Crowns & Bridges
Crowns
When a tooth is damaged, weakened, or heavily decayed, a dental crown can restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment often need crowns as well, to protect them from breaking and ensure long-term durability.
2 appointments are required, about 1 to 2 weeks apart.
Dental Bridge
When a tooth is missing, a dental bridge can restore your smile and help you chew and speak properly. Bridges are a reliable solution that “bridges” the gap using artificial teeth anchored to your natural teeth or implants.
What Happens During the Bridge Process?
Step 1: Preparing the Teeth
Your dentist will shape the teeth next to the gap to act as anchors for the bridge. Local anesthesia ensures this step is comfortable and pain-free.
Step 2: Making an Impression
An impression of your teeth is taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly and matches the colour of your natural teeth.
Step 3: Temporary
While your permanent bridge is being made in our lab, a temporary protective crown is placed on your teeth.
Step 4: Placing the Permanent Bridge
At your next visit, the temporary crowns are removed, and your custom bridge is cemented into place. Your dentist will check the fit, bite, and appearance to ensure it feels natural.
With proper care, dental bridges look, feel, and function like natural teeth, helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
