Crowns and Bridges
A dental crown is a protective cap that fits over a damaged, weakened or decayed tooth, strengthening it and shielding it from further damage.
Common Reasons for a Dental Crown
At Western Smiles Dental Care, we often recommend dental crowns to protect a tooth when the tooth has been:
- Structurally weakened due to a root canal treatment, extensive decay or a large filling
- Cracked, chipped or fractured
- Discoloured and needs to be covered
We use all-ceramic E-MAX crowns in our Mirrabooka dental practice and in our other practice locations in Dianella, Nolamarra and Balcatta, to provide the best outcomes to patients. E-MAX crowns have a flawless appearance, blending in perfectly with the patient’s smile. And they are strong and durable. Due to their strength, they aren’t very susceptible to cracks or fractures, and they often last longer than other types of crowns.
What’s the First Step?
The first step toward getting a dental crown is a thorough exam. After evaluating your dental needs, we may recommend a crown to cover a tooth. If that’s the case, we will customise the crown to your tooth and to blend in with your smile. The dental crown process usually takes at least 2-3 visits to complete.

On average, a dental bridge with proper care may last up to fifteen years.
Dental bridge longevity depends in part on how you care for it. In other words, you can take measures to help extend the life of your dental bridge.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a missing tooth replacement option. It can replace one or two teeth by bridging the gap in your smile.
The bridge is made of restoration teeth housed between tooth crowns. The crowns cap nearby teeth to support the bridge. A dental bridge may also rely on a dental implant to keep it in place.
Caring for Your Dental Bridge
For best results, your Mirrabooka dentist recommends keeping your smile healthy through brushing, flossing, regular exams and dental cleans. You want to ensure that you don’t experience future tooth loss, which will also compromise the fit and placement of your dental bridge.
To care for your dental bridge, we recommend keeping it fresh with a special cleaning brush and floss threader. A dental team member can talk to you about these accessories and provide additional tips for long-term care.
