the other hand, a composite tooth filling is ideal for minor cavities and tooth damage because it’s a method that conserves as much of your tooth as possible.

That’s why we recommend dental crowns in Brisbane for only the most damaged teeth because their strength and durability allow us to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted. The best news is that regardless of which dental restoration you need, the team at Edward St Dental can likely supply it in a single visit.

A CEREC dental crown is as durable and beautiful as a lab-created crown, but it cuts out the middle man by being created in-clinic instead of an outside lab.

Dental crowns are a type of restoration that your Edward St Dental dentist uses in various restoration situations. The crown itself looks exactly like a tooth and fits on multiple foundations to replace its look and function.

Dentists use dental crowns to finish root canals and dental implants and add them to dental bridges and other restorations that replace many teeth. Up until recently, most dental crowns were created in a lab from high-quality materials in a process that could take weeks.

CEREC Crowns Process in Brisbane City

CEREC technology uses a camera and CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Manufacture) software to replicate and produce a tooth restoration all at once.

We start the process with a 3-D scan of the area to create an optical impression. This digital image is fed into the CAD software so that we can design a new restoration. Next, we use an in-house milling machine to make the porcelain restoration, polishing and placing it.

The time it takes to build the CEREC crown varies for each patient, but in general, the bulk of the process requires between 1 ½ to 2 hours at the clinic, with only part of that time spent in the chair.

CEREC crowns, or same-day crowns, restore a prepared tooth using digital scanning and milling technology. Dentists can create and fit the crown in a single appointment. Like other dental crowns, CEREC crowns can restore the function and appearance of teeth that have been damaged or weakened.

Caring for CEREC Crowns

One generally cares for CEREC crowns in the same way as traditional crowns. Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and flossing around the crown helps support the surrounding teeth and gums. Avoiding very hard foods or habits such as chewing ice may reduce the risk of chipping or wear, although outcomes vary between individuals.

Regular Dental Visits

We recommend attending regular dental appointments in Brisbane City. During these visits, your dentist can assess the condition of your dental crowns, including CEREC crowns, and monitor your overall oral health. These appointments help identify any changes in the crown or surrounding teeth and gums.
