Crowns and Bridges
Mermaid Beach Custom Dentistry
A healthy, confident smile depends on functional teeth that support your ability to speak clearly, enjoy your favourite foods, and express yourself with ease. But if a broken or missing tooth is interfering with your lifestyle, comfort, or self-esteem, it may be time to consider a custom restoration. At Mermaid Smiles, our expertly crafted porcelain crowns and bridges are designed to restore both beauty and function – so you can get back to living life fully.
Crowns and bridges may be ideal if you want to:
- Restore the shape, strength and appearance of a damaged or decayed tooth.
- Replace one or more missing teeth with a fixed, natural-looking option.
- Avoid further complications like shifting teeth or bite misalignment.
Rebuild Your Smile with Confidence
A healthy, well-balanced smile plays a vital role in how you feel – whether you’re enjoying a favourite meal, speaking with ease, or simply sharing a moment with someone special. When teeth are damaged or missing, it can interrupt this natural flow and affect your wellbeing. At Mermaid Smiles, our custom-made crowns and bridges are designed to restore not just the function of your teeth, but the beauty and confidence that comes with a complete, comfortable smile.
Crowns: Full Coverage Protection
Sometimes called “caps”, dental crowns protect the portion of teeth extending above the gums. They’re recommended when a tooth has experienced such structural damage that it cannot support a smaller restoration (like a filling). Crowns fully cover the tooth up to the soft tissues, allowing them to withstand normal biting and chewing. Plus, the porcelain is matched to neighbouring teeth so that the crown is less noticeable.
Dental Bridges: Filling in the Gap
Missing teeth leave more than just a visible space in your smile. They can also cause the surrounding teeth to drift out of alignment. Additionally, if you’re using one side of your mouth to chew more than the other, it can lead to abnormal wear. A bridge fills in the open area left behind by suspending a crown or two between two functional ones, with the crowns on each end being attached to supporting teeth or dental implants. Unlike a denture or partial, bridges are not removable.
Functional and Aesthetic
Even though crowns and bridges are designed to restore strength and function, they also play a key role in the look and longevity of your smile. With thoughtful planning, high-quality materials, and a few simple care habits at home, your restoration can remain comfortable, beautiful, and durable for years to come.
Here’s how we help you protect your investment:
-
Seamless appearance: Custom-matched to blend with your smile. -
Night-time protection: Wear a guard to prevent grinding damage. -
Daily care: Clean gently around gums and floss with care
