Crowns and Bridges in Pimpama, QLD

Damaged or missing teeth can make everyday tasks like chewing and smiling feel awkward. At Dental In Focus Pimpama, our dentists in Pimpama use modern crowns and bridges to rebuild strength, restore appearance and keep neighbouring teeth in line. With onsite 3-D printing, we can design and craft your custom restoration quickly—often in a single visit—so you can get back to life with confidence.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a complete cover that slips over a weak, cracked or heavily filled tooth. Crafted from durable porcelain or zirconia it seals the tooth to stop further damage and mimics natural translucency so your repaired tooth blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (pontic) to the healthy teeth on either side. Traditional bridges are cemented in place while implant-supported bridges connect to titanium posts in the jaw for maximum stability and bone health.

Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges in Pimpama have several benefits, from restoring one's appearance to improving oral function.

Restores Function

High-strength dental crowns and bridges can allow you to bite and chew without worry, bringing back comfort and full dietary freedom.

Enhances Appearance

Colour-matched restorations covers chips, cracks and gaps, creating an even bright smile that shows confidence in photos and conversations.

Prevents Problems

Crowns seal weakened teeth against future fractures, while bridges stop neighbouring teeth drifting into empty spaces, protecting overall bite harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are crowns and bridges made from, and how do I choose the best option for my smile and budget?

Modern crowns and bridges come in three main materials, each with its own advantages:

All-ceramic (porcelain or zirconia) — These restorations are metal-free and highly aesthetic because they transmit light like natural enamel. Zirconia is especially strong, making it ideal for back molars that handle heavy chewing. If you need a crown in your smile line or have a metal allergy, all-ceramic is often the first choice.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) — A thin metal sub-structure provides extra strength while the outer porcelain layer matches neighbouring teeth. PFMs have been used successfully for decades and remain a cost-effective option for areas where extreme biting force is expected. A thin grey line can sometimes appear at the gum edge over many years, so PFMs are usually reserved for posterior teeth.
Full metal (gold alloy) — Gold crowns offer exceptional durability and gentle wear on opposing teeth. While not as popular for visible areas, they're still known for their longevity on back molars. Gold’s cost fluctuates with market prices, yet many patients find its decades-long lifespan worth the investment.

During your consultation, our dentists in Pimpama will consider tooth position, bite force, aesthetic goals and budget before recommending the material that provides the best blend of strength, appearance and value for your individual needs.

3-D Printing: Faster More Precise Care

Our Pimpama dental clinic’s digital workflow starts with an intraoral scan—no messy impressions. The scan feeds into CAD software where we design your crown or bridge to exact dimensions then send the file to our in-house 3-D printer. Layer by layer the printer builds a high-strength resin model that is used to press or mill the final ceramic restoration. This technology means:

Fewer appointments and no temporary crowns for many cases
A precise fit that reduces adjustment time in the chair
Consistent quality control because everything happens under one roof

Crown and Bridge Treatment Steps

Assessment and planning — We check tooth health and bite alignment and take digital scans and low-dose x-rays.
Tooth preparation — Damaged enamel is reshaped and cleaned ready to receive the crown or bridge.
3-D fabrication — Your custom design is printed, pressed or milled then glazed and polished for a natural finish.
Placement and adjustment — Our dentists in Pimpama cement the restoration and fine-tune the bite so it feels just like your own tooth.

Caring for Your New Restoration

We recommend that you brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss around crowns and under bridge pontics using super-floss or interdental brushes. We also encourage you to visit us every six months for professional cleaning. Avoid chewing ice and remove sport mouthguards only after play to guard against accidental chips. With good care, dental crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or longer.
