WHAT IS A DENTAL CROWN?

• A dental crown has several different names with
  the same meaning. Dental crowns, dental caps or
  tooth caps are all one and the same. To make
  teeth stronger, and improve the appearance
  cosmetically, Integrity Dental may suggest to you
  to have a dental crown fitted if you need one. A
  dental crown is essentially a strong outer
  covering to your teeth. The crowns are made from
  different materials and can be made to fit your
  specifications. Some crowns are made of precious
  metals, such as gold and silver, but most crowns
  are made from composite material. Stop looking
  for affordable dentist near you and rather call
  Integrity Dental for a comprehensive consultation
  and advice on what is best for you. Any Dental
  clinic in NSW will have dentists who will offer
  you the best advice on affordable dental crowns
  for your budget, and Integrity Dental is no
  different. We believe in explaining to patients
  what their options are and what they can afford
  at the time of the consult.

THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS YOU MAY NEED A CROWN

• Severe decay A crown may be the last only option
  to this kind of decay. The tooth may be
  compromised as a result of the decay
• Significant fracture Having a fractured tooth
  that cant be repaired by a filling will require
  a crown.
• Aesthetic Some clients choose a crown for
  appearance, especially if the tooth is one that
  can be seen in the front.

• Significant fracture A severely fractured tooth
  may have no option but the use of a crown
• Root Canal Surgery If this surgery is required
  then the only option to strengthen the tooth may
  be a crown.
• Accident or Injury A tooth may break as a result
  of an accident and depending on how bad the break
  or chip maybe it may only be able to be repaired
  with a crown.
• Teeth Grinding If you are a teeth grinder and
  have a poor diet your teeth will erode to a point
  where a crown may be the only option to take.

WHAT IS THE REASON A CROWN IS MORE EXPENSIVE
THAN A FILLING?

• A crown is more complicated than a filling
  repair. Materials and lab fees to make the crown
  make it a more expensive option
• Additionally, a crown tends to have you see the
  dentist several times as he will use a temporary
  crown first and once the permanent one is ready
  it will be fitted.

WHAT IS A BRIDGE?

• A bridge is a replacement for a missing tooth, it
  fills gaps in the gumline that have been created
  from the offending teeth. Sometimes a bridge will
  be needed to fix a tooth that has become damaged.
  A bridge is not made to make your teeth stronger,
  but rather your teeth appear to look and feel
  normal and get your appearance closer to your
  original smile.
• A bridge can act as an anchor for two crowns and
  a replacement tooth sits on the bridge to fill
  the gap between two teeth. Having a bridge
  installed by a dental clinic in NSW such as
  Integrity Dental, can prevent bone loss, decay or
  gum disease, this then occurs when gaps in
  between teeth and food gathers hence where the
  decay begins.

• Bridgework teeth cost can vary depending on the
  materials used. An Integrity Dental dentist will
  talk to you about budget and help you with the
  best possible outcome. An enamel bonded bridge
  using metal or porcelain framework attaches to
  the artificial framework of the bridge to support
  the teeth and with good oral hygiene the bridge
  may last up to 15 years. You may find bridgework
  teeth cost is a more economical alternative to
  full dentures and it may be possible to have a
  porcine or all porcine bridge attached, this is
  the most natural looking alternative to full
  denture.

• A dental crown and/or bridge can make your smile
  look beautiful, feel strong and work properly. It
  can also give you a very natural looking
  appearance as well as assist in bite issues that
  you may be suffering from. Integrity Dental will
  also advise their clients that your teeth may
  feel unusual due to all the work you have had.
• Bridgework repairs are an economical alternative
  to a full denture, and it may be possible to have
  a porcine bridge attached, this is the most
  natural looking alternative to full denture.

  information on affordable dental crowns.

• There may be a number of reasons that you require
  affordable dental crowns to be fitted, one of
  those is to correct severe decay. The other is
  the fact that the tooth may have suffered some
  kind of fracture which means it cannot be treated
  with a filling. A dental crown might also be
  needed if you have lost teeth which are replaced
  by bridges, but there are other reasons as well.
• Just remember even though you have a replacement
  tooth fitted you must still be strict and follow
  a healthy oral hygiene routine, brushing twice
  daily, flossing and maintaining regular check-ups
  from Integrity Dental.
