Getting it Royal
Restore your smile’s strength and look with dental crowns and bridges in Frankston at The Dentist’s Chair. Whether you need to protect a damaged tooth or replace missing ones, we tailor solutions that feel natural and last.
What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
Crowns are protective caps for teeth that are cracked, worn, or weakened. Bridges fill gaps by anchoring replacement teeth to nearby healthy teeth. Both help you chew, speak, and smile confidently.
When Might You Need a Crown?
Crowns are incredible when a tooth has a big filling, is cracked, or has had a root canal. They also help if your teeth are worn down from grinding or discoloured and hard to whiten.
Porcelain Crowns
Our favourite crowns in Frankston provide a natural look with translucency, stain resistance, and durability—suitable for both front and back teeth.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns
These crowns feature a strong metal core and natural porcelain exterior, perfect for high-pressure areas, offering a reliable and cost-effective option.
Full Metal Crowns
Built for strength and longevity, full metal crowns suit back teeth, require minimal removal, and handle heavy chewing with a precise fit.
How Do Dental Bridges Work?
Bridges literally “bridge” the space left by missing teeth using the neighbouring teeth for support. This stops other teeth from shifting, helps to chew, and balances your smile.
Traditional Bridges
The most common bridge in Frankston uses crowns on neighbouring teeth to support a false tooth. It’s strong, stable, and built to last.
Cantilever Bridges
Supported by one healthy tooth, cantilever bridges suit low-pressure areas. They’re a conservative choice that carefully manages chewing forces to protect your teeth.
Maryland Bridges
A minimally invasive option is bonding a metal or porcelain framework to the backs of nearby teeth. Great for front teeth with minimal tooth prep needed.
What to Expect During Treatment
Step 1: Consultation
We’ll examine your teeth, take digital X-rays, and discuss your options. We’ll also discuss costs and timelines so you know what to expect.
Step 2: Preparing Your Teeth
We carefully shape your teeth to fit the crown or bridge and place a temporary one while the final piece is made. Colour matching is done to blend perfectly with your smile.
Step 3: Final Placement
Once your crown or bridge arrives, we’ll remove the temporary, check the fit and look, and make any tweaks before cementing it in place. We finish by making sure your bite feels just right.

Taking Care of Your Crowns and Bridges
Keep your new crown or bridge in great shape by brushing two times a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing carefully around it—especially where the restoration meets your gums. Try to steer clear of chewing hard objects (like ice or pens), and definitely avoid using your teeth to open things.
Regular check-ups help us keep an eye on things and spot any early signs of wear or issues before they become a problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With good care, crowns and bridges typically last between 10 and 15 years, sometimes longer, depending on your habits and oral health.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients feel comfortable thanks to local anaesthetic. You might feel slight pressure but no pain during treatment.
Can my crown or bridge look natural?
Yes, definitely. We carefully match the colour and shape to your surrounding teeth so it blends in seamlessly—most people won’t be able to tell it’s there.
Will I need special care after getting a crown or bridge?
Not really. Just stick to good daily habits like brushing, flossing, and seeing your dentist regularly. Avoid very hard or sticky foods to keep them protected.
What if my crown or bridge feels loose?
If you notice any looseness, contact us right away. We can adjust or repair it to prevent further problems.
