Understanding Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover and protect weakened, cracked, or heavily restored teeth. Bridges use one or more crowns to support a false tooth or multiple teeth, filling gaps left by missing teeth. Both options are designed to restore function and aesthetics, helping you maintain a healthy, balanced bite.
Crowns and bridges are recommended for patients who:
• Have a cracked, broken, or worn-down tooth
• Need protection after a root canal
• Have a large filling with little natural tooth remaining
• Have missing teeth and want a fixed alternative to dentures
• Want to prevent other teeth from shifting or maintain bite alignment
Benefits of Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges offer both functional and cosmetic advantages, giving you a strong, comfortable, and natural-looking smile. Early treatment can prevent further damage, maintain oral health, and enhance confidence.
Key benefits include:
• Restores strength and structure to damaged teeth
• Improves chewing, speaking, and overall comfort
• Prevents surrounding teeth from shifting
• Enhances your smile with natural aesthetics
• Long-lasting results with proper care
Personalised Care and Long-Term Support
Every restoration at Colac Smiles is carefully planned to meet your individual needs. Our team will guide you through the process, from initial assessment to placement, ensuring your crown or bridge fits perfectly and functions properly. With personalised follow-up and professional advice on maintenance, you can enjoy a strong, beautiful smile for years to come.

Clarity Around Your Oral Health
01
Full Diagnostic Imaging
We take a full set of dental x-rays to check for any issues hiding between or inside your teeth—like decay or infection. You’ll also get a large panoramic x-ray (called an OPG) so we can assess your wisdom teeth, jaw joints, bone levels, and screen for anything unusual like cysts or growths.

We take clear photos of your teeth and mouth—inside and out. These help us explain what we see, track any changes over time, and plan treatment with you.
