Crowns and bridges explained

Crowns and bridges explained

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, decayed or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. Crowns are used after root canal treatment, to protect a heavily filled tooth, or to improve the look of a misshapen or discoloured tooth.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more false teeth (called pontics) held in place by crowns fitted to the natural teeth on either side of the gap, creating a fixed, natural-looking replacement.

01

Consultation and preparation

We assess the tooth and prepare it by removing any damaged areas and shaping it to accommodate the crown. A local anaesthetic is used throughout.

02

Impressions

Precise impressions of the prepared tooth are taken and sent to our dental laboratory, where your custom crown or bridge is crafted.

03

Temporary restoration

A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent restoration is being made.

04

Fitting

At your second appointment, the finished crown or bridge is checked for fit, colour and comfort, then permanently bonded in place.

Dental crowns and bridges FAQs

How long do crowns and bridges last?

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, a well-made crown or bridge can last 10 to 15 years or longer. The 2-year guarantee crown option provides additional peace of mind.

Are crowns and bridges painful to fit?

Are crowns and bridges painful to fit?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should feel no discomfort during treatment. Some mild sensitivity around the tooth afterwards is normal and usually settles quickly.

What material are your crowns made from?

What material are your crowns made from?

We use high-quality white ceramic crowns that closely match the appearance of natural teeth. Your dentist will discuss the most suitable material for your individual case.

How do I care for a crown or bridge?

How do I care for a crown or bridge?

Crowns and bridges should be cared for just like natural teeth — brush twice daily and clean between teeth with floss or interdental brushes. For bridges, a special floss threader or interdental brush helps clean underneath the pontic.

Is a bridge a good alternative to a dental implant?

Is a bridge a good alternative to a dental implant?

Both are effective ways to replace missing teeth. A bridge is generally quicker and less expensive, but requires the adjacent teeth to be prepared. A dental implant is a standalone replacement that doesn’t affect neighbouring teeth. Your dentist will help you decide which is right for you.

What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?

What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?

A crown covers the entire tooth and is used mainly for strength and protection. A veneer covers only the front surface and is primarily cosmetic. Your dentist will advise which is more appropriate for your situation.
