Crowns and bridges
Information About This Service
Crowns and bridges are fixed dental restorations designed to strengthen teeth, restore function, and improve appearance. Unlike dentures, they are permanently fixed to your natural teeth or dental implants and cannot be removed.
Crowns
A dental crown is a protective cap that covers the entire surface of a natural tooth. Crowns are often used when a tooth is broken, heavily decayed, or weakened after a large filling or root canal treatment. They can also be used for cosmetic purposes to improve the shape, size, or colour of a tooth. Crowns are available in different materials, including porcelain for a natural look or metal for added strength.
Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth held in place by crowns attached to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. Like crowns, bridges can be made from a variety of materials, with porcelain options available to blend in with your natural teeth for a seamless smile.
Benefits of Crowns and Bridges
- Restore function – Crowns and bridges make it easier to bite and chew properly, improving comfort when eating.
- Improve appearance – They restore the natural shape, size, and colour of teeth, giving you a healthier and more confident smile.
- Protect weak teeth – Crowns strengthen and protect teeth that are broken, heavily filled, or weakened after treatment.
- Replace missing teeth – Bridges provide a fixed, secure way to fill gaps caused by missing teeth without the need for removable dentures.
- Maintain dental health – By filling gaps, bridges help prevent neighbouring teeth from drifting out of position, which could otherwise cause bite problems.
- Durable and long-lasting – With good care, crowns and bridges can last many years, offering a reliable solution for restoring your smile.
