Restore Your Smile: Dental Crowns & Bridges at Botany South Dental

Don’t let a damaged or missing tooth hold you back. Expert care in Flat Bush.

Are You Experiencing Any of These Symptoms?

Sometimes, the need for a crown or bridge isn’t just about looks – it’s about comfort and function. You may need a Dental Crown (often called a “Cap”) if you recognise these signs:

  • Pain When Biting: Do you feel a sharp “zing” or discomfort when you chew? You may have hidden cracks that are structurally weakening your tooth.
  • The “Hollow” Tooth: Do you have a tooth with large, heavy fillings that keep chipping or falling out?
  • Post-Root Canal Protection: Have you recently had a Root Canal treatment? These teeth become brittle over time and require a crown to prevent them from snapping.
  • A Missing Gap: Are you missing one or more teeth, making it difficult to chew or causing your other teeth to shift?
  • Worn Down Teeth: Are your teeth looking shorter or flatter due to grinding or decay?

What is a Dental Crown?

A Crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped “cap” that fits precisely over your existing tooth. It acts as a protective shield, encasing the entire visible portion of the tooth to restore its original shape, size, and strength.

Why choose a crown at Botany South Dental?

  • Strengthens teeth that are too weak for a regular filling.
  • Protects root-filled teeth from fracturing.
  • Enhances the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.

What is a Dental Bridge?

If you are missing a tooth entirely, a Bridge is a permanent solution that “bridges” the gap. It consists of two crowns placed on the teeth on either side of the space, with a lifelike prosthetic tooth joined in the middle.

The Benefits of a Bridge:

  • Restores your smile and facial shape.
  • Prevents remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
  • Restores the ability to chew and speak properly.
