Crowns and bridges are a solution to missing or damaged teeth. The procedure uses prosthetic devices to return your smile to its natural state. A crown is used when the tooth structure is damaged or fractured. A bridge is used when one or more teeth are missing.
Crowns are protective, engineered covering shells that dentists place over teeth to restore their form and function, and they can last many years with good maintenance. Dentists usually make crowns from porcelain or ceramic and match them closely to your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.
Crowns strengthen weakened teeth and help prevent further damage or fracture. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable material based on the tooth’s position, function, and your individual needs.
Bridges replace missing teeth by linking crowns together with a solid replacement tooth positioned within the gap. Dentists anchor the bridge to neighbouring teeth to restore both appearance and function. Bridges help maintain your bite and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of position. Dentists design each bridge carefully to match your natural teeth in shape and colour.
Many types of crowns and bridges exist, and your dentist will recommend the most suitable option for your needs. We always choose materials and designs that provide strength, comfort, and long lasting results.
