Crowns and Bridges

WHY CROWNS AND BRIDGES?

Repair Damaged Teeth, Replace Missing Ones

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

What to Expect

Crowns and bridges are usually completed in two visits, and we keep you comfortable throughout.

1

Examination & X-ray

We check your teeth, gums and bone to plan the right crown or bridge.

2

Tooth Preparation

Under local anaesthesia, the teeth are gently shaped, and impressions or scans are taken.

3

Temporary Restoration

A temporary crown or bridge protects your teeth while the final one is made.

4

Final Fitting

The permanent crown or bridge is fitted, checked for bite and colour and cemented in place.
