About crowns and bridges
Restoring Strength and Aesthetics
When a tooth is damaged, weakened or missing, it affects more than your smile — it impacts your ability to eat, speak and feel confident. Dental crowns and bridges are proven restorative solutions that rebuild tooth structure and replace missing teeth with natural-looking results.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength and appearance. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring prosthetic teeth to neighbouring teeth or dental implants. At Arete Dental Studio, we use advanced CEREC technology and premium ceramic materials to deliver restorations that look and function like natural teeth — often in a single visit for suitable cases.

Key benefits
Why Crowns and Bridges
Replace Missing Teeth
Bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth, preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting and restoring the appearance and function of your smile.
CEREC Same-Day Technology
Our CEREC system allows us to digitally design and mill ceramic crowns in a single appointment — no temporary crowns, no second visit.
Common scenarios
When a Dental Crown May Be Recommended
A crown may be the right solution in several clinical situations.
After root canal therapy
A tooth treated with root canal therapy often needs a crown to protect it from fracturing, as the tooth becomes more brittle without its nerve supply.
Cracked or damaged teeth
Teeth with significant cracks, fractures or large old fillings may benefit from a crown to restore structural integrity and prevent further breakdown.
Cosmetic restoration
A crown can also improve the appearance of a severely discoloured, misshapen or worn tooth, providing a natural-looking and durable result.

Comparing options
Crowns, Bridges and Implants Compared
A crown restores a single damaged tooth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using adjacent teeth as anchors. A dental implant with a crown replaces a missing tooth without affecting neighbouring teeth.
For a single missing tooth, an implant is often the preferred long-term solution because it preserves the health of surrounding teeth and maintains bone density. A bridge may be recommended when implants are not suitable or when adjacent teeth already need crowns. Your clinician assesses your specific situation and recommends the most appropriate approach.
Treatment process
From Assessment to Your Restored Smile
1
Assessment and planning
We examine the tooth, take digital scans and X-rays, and discuss the best restoration option — crown, bridge or implant-supported crown.
Indicative timeframe: 30-45 minutes
2
Digital design
Using CEREC or digital scanning, your crown is designed to match the shape, colour and contour of your natural teeth for a seamless result.
Indicative timeframe: included in treatment visit
3
Preparation and fabrication
The tooth is carefully prepared, and your crown or bridge is fabricated — either same-day with CEREC or by our ceramist laboratory.
Indicative timeframe: same-day or 1-2 weeks
4
Fitting and bonding
Your restoration is tried in, adjusted for perfect fit and bite, then permanently bonded. We check your comfort and provide aftercare instructions.
Indicative timeframe: 30-45 minutes
Treatment steps and timeframes vary depending on the restoration type and clinical requirements.

Common Questions
How much do dental crowns cost in Brisbane?
Based on current pricing, dental crowns at Arete Dental Studio typically range from $1,200 to $2,200 per crown depending on the material, complexity and whether CEREC same-day technology is used. We provide a clear estimate after clinical assessment. All cases vary.
What is a CEREC same-day crown?
CEREC technology allows us to digitally design and mill a high-quality ceramic crown in a single appointment. This means no temporary crowns, no impressions and no second visit — your permanent restoration is placed the same day.
How long do dental crowns last?
A well-made crown with good oral hygiene and regular dental reviews can last 10 to 20 years or longer. Longevity depends on the material, the condition of the underlying tooth, bite forces and your home care routine.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. It restores function, prevents teeth from shifting and improves the appearance of your smile.
Crown or dental implant — which is better for a missing tooth?
A crown alone cannot replace a missing tooth — it needs a foundation. For a single missing tooth, a dental implant with a crown is often the preferred solution as it preserves neighbouring teeth. A bridge is an alternative that uses adjacent teeth as anchors. We assess your situation and discuss the best option for you.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should feel no pain during treatment. Some mild sensitivity around the tooth is normal for a few days afterward and is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Do you offer porcelain crowns?
Yes. We primarily use high-strength ceramic and porcelain materials that are shade-matched to your natural teeth. The result is a restoration that looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth.
When do I need a dental crown?
A crown may be recommended when a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, weakened after root canal therapy, or significantly worn. It restores the tooth's strength, shape and appearance and protects it from further damage.
Can a dental bridge be placed on implants?
Yes. An implant-supported bridge is an excellent option when multiple adjacent teeth are missing. Instead of relying on natural teeth as anchors, dental implants provide a stable foundation. This preserves the health of surrounding teeth.
