Crowns and bridges

Dental Crowns

A Dental Crown is essentially, a “cap” which is fitted over an existing tooth to strengthen, restore or improve its appearance. In many cases, patients with insufficient tooth structure have crowns placed instead of a restoration. Additionally, we use crowns to strengthen a tooth in order to accommodate the attachment of a fixed bridge.

Dental Bridges

For patients who have one or more teeth missing, we can restore the balance of your smile very effectively with bridge treatments. A bridge is a prosthetic device that is anchored to neighbouring teeth, which replaces the missing tooth or teeth. When a lost tooth is replaced with bridgework, the teeth on either side of the missing tooth are prepared as crowns in order to hold the prosthetic in place. With bridge treatments, smiles showing gaps from missing teeth can be restored to their natural state.
