Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns are an artificial replacement or “cap” for natural teeth. They are made of metal, porcelain or zirconia in most cases and are designed to be placed over a tooth, covering it either partially or completely. As such, they are a great option for teeth that are weakened, such as teeth with large fillings, cracks, or teeth that have gone through a root canal treatment. Unlike dental implants, they don’t require the tooth to be removed.

Crowns are also often considered as a cosmetic option, allowing people to permanently alter the shape and colour of their teeth. As they are very strong, crowns are a great way to prolong the life of the natural teeth beneath, too.

As the name implies, dental bridges are artificial teeth, often made of metal, porcelain, or gold, that are used to “bridge” the gap between existing natural teeth.

While dental crowns are suggested in cases with damaged or weakened teeth, dental bridges are more suitable for those with missing teeth. The natural teeth one or both sides of the gap must have crowns fitted to support the bridge.

The benefits of dental crowns and bridges

• Restore your smile aesthetically, helping to boost your confidence and ability to smile freely without self-consciousness
• Can be used as a cosmetic treatment to help correct issues of discolouration, shape, and damage.
• Can help you chew and speak properly, as missing teeth can impact your ability to do these things.
• issing or damaged teeth can cause other teeth to drift out of position over time, leading to further problems. Crowns and bridges can stop this from happening.
