Crowns, Bridges & Veneers in Woden Valley, Canberra

Crowns, bridges, and veneers play an important role in restoring damaged teeth, replacing missing teeth, and enhancing the appearance of your smile. At Woden Dental Care, we provide personalised restorative and cosmetic solutions for patients in Woden Valley and across Canberra, helping you regain confidence, comfort, and long-term oral health.

These treatments are carefully planned to improve both function and aesthetics, while protecting your natural teeth wherever possible.

Dental Crowns: Strengthening and Protecting Teeth

A dental crown is often the best way to save and strengthen a tooth that has been significantly damaged. Crowns are custom-made restorations that fit over the entire visible portion of a prepared tooth.

Dental crowns may be recommended to:

Restore chipped, cracked, or heavily worn teeth
Protect teeth weakened by decay or large fillings
Strengthen teeth after Root Canal Treatment
Improve the shape, colour, or alignment of a tooth

Because a crown covers the entire tooth, some tooth structure must be reshaped to ensure a secure, long-lasting fit.

👉 Crowns are commonly part of our Restorative Dentistry services.

Porcelain Veneers: A Conservative Cosmetic Solution

Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are a more conservative option than crowns and may be suitable when the underlying tooth structure is healthy.

Veneers can be used to:

Improve tooth colour and shape
Close small gaps
Repair minor chips or worn edges
Create a more balanced, natural-looking smile

Only a small amount of enamel is removed to place a veneer—significantly less than what is required for a crown.

👉 Patients exploring smile enhancement may also wish to view our Cosmetic Dentistry services.

Dental Bridges: Replacing Missing Teeth

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to neighbouring natural teeth or crowns.

Bridges help to:

Restore chewing and speaking function
Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting
Maintain facial shape and bite alignment
Improve smile aesthetics

If a tooth is missing or cannot be saved with a crown, a bridge may be an effective treatment option.

👉 Depending on your needs, alternatives such as Dental Implants or removable dentures may also be discussed.
