PROSTHETIC TREATMENT
WHY CROWNS AND BRIDGES?
A crown covers and strengthens a damaged tooth, while a bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth by joining to the teeth on either side. Both restore your bite, your comfort and the look of your smile.
THE PROCESS
Crowns and bridges are usually completed in two visits, and we keep you comfortable throughout.
We check your teeth, gums and bone to plan the right crown or bridge.
Under local anaesthesia, the teeth are gently shaped, and impressions or scans are taken.
A temporary crown or bridge protects your teeth while the final one is made.
The permanent crown or bridge is fitted, checked for bite and colour and cemented in place.
THE BENEFITS
Brings back strength for everyday eating.
Bridges replace missing teeth without removable parts.
Colour and shape matched to your own teeth.
Durable materials that can last many years with good care.
