Dental Crowns & Bridges Near You in Kallangur
Restore your smile and protect your teeth with custom dental crowns and bridges at Prevent Dental Suite, Kallangur.
Our experienced dentists specialise in providing high-quality, natural-looking crowns and bridges designed to strengthen, protect, and enhance your smile.
A dental crown, often called a tooth crown or cap, is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance helping to protect your tooth from future damage.
While there are numerous types of dental crown and bridges available in Kallangur, all made from different materials and manufacturing processes, ceramic materials are the most natural-looking. They are ideal for patients who require a front tooth crown and feel self-conscious about how well the tooth cap is likely to match the surrounding teeth in size, shape, and colour.Â
Dental Crowns and Bridges Kallangur
When Is a Dental Crown Needed?
- Chipped, cracked, broken or fractured teeth
 If you leave a damaged or injured tooth untreated, the tooth may deteriorate further, leading to oral health issues. Dental crowns in Kallangur can help to stabilise the tooth structure while distributing the load stresses that come from biting and chewing.
- Large dental fillings
Large fillings can render the remaining tooth structure vulnerable to chips and fractures. A dental crown can help to restore the strength of your weakened tooth’s dental walls and protect its underlying structure from further damage.
- Severe tooth decay
A dental crown can help to restore a decayed tooth and reduce the risk of further deterioration.
- Post-root canal therapy
Following a root canal procedure, a dental crown is often placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance.
- Cosmetic issues
The dental crown can be customised to conform to the desired shape, size and colour of the treated tooth to improve the appearance of discoloured or misshapen teeth. It can also be used to treat severe tooth discolouration and other cosmetic imperfections.
- Missing teeth
Used in conjunction with dental implants or dental bridges in Kallangur, dental crowns make a viable tooth replacement option.

FAQs
Tooth crowns are a long-term solution for damaged teeth, but they don’t last forever. The average lifespan for a dental crown is typically between 5 and 15 years, although it’s possible to extend the longevity of your tooth cap by taking exceptional care of it. With proper aftercare, excellent dental hygiene habits, and regular dental check-ups, you may find that it can last for decades or potentially even longer. The benefit of a crown is that it protects the tooth underneath. If you were to accidentally chew on something hard, the crown will absorb the force and break off the tooth. This leaves the underlying tooth underneath intact and protected. In most cases, a new crown can then be made over the intact tooth. Without a crown in the same scenario, the tooth may fracture completely, causing a catastrophic loss.
Not exactly a dental crown is a hollow prosthetic tooth that is placed directly over your existing tooth and can be thought of as akin to a protective cover or a helmet. Not only will a tooth crown fortify the structural integrity of the damaged tooth and shield any weak areas that would otherwise soften, decay, or break apart so you can bite and chew without pain or discomfort but it will also restore the aesthetic appearance of your smile, including the colour, shape, and length of the tooth. So, you can smile with confidence.Â

Mostly, dental crowns are made of porcelain. The porcelain is treated to suit the natural colour and shape of your teeth so that it fits well. Some crowns are made of metal too. At Prevent Dental Suite, we use only high-quality materials for dental crowns. Schedule a consultation with us to get details on the dental crown procedure in Kallangur. Â
The entire procedure is typically done under local anaesthesia, so most patients experience minimal discomfort. However, you may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity for a few days.
If your dental crown sustains a minor chip or is damaged, it may be possible for your dentist to repair it or polish it back. However, ceramic crowns are designed to break if a large enough force is applied. This is to protect the underlying tooth. We don’t want all the forces to be transmitted to the roots of the tooth, which may result in a catastrophic fracture. A crown is usually easily replaced, whereas replacing an entire tooth is a much more complex procedure. If a crown breaks or starts to develop cracks, it’s a sign that it’s done its job well and most of the time will require replacement.Â
Most crowns are tooth coloured and are matched to your current teeth. If you want to whiten your teeth, we encourage you to do this prior to having a crown so the crown can be matched to the whitened teeth.
