At Skye Dental, we offer a full range of restorative services and offer options to help reach your goals. Our team is committed to supporting your aesthetic and functional smile options of dental crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays.
Dental crowns are caps that may restore the shape, size, and strength of a damaged tooth. Crowns are typically options for teeth that are fractured, weak, discoloured, or need protection after a root canal. Our crowns are custom-made by a local ceramist to resemble your original tooth as closely as possible, made of porcelain or porcelain-fused-to-metal for durability and a more natural look. And because porcelain tends to reflect the light the way your teeth do, it offers the most natural appearance.
What to Expect: The process involves tooth preparation, crown fabrication, and placement, with local anaesthetics ensuring comfort. After the crown is placed, our team provides guidance on aftercare and maintenance.
With the 3D CAD/CAM technology sometimes same day crowns are a viable option.
At Skye Dental in Capalaba there may be some benefits that crowns can typically assist with, such as :
Restore/replace fractured teeth
and function
Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
Cover discoloured teeth
Conceal root canaled teeth
Cover misaligned teeth
Replace teeth with large fillings
Cover decaying teeth
Attach a bridge
Please note that results, risks, complications and recovery times vary dependent on each procedure and patient. Treatment suitability is assessed at the initial consultation or comprehensive exam. The longevity of dental crowns depends on several factors, including maintenance which can be discussed at your consultation.
The primary reasons to get a dental crown include:
They may protect the tooth and root structure of your natural tooth
If you’ve had root canal treatment, they are often offered as the best long-term prognosis for that tooth
If the tooth is not too damaged, a dental onlay or inlay may be an alternative option to provide a stronger option than a filling. This is a partial crown, made of the same strong ceramic or gold as a full crown.
These restorative options may be appropriate to improve appearance or function. While these treatments can often provide a positive outcome, they are not without risks and can need to be replaced. Please note that these risks and suitability will be discussed.
Inlays and onlays are indirect restorations, offering a stronger alternative to fillings and a less invasive option compared to crowns. Inlays fill the area within the tooth's cusps, while onlays cover one or more cusps or the entire biting surface. If the tooth is not too damaged, a dental onlay or inlay may be an alternative option to dental crowns. This is a partial crown, made of the same strong porcelain as a full crown.
What to Expect: These restorations are fabricated in a laboratory and bonded to your tooth within a week, but often can be done on the same day. They can often provide stability and are designed to closely match the colour of your natural teeth.
Tooth bridges replace missing teeth, filling gaps and may preventing surrounding teeth from shifting. They are connected to adjacent teeth or implants, restoring both appearance and function. If gapped teeth are left unattended for a period of time, the remaining teeth are more susceptible to rotating or shifting into the empty space. This sometimes can lead to bad bite, gum disease or Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
What to Expect: Our process involves taking impressions or a 3D digital scan, customising the bridge, and securing it in place. The treatment may take place over a few visits, but sometimes can be completed all in one day. If there is more than one visit sometimes a temporary bridge is suggested.
