Crowns & Bridges

A crown covers the remaining tooth structure entirely, fitting precisely over the original tooth, sealing it and preventing further infection and decay. Once restored with a dental crown, your tooth will be the right size, shape, and color, and will look and feel entirely natural. You will be able to bite and chew comfortably and smile with complete confidence.

A bridge is used to restore teeth that could not be saved, filling in the gap left behind. It is important to replace teeth that are missing as leaving space can negatively impact your oral health. The adjacent teeth can drift towards the gap, affecting their stability and your bite, and of course your appearance.

A dental bridge can restore one or more teeth missing in the same area of the mouth, using natural teeth for support. When making a bridge, it is necessary to shape the teeth adjacent to the gap so crowns can be made to fit over these teeth. Each replacement tooth is called a pontic and is attached to the dental crowns, forming a strong, durable restoration. Once fitted in the mouth, the bridge is strong enough so you can bite and chew normally and comfortably. The pontic rests on the gums, creating a natural-looking appearance.

The most modern crowns and bridges are made from advanced porcelains that are very different from restorations made even a few years ago. Now, it is possible to have a crown or bridge that is entirely made from porcelain and which provides excellent aesthetics. All-ceramic crowns allow the light to pass through the restoration in a way that is very similar to real teeth. Also, our restorations are made by skilled technicians who will accurately match the shade of your new crown or bridge to your natural teeth. The overall effect is very pleasing and attractive, helping to perfect and protect your smile.
