Dental Crowns & Bridges
Crowns & Bridges for a Stronger, Healthier Smile
Dental crowns and bridges are restorative treatments designed to strengthen, protect, and improve the appearance of damaged or missing teeth.
A crown is a custom-made covering placed over a weakened or heavily restored tooth to restore its shape, function, and strength. A bridge can replace one or more missing teeth by using neighbouring teeth as support, helping restore your ability to chew and smile confidently.
Why Do You Need a Crown or Bridge?
A crown or bridge may be recommended to restore the strength, function, and appearance of your teeth. Crowns are often needed for teeth that are weakened by large fillings, cracks, severe decay, or after root canal treatment to provide extra protection and prevent further damage.
Bridges are used to replace missing teeth, helping restore your bite, improve chewing ability, maintain facial support, and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting into the gap.
Your dentist will carefully assess your oral health and discuss the most suitable option to achieve a strong, natural-looking, and long-lasting result.
Crown & Bridge Procedure, Cost and Risks
The crown or bridge procedure usually requires two appointments. During the first visit, our dentist will assess your tooth, prepare it for the restoration, and take the necessary digital scans or impressions. You will leave with a temporary crown or bridge to protect your tooth and maintain your smile while your custom-made restoration is being prepared.
At the second appointment, your permanent crown or bridge will be carefully fitted, checked for comfort, bite, and appearance before being securely placed. Our dentist will ensure the restoration blends naturally with your smile and functions comfortably.
The cost of a crown or bridge depends on factors such as the type of material selected, the complexity of the case, and your individual dental needs. Our team will provide a clear explanation of the treatment options and costs before proceeding.
