Restorations That Look Like Teeth

A crown rebuilds a tooth that has too little left to hold a filling. A bridge replaces one that has already gone, anchored to the teeth either side. Both are made to millimetre tolerances and both live or die by the same two things: how well the margin fits, and how healthy the gum around it stays.

We prepare under magnification, agree the shade and shape with you before anything goes to the laboratory, and check the fit against your bite before it is cemented.

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are used to fill the gaps left by missing teeth. Anchored by crowns on adjacent teeth, they restore your smile’s function and appearance, while also preventing further oral health issues.

The Importance of Dental Bridges:

Filling GapsBridges close spaces left by missing teeth, preventing misalignment and other dental complications.
Restoring Bite FunctionEating becomes easier and more enjoyable, allowing you to maintain a varied diet.
Preserving Facial StructureMissing teeth can affect the shape of your face over time—bridges help keep everything in place.
Improving SpeechBridges can help you speak clearly by filling the gaps left by missing teeth.

Types of Dental Bridges:

Traditional BridgesThese use crowns on either side of the gap to hold the bridge in place.
Cantilever BridgesWhen there’s only one supporting tooth, a cantilever bridge provides the necessary support.
Maryland BridgesA less invasive option, these bridges use a metal or porcelain framework attached to the back of adjacent teeth.
Implant-Supported BridgesFor maximum stability and durability, this type is anchored directly into the jawbone via dental implants.

Crowns

The Role of Dental Crowns:

Protecting Weak TeethCrowns provide support for teeth that are cracked or vulnerable to further damage.
Restoring FunctionWhether due to decay, injury, or wear, crowns bring back the full function and appearance of damaged teeth.
Enhancing AestheticsCrowns can improve the look of teeth with discoloration, irregular shape, or other cosmetic concerns.
Supporting BridgesCrowns serve as anchor points for dental bridges, filling gaps left by missing teeth.
Post-Root Canal CareAfter a root canal, crowns offer additional strength and protection for the treated tooth.

Choosing the Right Crown:

Porcelain Crowns: Ideal for visible teeth, they blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

Metal Crowns: Made from gold or other alloys, they provide extra durability, especially for back teeth that endure heavy chewing.

Advanced Dental Restorations Tailored to Your Needs

Assessment and plan

We check the tooth, your bite and the gum around it, take any x-rays needed, and agree what the restoration actually has to do.

Preparation

The tooth is numbed and shaped so the crown or bridge has room to sit without looking bulky or feeling high.

Impression or scan

We record the shape of your teeth and the way they meet, and match the shade against the teeth beside it.

A temporary in place

You leave with a temporary fitted, so the tooth is protected and you can eat and smile normally while the work is made.

Fit and final check

The finished crown or bridge is tried in, checked against your bite and the shade in daylight, adjusted, and then cemented.

At our practice, we specialize in creating high-quality dental crowns and bridges that restore both the function and appearance of your teeth. Combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, we ensure long-lasting results that look natural and feel great.

Dental crowns and bridges are time-tested solutions for repairing damaged teeth or replacing missing ones. Using state-of-the-art materials, we provide personalized treatments to give you a confident, healthy smile that stands the test of time.

Dental Crowns & Bridges for a Healthy, Confident Smile

Our dental crowns and bridges are designed to do more than just restore your teeth—they help you regain your confidence. Whether you need to protect a damaged tooth or replace missing ones, we use the latest in dental technology to deliver natural-looking results.

By combining the strength of modern materials with precision care, we offer crowns and bridges that are built to last, keeping your smile healthy and functional for years to come.

Our Approach To Crowns and Bridges

Most crowns fail at the edge, not in the middle. That is why the preparation is done under magnification and the margin is placed where you can actually clean it, rather than buried under the gum where it will collect plaque for the next ten years.

Nothing is cemented until the fit, the bite and the shade are all right.

Your Crown and Bridge Questions, Answered

Well made and well looked after, ten years or more is common. What shortens them is rarely the material — it is what happens underneath, at the margin and in the gum. Cleaning around the edges and keeping up with hygiene visits matters more than anything else.

The tooth is numbed first, so the preparation itself should not hurt. It is normal for the tooth to feel sensitive for a few days afterwards while it settles, particularly to cold.

A crown covers and protects one tooth that is broken, heavily filled or root treated. A bridge replaces a tooth that is already missing, by anchoring a false tooth to the teeth either side of the gap, or to an implant.

The shade is agreed with you before the work goes to the laboratory and checked again in daylight at the fit appointment. If it is not right, it goes back. A crown is only finished when it disappears among the teeth around it.

It depends on the material and how many units are involved. You will have the full figure in writing before treatment starts, with 0% finance options where eligible.
