Fixed Crowns & Bridges Sunbury

With the right care, crowns and bridges can last well over a decade. On average, they last between ten and fifteen years, though many patients enjoy longer-lasting results with excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits.

Just like natural teeth, restorations benefit from brushing, flossing, and avoiding excessive force. Habits such as grinding, biting on hard objects, or chewing ice can wear down or damage your restorations over time.

At Sunbury Dentist, we also provide ongoing support and monitoring to help you get the most out of your investment, including professional cleans and check-ups to identify any signs of wear early.

Absolutely. We take great care in crafting crowns and bridges that blend in with the rest of your smile. Each restoration is customised to match your tooth shape, shade, and size for a result that looks completely natural.

We work with high-quality materials that mimic the light-reflecting properties of real enamel, so your crown or bridge doesn’t just fit well, it also looks beautifully lifelike. Whether you’re replacing a back tooth or restoring one that’s visible when you smile, our goal is to make sure your dental work goes unnoticed by anyone but you.

Both bridges and dental implants are used to replace missing teeth, but they differ in how they are supported. A bridge relies on the neighbouring natural teeth to hold the restoration in place. These teeth are prepared and fitted with crowns that anchor the artificial tooth in between.

A dental implant, on the other hand, is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a standalone foundation for a crown without involving adjacent teeth.

Bridges may be ideal if the surrounding teeth already need crowns or if implant surgery isn’t suitable for medical reasons. Implants are often preferred when preserving bone structure and long-term independence of the restoration is a priority.

At Sunbury Dentist, we’ll walk you through both options and help you choose what makes the most sense for your individual circumstances.
