Crowns & Bridges
Custom-made caps and fixed replacements that restore damaged teeth or fill gaps left by missing teeth, rebuilding strength and a natural look.
What Is Crowns & Bridges?
A crown is a custom-made cap that covers and protects a damaged or heavily filled tooth, while a bridge uses crowns on neighbouring teeth to support a replacement tooth and close a gap without removable appliances.
Both are fabricated to match the shape, size and shade of your natural teeth, restoring full chewing function and a confident smile for many years with proper care.
- Restores strength to heavily damaged or root-canal-treated teeth
- Fixed bridge option avoids removable appliances
- Shade-matched materials for a natural appearance
- Temporary crown provided while the permanent one is made
- Long-lasting with proper oral hygiene
Signs You May Need Crowns & Bridges
- A tooth that is cracked, heavily filled or root-canal-treated
- One or more missing teeth affecting your bite or appearance
- A weakened tooth at risk of fracturing under normal biting
- You’d prefer a fixed solution over a removable denture

What Happens, Step by Step
Assessment & Planning
The dentist examines the tooth or gap and plans the crown or bridge design.
Tooth Preparation
The tooth (or supporting teeth for a bridge) is shaped to receive the restoration.
Impressions & Temporary
Precise impressions are taken and a temporary crown or bridge is fitted while the permanent one is made.
Custom Fabrication
Your restoration is crafted in the lab to match your bite and natural tooth shade.
Final Fitting
The permanent crown or bridge is checked for fit and comfort, then cemented into place.
Common Questions About Crowns & Bridges
With good care, they typically last 10–15 years or longer before needing replacement or adjustment.
Yes — crowns are shade-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
No, the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, and most patients feel only mild sensitivity afterward.
A bridge relies on neighbouring teeth for support, while an implant is anchored directly into the jawbone — your dentist can advise which suits your case.
