What Are Dental Crowns & Bridges?
Dental Crowns & Bridges are long-lasting restorative treatments used to repair damaged teeth or replace missing ones. A dental crown covers and protects a weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and natural appearance. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the surrounding teeth or dental implants for stability and balance.
Common reasons patients choose Crowns & Bridges:
- Repairing cracked, worn, or broken teeth
- Replacing one or more missing teeth
- Restoring full chewing function and bite alignment
- Preventing teeth from shifting out of position
- Improving the strength, appearance, and comfort of your smile
Crowns & Bridges provide a reliable, natural-looking solution that restores your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. With proper care, these restorations offer long-term protection and help maintain a healthy, well-balanced smile.
The Crowns & Bridges Procedure
The process of receiving dental crowns & bridges is straightforward and tailored to restore strength, stability, and natural aesthetics to your smile. We begin with a consultation to assess your teeth, review your goals, and determine whether a crown, bridge, or combination is the ideal solution for your oral health. After identifying the right treatment, we gently prepare the supporting teeth and take precise digital impressions. These measurements are sent to a dental lab, where your custom crown or bridge is crafted for a perfect fit, colour match, and natural appearance. While your final restoration is being created, a temporary crown or bridge may be placed to protect your teeth and maintain your smile. At your final visit, your permanent restoration is securely bonded into place. We make fine adjustments to ensure a comfortable bite and seamless look. The result is a strong, natural-looking smile that restores full chewing function and boosts long-term oral health.
Crowns & Bridges Care Tips
Caring for your dental crowns & bridges helps protect your restoration and maintain long-term oral health. With proper hygiene and a few simple habits, crowns and bridges can stay strong, functional, and natural-looking for many years.
Follow these helpful aftercare tips to protect your investment and keep your smile strong, stable, and confident.
Brush and Floss Daily
Brush twice a day and floss daily to prevent plaque around the crown or bridge. This protects both your restoration and your natural teeth.
Avoid Hard Biting
Crowns and bridges are durable, but biting ice, hard candies, or pens can cause damage. Avoid these habits to protect your restoration.
Limit Staining Foods
Drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine can stain surrounding teeth. Rinse after consuming to keep your smile bright and consistent in colour.
Schedule Regular Checkups
Routine dental visits allow us to monitor your crown or bridge, check your bite, and address small issues early for long-lasting results.
