Crown and Bridges
Dental Crowns at Robina Quays Dental Care, Gold Coast
Strengthening and Beautifying Your Teeth
Dental crowns are not just restorative solutions; they act like a protective helmet for teeth that have been compromised. At Robina Quays Dental Care, we utilize crowns to restore lost tooth structure and provide essential support. Common reasons for needing a dental crown include:
- Teeth that are undermined or heavily restored.
- Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment.
- Fractured, broken down, or extensively worn teeth.
- Teeth with significant alterations in shape or color.
- Traumatized or extensively decayed teeth.
- Teeth requiring additional posterior support.
Crowns offer enhanced strength and durability, safeguarding against potential breaks in weakened teeth. Available in various materials such as gold, silver, ceramic, and zirconia, crowns are also frequently used for aesthetic enhancements and overall dental restoration.

Dental Bridges at Robina Quays Dental Care, Gold Coast
Bridging the Gap for a Complete Smile
Dental bridges are a vital treatment option at Robina Quays Dental Care for restoring smiles affected by missing teeth. A bridge fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth, using adjacent teeth as anchors for the artificial tooth or teeth.
Why Choose a Dental Bridge?
- Tooth Loss Solutions: Ideal for replacing missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
- Prevent Shifting: Bridges help prevent remaining teeth from shifting, which can lead to bite problems and other dental issues.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Custom-made to match your natural teeth, bridges improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Types of Dental Bridges
- Traditional Bridges: Feature crowns on either side of the missing tooth, with a false tooth in between. Ideal for teeth with natural teeth on both sides of the gap.
- Cantilever Bridges: Used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth.
- Maryland Bridges: Consist of a false tooth supported by a framework bonded onto the backs of two adjacent teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Supported by dental implants rather than crowns or frameworks. Ideal for multiple missing teeth.
The Bridge Placement Process
- Consultation and Planning: Our team evaluates your dental health to determine the best type of bridge for your needs.
- Preparation of Adjacent Teeth: For traditional and cantilever bridges, the teeth adjacent to the gap are prepared to support the bridge.
- Impressions and Customization: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a bridge that fits perfectly and matches your natural teeth.
- Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge may be placed while your permanent bridge is being crafted.
- Final Bridge Placement: Once ready, the permanent bridge is adjusted and cemented into place.
Caring for Your Bridge
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for the longevity of your dental bridge. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential.
