Restorative Dentistry
Crowns
If you have a damaged tooth, it can become more susceptible to decay. A dental crown is a porcelain or gold sleeve fitted over the damaged tooth to restore its original structure and function so you can chew, eat and smile as normal.
At Mitcham Dental Clinic we use cutting edge technology that can help make your crown appear to be part of your own tooth structure. Alternatively, you may need a bridge to help you touch up your smile. A bridge may be used if a single tooth or adjacent teeth are missing, or if the teeth on either side of the space are badly broken or heavily worn down.
What are the benefits of dental crowns?
- Increase the strength of a tooth.
- Restore tooth function.
- Prevent further erosion or breakage.
- Enhance the aesthetics of a tooth.
Bridges
A dental bridge is essentially a series of artificial teeth or one false tooth which is made of porcelain to replace missing teeth. A bridge can also be affixed to two artificial teeth on its side, so these outer artificial teeth can be fitted over the remaining natural teeth and render the vacant space.
Dental bridges serve to restore the aesthetics and function of your smile and can provide patients with the following benefits:
- Replace missing teeth so you can smile and speak confidently.
- Dental bridges look natural so your smile will look authentic.
- Prevents remaining teeth from moving.
- Reduces the risk of bone loss.

Mitcham Dental Clinic is honestly the best dental clinic that I've been to. Special shout-out to Sarah who is very thorough and clearly explains the work that needs to be done. I've never had an appointment where I've felt any pain (even with sensitive teeth)! The staff have a good culture and it shows in the customer experience that they provide.

I want to thank Dr. Ron and the Mitcham Dental Clinic team for their continued - excellent service. As someone phobic about being in the dentist chair, I’m always amazed at the caring, gentle and understanding approach I’ve been given. Professional, modern and I highly recommend this caring dental clinic to anyone, especially if you struggle with the idea of going to the dentist. This is the place for you.

I fell down and chipped my front tooth so I was desperately looking for a dental clinic that's still open. although it was very last minute, the clinic remained opened to see me which was such a nice gesture. Dr Trinh was very compassionate and friendly and immediately filled the tooth which now looks amazing. can't even tell the difference now! i usually am scared to go see a dentist but i felt very comfortable this time! thank you again!
