Crowns and Bridges
Teeth can change over time due to wear, damage or tooth loss. Dental crowns and bridges are designed
to restore structure, function and balance when these changes begin to affect how your teeth work together.
Signs You Might Need a Dental Restoration
Dr Proctor may recommend a crown if you have a weak, cracked or heavily filled tooth, or if the tooth has undergone root canal treatment. A dental crown acts as a protective shell and helps support the remaining tooth structure.
We may consider a dental bridge when one or more teeth are missing. A dental bridge fills the space by anchoring to neighbouring teeth. Ultimately, a dental bridge can restore oral function and maintain alignment.
If you notice difficulty chewing, sensitivity or changes in how your teeth meet when biting, you may need a dental crown or bridge.
How Your Sydney Dentist Determines the Best Option for You
Choosing between a crown or bridge depends on several factors, including:
- The condition of your teeth
- The location of the concern
- How your bite functions
We offer various materials, including CEREC dental crowns in Leichhardt.

Need a dental crown but don't love the idea of multiple appointments? Good news! Modern dental technology makes same-day restorations possible for some patients.
At Radiance Dentistry, we offer CEREC crowns in Leichhardt, allowing suitable patients to receive a custom-made dental crown in a single appointment.
How Do Same-Day CEREC Crowns Work?
CEREC technology uses digital scanning, computer-aided design and on-site milling to create ceramic dental restorations.
The process generally involves:
- Dental Exam — Your dentist assesses your tooth and determines the appropriate treatment.
- Digital Impressions — Your dentist uses a scanner to capture detailed images of your teeth without traditional impression putty.
- Custom Crown Design — Digital software helps your dentist design a restoration suited to your bite.
- On-site Crown Creation — CEREC equipment mills your crown from a ceramic block.
- Final Placement — Your dentist checks the fit and bite before securing the restoration.
Are Same-Day Crowns Suitable for Everyone?
Not necessarily. Extensive tooth damage, complex bite concerns or specific material requirements may make traditional laboratory-made crowns more appropriate.
At Radiance Dentistry, Dr Dianne Proctor considers your individual dental needs before recommending treatment. We invite you to call us if you're interested in dental crowns in Leichhardt. Our friendly team will be pleased to discuss your restorative options!
