Veneers, Crowns & Bridges
Restore strength, beauty and harmony to your smile.
When a tooth is worn, broken or missing, we don’t want you to settle. At Ashmore Smiles, our veneers, crowns and bridges bring both function and finesse — so your smile looks natural and feels secure.
When Veneers, Crowns or Bridges Are the Right Choice
Sometimes a tooth is intact but flawed — discoloured, chipped, misshapen and veneers can correct that without heavy alteration. Other times, a tooth is weakened (after decay or root canal), and it needs full protection via a crown. Or perhaps you’re missing one or more teeth altogether — that’s when a bridge fills the gap, anchoring from neighbouring teeth.
With these treatments, we restore:
- Appearance: matching colour, shape, symmetry
- Function: biting, chewing, speaking comfortably
- Structure: prevent shifting, preserve jaw & oral health
What We Offer
These treatments can be used separately or together, depending on your smile goals and oral health situation.
Veneers
Ultra-thin shells bonded to the front of teeth. Ideal when you want to fix minor chips, close small gaps, cover stains, or refine shape. Minimal tooth preparation required.
Crowns (Dental Caps)
For teeth that are worn, cracked, or structurally compromised. We reshape the existing tooth and place a custom “cap” that protects and restores it. Crowns often follow root canal treatments too.
Bridges
To replace one or more missing teeth, we anchor a false tooth (or teeth) between crowns on adjacent healthy teeth or implants. This fills the gap, restores your bite, and keeps neighbouring teeth from drifting.
How the Process Works (What to Expect)
1
Consultation & Planning
We talk through your concerns, take photos, scans, and map out what combination (veneer, crown, bridge) makes the most sense for your smile and budget.
2
Tooth Preparation / Shaping
A little enamel may be removed so the veneer, crown or bridge fits naturally in line with your other teeth.
3
Impressions / Digital Scans
We capture precise models or digital scans of your teeth so the lab can craft your custom restorations.
4
Temporary / Trial Phase
We often place temporary veneers or crowns while your final ones are being made. You try them, we refine fit, shape, colour.
5
Final Placement
Your permanent veneer, crown or bridge is bonded or cemented. We check bite, comfort, aesthetics — any tweaks are done on the spot.
6
Follow-Up & Maintenance
We see you again to confirm everything feels right. With good care, these restorations can last many years.
What You’ll Feel & Recovery
- Some sensitivity or mild soreness is normal for a day or two after preparation.
- Eating soft foods initially is wise; avoid hard, sticky items until fully settled.
- Everyday brushing and flossing are key — we’ll give you instructions tailored to bridges & crowns.
- Regular check-ups help us catch small issues (like minor chips, wear) early.

Pricing & What to Expect Cost-wise
Because each case is unique — materials, number of teeth, complexity, lab fees — we can’t commit to a flat number without seeing you. But for context:
- Veneers (single tooth) tend to be less costly than full crowns, but still premium quality
- Crowns may cost more due to full coverage and lab work
- Bridges add the cost of multiple crowns + the pontic tooth
At Ashmore Smiles, you’ll receive a full breakdown in your consultation — materials, labour, final vs temporary stages. We offer payment plans and help you choose options that balance quality and affordability.
FAQs
Will my veneers / crowns look fake?
No. We choose shades, shapes, translucency to match your natural teeth so restorations look seamless.
How long do they last?
With proper care, high-quality crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or more. Veneers also last many years when maintained well.
Does it hurt?
We use local anaesthetic. You’ll feel pressure or vibration, not pain. Discomfort afterward is mild and temporary.
Can I still floss / clean around bridges?
Yes — we’ll show you flossing or interdental cleaning methods (threaders, floss picks) so you maintain gum health under and around bridges.
What if my supporting teeth weaken later?
Good question. We assess the health of supporting teeth before placing a bridge. If a supporting tooth fails later, we’ll revisit the plan (possibly modify or replace).
