Restore Your Smile with Expert Crowns and Bridges in Mosman
Advanced dental crown and bridge treatments by Dr Priya Shanmugalingam. Combining 20+ years of expertise with precision technology for natural-looking, lasting results.
Understanding Crowns and Bridges in Dentistry
Dental crowns and dental bridges are two of the most common restorative treatments in dentistry. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its size, shape, strength, and appearance. A dental bridge, on the other hand, is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring the artificial tooth to the adjacent natural teeth or implants.
These dental treatments provide long-lasting results, helping you maintain your smile and overall oral health.

Types of Crowns and Bridges We Offer
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns are perfect for restoring front teeth, offering a natural look that blends seamlessly with your smile. They’re durable and ideal for everyday use, providing strength and aesthetics in one solution.
Metal Crowns
Metal crowns are highly durable and best suited for back teeth, where strength is more important than appearance. These crowns can withstand significant pressure from chewing and provide long-lasting protection.
Cantilever Bridges
Cantilever bridges are suitable when there are teeth on only one side of the missing tooth; these bridges are anchored to one or more adjacent teeth on that single side.
Ceramic Crowns
Ceramic crowns provide a similar natural appearance to porcelain and are a great choice for those with metal allergies. They offer a high-quality, durable solution that mimics the look of natural teeth.
Traditional Bridges
Traditional bridges are composed of crowns that are fixed onto the teeth adjacent to a gap, and these are connected by a pontic or artificial tooth.
Maryland Bonded Bridges
This type, also known as resin-bonded bridges, incorporates a framework of either metal or porcelain. The framework is bonded to the backs of adjacent natural teeth, which requires minimal preparation of the supporting teeth.
Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

Restoration of Tooth Functionality
Crowns protect damaged teeth, while bridges replace missing teeth to improve chewing and speech.
