Crowns and Bridges

Strength and protection for your teeth

Dental crowns and bridges are essential for preserving and restoring your natural teeth. With our state-of-the-art CEREC technology, we can provide durable, custom-fitted restorations in just one appointment.

Dental crowns

If your tooth has a large filling, has undergone a root canal, or has a visible crack, a dental crown may be the best solution. A crown acts as a protective cap, restoring the tooth’s structure, strength, and function while preventing further damage.

Why do you need a crown?

  • Protects a weak or cracked tooth from breaking.
  • Restores a tooth after a root canal or large filling.
  • Covers and strengthens a fractured or heavily worn tooth.
  • Improves the appearance of misshapen or discoloured teeth.

    • Imagine a cracked car windscreen—it may still be intact, but any sudden impact could cause it to shatter. Similarly, a compromised tooth is at risk of breaking unexpectedly. A crown reinforces your tooth, ensuring you can enjoy your favourite foods without worry.

    Dental bridges

    A dental bridge is a fixed solution designed to replace one or more missing teeth. The bridge consists of custom-made crowns that anchor to healthy adjacent teeth, supporting a natural-looking replacement tooth in between. Unlike dental implants, a bridge does not require surgery and provides a secure, long-lasting restoration.

    Benefits of dental bridges:

  • Restores the ability to chew and speak properly.
  • Prevents neighbouring teeth from shifting out of place.
  • Maintains facial structure and aesthetics.
  • A fixed, non-removable solution for tooth loss.

    • Same-day crowns with CEREC technology

    Traditional crown treatments typically require multiple visits, messy impressions, and temporary crowns. With CEREC (Ceramic Reconstruction) technology, we can design, create, and place your crown or bridge in a single visit—saving you time and ensuring a seamless, hassle-free experience.
