Crown & Bridge Dentistry Adelaide

Crown and Bridge

A crown is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Crown can be used to cover and protect back and front teeth. Crowns are often needed to:

  • Protect a weakened/brittle tooth from fracturing (avoids risk of losing teeth)
  • Cover a tooth that is heavily filled. It is fairly common for heavily filled teeth to have cracks. The cracks will get larger painlessly and eventually the tooth will shatter. Cracks on the teeth are like cracks on the windscreen, if not treated, they will progress and finally the windscreen will shatter.
  • Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
  • Restore a fractured tooth
  • Cover a dental implant
  • Cover a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth
  • Protect a tooth that has had root canal treatment
  • Correct misaligned teeth to make them straight

A crown is like a helmet that protects one’s head in all directions. Crowns can be constructed by our dental technician (requiring two appointments) or using our single visit 3D CEREC technology. There are three common types of crowns: porcelain, porcelain fused to metal or metal crown. Our dentist can advise which type is the best for specific teeth and conditions.

Step by step for crown appointment

First Appointment

1. The tooth will be prepared to make room for the crown to sit on the top of the tooth.

2. Impressions will be taken and sent to our dental technicians to make the crown.

3. A temporary crown will be cemented on the prepared tooth, to protect the tooth in the interim until the crown is ready.

Second Appointment

1. The temporary crown will be taken off.

2. The crown is then positioned and fastened with a permanent cement.

What is a Bridge?

Bridges are common solutions for a person that is missing one or more teeth in row. Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite. The imbalance caused by missing teeth can also lead to gum disease, which most likely will lead to jaw bone disease (periodontitis), which is the main cause of tooth loss for adjacent teeth.

Bridges are commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are an alternative treatment option to a dental implant for a missing tooth. Bridges span the space where the teeth are missing. Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth adjacent to the empty space. Porcelain or ceramic bridges can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth.

I previously had a failed filling at another dental clinic, which left me quite anxious about seeing a dentist again. Then I came to Royal Park Dental and met Dr. Katelyn Chen. Dr. Katelyn not only successfully repaired my tooth, but her angelic smile and genuine care also helped me overcome my fear of dental treatment. She was patient, gentle, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process. Thanks to her excellent work, I can now smile confidently every day again. I’m truly grateful and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dentist.

Can not speak highly enough of this practice...have avoided dentists for years due to horrible experiences when i was younger, leading to an absolute fear of dentists. Dr. Kaytlin Chen was highly recommended to me and finding her has been a god send. She is the most gentle caring and understanding dentist i have ever been to. Explains everything she is doing with breaks along the way. Her assistant is absolutely amazing as well. Can't thank them enough for their care patience and kindness and curing me of my dentist phobia...also special shout out to Samantha on reception...lovely girl who always greats you with warmth and a smile....

Awesome staff , Samantha is the warmest and most polite receptionist I've encountered in a very, very long time which makes a hell of a difference, Dr Katelyn is highly gifted , my filling was incredibly well done, and Flawless, her warmth reassuring, definitely glad to return, I have old fillings to replace and new to fill and injections to loathe, but she makes it very bearable, godbless her' !!!!!! ' You won't be disappointed and up she is up front with photos , which is very important and Katelyn is very transparent on her explanations, clear and very honest ! as I've been misled to by other dentist and lied to , exaggerated, ' and my they burn in hell'

I can’t recommend Dr. Katelyn Chen and the team at Royal Park Dental highly enough! After years of waiting for the public dentist and dealing with the effects of poor oral hygiene, Dr. Chen gave me my smile back. I used to struggle with dental anxiety, but since coming here, it's significantly improved. While I still feel a little anxious at the start of my appointments, I always find myself calming down as the appointment goes on, thanks to Dr. Chen’s gentle and understanding approach. From the moment I walk in, I feel welcomed and at ease. Dr. Chen is incredibly professional, kind, and thorough—she takes the time to explain everything and ensures you're comfortable throughout your visit. The clinic itself is modern, clean, and well-organized, and the entire staff is friendly and accommodating. A special shout-out to Receptionist Samantha, who is always so warm and helpful—she truly makes the experience even better from start to finish. If you're looking for a dentist who truly cares about your oral health and overall experience, Dr. Katelyn Chen is the one to see. I’m so grateful to have found such an amazing team who helped restore my confidence with my smile!

Dr Katelyn Chen is patient and thorough. I couldn’t recommend her more highly! I am extremely anxious attending the dentist but she makes it easy, allowing time for breaks and checking in frequently that I am coping. I also appreciate the explanations of what’s happening to my teeth, using imaging which they display in the room. Front of house staff also friendly and welcoming.

My procedure went very well and the dentist was wonderful. However I was surprised by the unkempt & unhygienic waiting area. Dusty lampshades and old soiled chair pads certainly didn't make a good impression.
