Crowns and Bridges
Restore strength and function to your smile with custom dental crowns and dental bridges at Robina Quays Dental Care. We offer personalised care using durable, natural-looking materials.
Restoring Your Smile
Whether you’re dealing with a damaged, worn, or missing tooth, crowns and bridges can help restore your smile’s strength and appearance. Our team uses high-quality materials and precise techniques to ensure a comfortable fit and natural look.
Dental crowns are used to protect and strengthen a weakened tooth, while dental bridges are ideal for filling gaps caused by missing teeth. Both options are tailored to your needs and designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Our Crown & Bridge Services
Our crowns and bridges are tailored to suit your smile and restore proper function:
Dental Crowns
Strengthen and protect teeth that are cracked, worn down, or treated with root canal therapy.
Dental Bridges
Replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the surrounding teeth for stability.
Repair of Existing Restorations
Assessment and minor repairs of damaged crowns or bridges, where possible.
Common Reasons for Dental Crowns
Crowns are often used to protect and restore teeth that are:
- Broken or fractured
- Heavily filled or undermined
- Treated with root canal therapy
- Severely worn down due to grinding
- Discoloured or misshapen
Traumatised or structurally weakened
They help preserve the natural tooth and restore function, comfort, and appearance.
Crown & Bridge Material Options
We offer a range of high-quality materials to suit different needs and tooth locations:
- Porcelain or Ceramic: Best for front teeth due to their natural appearance
- Zirconia: A strong, tooth-coloured option for durability and aesthetics
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): A balance between strength and a natural look
- Gold or Metal Alloys: Ideal for back teeth, offering superior strength and longevity
Your dentist will help you choose the best option based on your treatment goals and preferences.

Our Approach
We aim to make your restorative treatment as straightforward and stress-free as possible:
Consultation & Planning
We assess the affected tooth or gap and discuss your goals and options.
Preparation
For crowns, the tooth is gently reshaped to allow a snug, secure fit. For bridges, the neighbouring teeth are prepared to support the bridge.
Impressions & Fitting
We take detailed impressions for a custom fit and place a temporary crown or bridge if needed. We use local anaesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure, and our team takes extra care to make the experience as stress-free as possible.
Final Placement
Once your permanent crown or bridge is ready, it’s securely fitted and adjusted for comfort.
Answers to our most asked Crown & Bridge questions
Still have questions?
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With proper care, dental crowns and dental bridges can last many years.
Are crowns and bridges noticeable?
Our restorations are colour-matched to your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.
Is the procedure painful?
We use local anaesthesia and gentle techniques to minimise discomfort during treatment.
What’s the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown restores a single tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using adjacent teeth for support.
Can I eat normally with a crown or bridge?
Yes. Once placed, your crown or bridge should feel and function like a natural tooth.
How do I care for my crown or bridge?
Brush and floss regularly, and attend your routine dental check-ups.
Can a damaged crown or bridge be repaired?
In some cases, yes. We can assess your existing restoration and advise next steps.
Are crowns or bridges covered by health insurance?
Many health funds offer partial coverage. We can help you check your benefits.
What problems can a dental crown fix?
Dental crowns protect cracked or broken teeth, restore worn-down enamel, cover teeth after root canals, or improve the appearance of discoloured or misshapen teeth.
What are dental bridges made of?
Bridges can be made from a combination of materials such as porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys. Your dentist will help choose the best option based on strength, location, and aesthetics.
Do I need a bridge or an implant?
That depends on your oral health, number of missing teeth, and jawbone density. Implants are more permanent but require surgery. Bridges are less invasive and may be a better option in some cases. We’ll guide you based on your needs.
How should I clean around a dental bridge?
It’s important to clean under the bridge using a floss threader or special cleaning tools. Brushing and regular dental visits help prevent gum issues and keep the supporting teeth healthy.
What happens if I don’t replace a missing tooth?
Leaving a gap can lead to nearby teeth shifting, bite changes, and bone loss over time. A bridge helps maintain alignment and oral health.
What foods should I avoid with crowns or bridges?
Avoid chewing ice, hard lollies, and very sticky foods like caramel. These can crack or loosen restorations. With proper care, you can eat most foods normally.
