Restoring Your Smile With Crowns And Bridges
Dental bridges and dental crowns are both restorative dental treatments used to address different issues related to damaged or missing teeth.
A dental crown, also known as a dental cap, is a tooth-shaped covering that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. We often recommended this treatment when a tooth has extensive decay, a large filling, a weakened structure, or has undergone root canal therapy. Dental crowns can be made from various materials such as porcelain, metal alloys, or a combination of both. Porcelain crown’s can be milled to the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing a natural-looking and functional restoration.
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth, It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that bridge the gap formed by one or more missing teeth and are held in place by dental crowns on the adjacent teeth or dental implants. Bridges are typically made from materials like porcelain, metal alloys, or a combination of both and they can help restore the appearance of your smile, improve your ability to chew and speak properly, and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting.

What are the benefits of dental crowns and bridges?
Improve Your Appearance
Damaged or missing teeth can drastically change the appearance of your smile, so if you want to restore your smile , crowns and bridges can repair aesthetic damage as well as restore your teeth’s functionality.
Prevent Structural Issues
Missing teeth can affect the structure of your whole mouth by causing you to chew and bite differently, causing surrounding teeth to shift, and even causing bone loss. Dental bridge and crown treatment can replace missing teeth and prevent structural issues from occurring.
Crowns and Bridges Are Easy to Maintain
Crowns and bridges aren’t removable. They’re permanently fixed to your existing teeth. So to clean them, all you need to do is carry out your usual dental hygiene routine.
We can offer crowns and bridges that are made from porcelain, a material that feels similar to natural teeth. So one of the biggest benefits of crowns and bridges is that once fitted, they are barely noticeable and they will blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth.
