Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental Crowns and Bridges in Geelong
Nothing can beat our natural teeth when it comes to strength and function, however with
- Trauma
- Tooth decay
- Large filling
- Root canal treatment and Age related wear and tear
our teeth may require an artificial crown or “cap” which often is the best way to save your tooth and provide it with more strength. At Dentists & Doctors, we provide customized solutions for dental crowns in Geelong and the surrounding areas.
What Is A Dental Crown?
While crowns are frequently recommended as an essential procedure to reinforce your teeth, many individuals inquire: what exactly is a dental crown? A Dental Crown or “cap” is an artificial crown which is seated on a prepared tooth and replaces the natural crown of your tooth (the portion of the tooth which is visible in the mouth).
At Dentists & Doctors in Geelong, we offer our patients same-day porcelain dental crowns, ensuring optimal aesthetic outcomes, strength, and functionality, all achieved in a single day’s visit!
What Is A Bridge?
A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth which is anchored to your adjacent natural teeth. A dental bridge is often used if a tooth is too badly decayed to save with a crown or has been lost due to trauma.
Your dentist may also recommend a dental implant as another option to replace any missing teeth.

Why Do I Need A Dental Crown Or Bridge?
Our teeth serve multiple crucial purposes beyond simply chewing and biting. It’s important to replace missing teeth with dental crowns or bridges for the following reasons:
- To improve our overall appearance and smile
- Missing tooth makes it difficult to pronounce and make certain sounds such as “TH” “S” “Z”
- Prevent stresses to other teeth in the mouth – as they will take on the additional forces from the missing tooth/teeth
- Prevent additional pressure and stress to other teeth in the mouth – as they will take on the additional forces from the missing tooth/teeth.
- Maintaining your natural bite
- Dental crowns improve your chewing ability – allowing you to eat a wide range of foods and maintain a highly nutritious diet.

How Do I Take Care Of My New Dental Crown Or Bridge?
Your new dental crown/bridge will need to be taken care of just as you would your natural teeth. This means you will need to brush and floss twice daily in the area, your dentist will demonstrate how to do this following your treatment.
We advise that you avoid eating any hard foods in the area of the new Dental Crown or Bridge for 24 hours immediately after placement. The cement used to bond the dental crown/bridge continues to set and mature for approximately 24 hours to achieve optimum strength.
If you experience mild sensitivity to hot or cold foods do not be concerned. The sensations will improve gradually over the next 4 – 6 weeks.
Please contact us If you experience the following :-
- Movement of the crown or bridge
- Sensitivity to sweet foods/drinks
- Sensitivity to pressure
- Breakage or loss of material from dental crown or bridge (very unlikely with Porcelain fused Zirconia crowns)
- Bad taste in the mouth in the area of your dental crown/bridge

Jack Kelly6 Stars!!! Dr Pascale is the best dentist I have ever seen. I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted with absolutely no discomfort even though I was only under local anaesthetic. Dr Pascale and amazing assistant Lucy made sure I was comfortable the whole way through. The reception team was also really great and even followed up a day later to see how I was feeling after the extraction. Can’t recommend Dentists and Doctors and Dr Pascale enough.
Georgia BaileyAbsolutely amazing service! from the dentists, to the surgery, to the receptionists, super friendly, informative, comforting, everything that you could want from a dental clinic!
Stuart MossI can’t recommend Dr Asef highly enough! He not only did an excellent job, but went above and beyond to make sure that he was able to do my emergency root canal work at very short notice!
Guy DetotGreat ,experience. Will is very good.

Dr Asef Anwar and Dr pascal Maher managed to make it the best experience ever! although I’ve got the HARDEST case any Dentist could deal with! They are simply the best, and the most professional! from the receptionists to the dentists professionalism to the high level of hygiene... everything was Just INCREDIBLE I feel so lucky that I visited this clinic, they saved me from a very bad lifetime toxic gum and teeth infections.... They haven't stop until they made the best smile for me with treating the gum in a great way with no rush at all! So happy, satisfied, & no pain!! Everything just perfect Can’t thank you enough! Best team ever❤️
KateI just can’t speak highly enough of the team at dentist & doctors geelong. From the first phone call to the caring, informative and helpful reception staff, I knew I was in the right hands. Dr Matt and his assistant were so calming from the minute i walked into the room. The procedure (which I was quite anxious about) was explained to me in terms i understood clearly and I felt confident and in safe hands. a 10/10 for Dr Matt and the practice.
Hannah ConnellI was nervous prior to getting my wisdom teeth removed, but Dr. Pascale was very kind, reassuring and gentle. They were also very thorough with post care which made the recovery much easier than I was expecting. Highly recommend Doctors & Dentists to anyone who has anxiety around visiting the dentist.
Haci CakarAs a new patient , I wouldn't be more happier with this clinic. Dr Pascale is one of the most gentle, kind and well qualified Dentist I've ever attended. Front office staff are exceptional. Dental assistant was very qualified and worked perfectly as a team with Dr.during the process. The clinic is clean and equipped with only the very best.It was a nice touch to having a call from the clinic the next day after practice. They were checking me how I'm feeling. Thanks again.
Steven JonesDr Matt was fantastic for someone that is usually a little anxious going to the dentist I came out with no anxiety. Told me every step of the way what was happening couldn't be happier thanks Dr Matt if there was more stars to give I definitely would have
Ally ThompsonI had an exceptional experience at Dentists and Doctors last week with Dr Pascale. She was so reassuring, took such great care with my clean and checks whilst clearly outlining each process throughout the appointment. I felt so informed and appreciated the time she took to explain and show me what she had assessed. The clinic itself is spotless and modern with some really cool technology, the receptionist was also so lovely. All in all, I will certainly be making D&D my go-to dental clinic from now on!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 194 reviews
