Whether a tooth is damaged, weakened or missing, dental crowns and bridges can help restore your smile, chewing comfort and everyday function.
Both are fixed dental restorations, but they solve different problems.
A crown covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth, helping restore its strength, shape and function.
A bridge is used to replace a missing tooth and restore the gap in your smile.
When a tooth has lost significant strength because of decay, a large filling, fracture or Root Canal Treatment, a crown can help protect the remaining tooth structure.
Every restoration is planned according to the condition of your tooth, your bite and the surrounding teeth.
Your tooth is examined and the treatment is planned.
The tooth is prepared to create space for the crown.
Your restoration is designed according to fit and function.
The crown is fitted and adjusted for comfort and bite.
The most suitable material depends on the tooth being restored, its location, your bite and your aesthetic requirements.
A strong and durable option designed for both function and a natural appearance.
Aesthetic restorations designed to blend naturally with surrounding teeth.
When a tooth is missing, the empty space can affect chewing, appearance and the position of surrounding teeth. A dental bridge may be a suitable fixed solution in selected cases.
Depending on your individual condition, replacing a missing tooth can help restore function and prevent unwanted changes around the space.
Digital workflows and modern planning tools can help us visualise, design and plan restorations with greater precision.
The shape and shade of the restoration can be planned to blend as naturally as possible with the surrounding teeth.
Appropriate local anaesthesia is used when required to keep you comfortable during tooth preparation and treatment.
A clinical examination helps determine whether an existing tooth needs protection or whether a missing tooth needs replacement.
Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, bite forces, the condition of supporting teeth and regular dental care.
You don't need to figure it out yourself. Let us assess your teeth and explain the treatment options that may be suitable for you.
