Dental crowns
A crown covers and protects a tooth that is worn, broken or heavily filled. Crowns can also form part of a bridge or an implant restoration.
The dentist examines the tooth and discusses the material, preparation and appointments needed for your treatment.
Depending on the treatment, the tooth may be prepared and an impression taken so the crown can be made. A temporary crown may protect the tooth while the final crown is prepared.
Dental bridges
A bridge can replace a missing tooth using support from neighbouring teeth. The suitability of a bridge depends on your oral health and the teeth around the gap.
We can explain the alternatives and develop a treatment plan with you.
There are different types of bridge. Your dentist can explain how a bridge is supported, what preparation is needed and how to look after it.
