Crowns & Bridge’s

Crowns and bridges are artificial teeth that provide a fast yet strong and aesthetic fix for decayed, fractured, or missing teeth. These options allow you to retain as much of your existing teeth as possible.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a single unit tooth-shaped cap that completely encloses a damaged, weakened, or severely discoloured tooth. A crown can restore strength and functionality of the structurally compromised tooth.

We custom make crowns to match the size, shape, and colour of the natural tooth it replaces.

Crowns are crafted from strong and durable materials, such as ceramic, porcelain, or gold, ensuring a natural look and long-lasting functionality.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are crowns bonded together designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They function by anchoring artificial teeth called pontics to healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.

Dental bridges are an effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth

Traditional bridges: These are the most common type and utilise crowns placed on the healthy teeth surrounding the gap to support the pontic (artificial tooth).

Cantilever bridges: Used for single missing teeth, this bridge relies on a crown placed on only one healthy tooth to support the pontic.

Maryland bridges: Primarily used for front teeth, this bridge utilises metal wings that bond to the backs of the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, rather than full crowns, to support the pontic.

Benefits of Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges offer a comprehensive range of advantages for your oral health and overall well-being:

Restored Functionality

Crowns and bridges effectively restore the natural structure and function of your teeth. This allows you to chew and speak comfortably and efficiently, preventing difficulties you might experience with damaged or missing teeth.

Enhanced Appearance and Confidence

They significantly improve the aesthetics of your smile. Crowns can cover up a discoloured or damaged tooth, while bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth, creating a more complete and natural-looking smile. This boost in confidence can positively impact your social interactions and self-esteem.

Improved Oral Health

Crowns and bridges help prevent further dental issues. Missing teeth can cause surrounding teeth to shift, leading to bite problems and jawbone deterioration. Crowns and bridges prevent these complications by stabilising your bite and maintaining the proper spacing of your teeth.
