Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns can be thought of as a “cover” or a “cap” that provides full-coverage protection for a damaged tooth. Dental bridges consist of 2 crowns that are fitted onto existing teeth adjacent to a space created by missing teeth. Artificial teeth connected between the crowns will ‘bridge’ the gap.

Why might I need a crown or bridge?

Crowns have both aesthetic and functional benefits.

  • Covering a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth
  • Covering a tooth that has had root canal treatment
  • Restoring a tooth that has a very big hole that a normal filling would not last

    Crowns and Bridges vs Dentures

    Unlike removable devices like dentures, which you have to take out and clean daily, crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth and can only be removed by a dentist.This means they function and feel more like your natural teeth.
