Crowns & Bridges

Why Choose Our Dental Clinic?

A Crown is a ‘cap’ that fits over the entire surface of the tooth. The process of making a crown involves trimming the tooth down to the desired shape. The diagnosis of tooth preparation is taken and from the impression of the dentist, then the crown will be constructed in the laboratory. Once fabricated, the crown is fitted over the tooth surface and it is bonded in place using dental cement. The shape, size, colour, and surface characteristics of a crown are closely matched to the surrounding teeth.

Bridges have been used for many decades to replace lost teeth or to restore pre-existing gaps. Bridgework consists of more than one crown unit joined together. They are fitted over existing teeth to replace the missing tooth. It is constructed of similar materials to crowns. The permanent restorations, although in many cases, have now taken place by the use of dental implants to replace toothless spaces.
