Crowns and Bridges in Prahran

Patient after getting same-day dental crowns in prahranAt Lifetime Dental, we get that life is busy, and waiting weeks for a new crown or bridge isn’t always practical. That’s why we offer CEREC same-day crowns and bridges in Prahran. Our dentists design each restoration to give you a seamless and comfortable experience from start to finish.

Why Might You Need a Crown or Bridge?

If you’re dealing with a cracked or worn-down tooth or even missing a few teeth in a row, it’s more than just a cosmetic issue. A damaged smile can make chewing uncomfortable, impact how you speak and sometimes even affect your confidence.

We create dental crowns and bridges to restore the look of your smile and its full function so you can bite, chew and speak with total comfort and assurance. Crowns are ideal when a single tooth needs reinforcement as it covers it like a protective cap.

On the other hand, bridges are a great option when you’re missing teeth because they span the gap and are securely anchored to your natural teeth. 

Why Choose CEREC Crowns and Bridges?

We think restoring your smile should be quick and easy. With our CEREC technology, you get custom crowns and bridges in just one visit—no temporary crowns, no multiple appointments. Our same-day restorations give you strength and beauty all in one, so you walk out with a complete smile.
One Visit, One New Smile
Forget multiple trips to the dentist—CEREC gives you a custom crown or bridge in just one visit. No more temporary crowns or extra appointments.
Perfect Fit, Natural Feel
Thanks to CEREC’s digital magic, your new crown or bridge is crafted to fit like a glove. That means it’s super comfortable and looks natural—so natural, you might just forget it’s there.
Strong and Long-Lasting
Made from top-notch ceramic, CEREC crowns and bridges are strong and reliable. They’re built to last, so you can enjoy a strong, natural-looking smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

On average, a well-made crown or bridge can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, sometimes even longer, with good care. Crowns and bridges are designed to be durable and long-lasting, but their lifespan can vary based on a few factors, including:

  • Materials
  • Oral hygiene
  • Lifestyle habits

At Lifetime Dental, we craft our crowns and bridges using high-quality materials like ceramic, which is both strong and natural-looking. To keep your crown or bridge in great shape, we recommend regular check-ups, a consistent oral hygiene routine and avoiding habits like chewing on ice or hard objects.

Patient after getting same-day bridge in prahranAs we’ve said many times before, every smile is unique and deserves meticulous care. That’s why we consider your facial structure, skin tone and individual features to ensure your new crown or bridge looks completely natural.  

Custom CEREC Crowns and Bridges in One Visit

With CEREC technology, we can design, create and place your new crown or bridge in a single appointment. Here’s how it works:

  • Consultation and Digital Scans — First, we’ll examine the tooth or area needing treatment and discuss your options with you. Instead of using old-fashioned, uncomfortable moulds, we capture a 3-D digital scan of your teeth. This gives us precise measurements for a custom fit.
  • Crafting Your Restoration — Using the digital model, our CEREC system designs your crown or bridge on the spot and crafts it from high-quality ceramic. This material is known for its durability, natural appearance and stain resistance, so your restoration will look and feel just like your natural teeth.
  • Same-Day Placement — Once your crown or bridge is ready, we check the fit, make any adjustments and securely bond it. You walk out with a fully restored, comfortable smile built to last.
