Porcelain Bridge Australasia

Bridges are a series of crowns fused together to replace one or more missing teeth; they are anchored to the natural teeth on either side of the gaps. Bridges are extremely strong and can last a very long time.

Porcelain veneers are extremely hard shells that adhere to the surfaces of teeth. Veneers correct the same problems corrected by bonding, but usually last longer and have a completely natural appearance. Two visits are required. The first allows for buffing the tooth structure and the taking of a mould. During the second visit, the veneer is applied and polished. Veneers are very durable and with three to six-monthly services, they will have a longer life span.

$1275 per tooth You will need at least two appointments, as we need to prepare your teeth and take impressions of them, and then send the impressions off to the lab for the bridge to be made. In the meantime, we will put a temporary bridge on your prepared tooth to protect it. When the bridge is sent back from the lab, we can fit it onto your prepared tooth. Once fitted, the bridge should feel completely comfortable and natural in your mouth and should last for many years, however, factors such as your oral hygiene and oral health will affect exactly how long they last. We will show you how to clean your bridge properly in order to ensure they last for as long as they can.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of tooth colored porcelain that can be chemically bonded to the tooth to hide any aesthetic issues such as cracked, broken, chipped, discolored, or slightly misaligned teeth. They are more conservative than crowns and can be used on strong and healthy teeth to improve their appearance. Two appointments will be necessary to prepare the teeth and fit the veneers. It is possible to get a range of colors and shapes with veneers, so please be clear with your dentist about exactly what you are expecting and let us know at each step if you are completely satisfied with the veneers so that we can work with you to help you achieve the smile you desire. If you are unhappy with the color or shape of the veneer that is made in the lab, please discuss your concerns with our friendly dentists as soon as you see it and before they cement it onto your teeth – once the veneer is cemented onto the tooth, it is difficult to adjust the color and shape.

Invisalign orthodontic aligners are clear plastic trays that could help correct your crowded or misaligned teeth without the need for uncomfortable and unaesthetic metal braces and brackets. The teeth are moved gradually, with a new set of clear trays every fortnight, until the desired level of movement is achieved. The plastic trays are comfortable to use and can be worn daily (including overnight). The clear trays are all but invisible in your mouth, so most people won’t even realise you are getting orthodontic treatment when they see you.

Free Take Home Kit with In Chair Teeth Whitening. Zoom Teeth Whitening is when a bleaching agent is used to lighten the color of teeth. Natural teeth colors vary from off-white to yellower shades. Some factors influencing tooth color includes surface stains from lifestyle factors (smoking, coffee, red wine), age, poor oral hygiene, some medicines, dental problems (tooth decay, thin enamel, calculus, old fillings), and excessive fluoride. Tooth discoloration by surface stains or age usually respond best to whitening attempts. If you express an interest in Zoom teeth whitening, we will go through your medical and dental history and will also examine your teeth in order to try and determine the reason for the discoloration and decide on the best method of whitening to attempt. If you have any tooth decay or gum disease, we would advise that this be treated first. Most whitening treatments last from one to three years and can be reapplied in this time, however, depending on individual factors such as smoking, diet and oral hygiene, sometimes the results may only last for a few months. If you have any questions or concerns about the treatment, please discuss them with us before we begin the treatment.
