Dental Crowns & Bridges
Restoring strength and protecting smiles
Custom, colour-matched, and perfectly fitted restorations
Dental crowns and bridges play a crucial role in preserving natural teeth and restoring oral function. They are custom-made restorations designed to strengthen damaged teeth or replace missing teeth, helping you maintain a healthy, confident smile. Thanks to modern techniques and premium materials, today’s crowns and bridges are more comfortable, precise, and natural-looking than ever.
Dental crowns
A dental crown is a protective cap that covers a weakened or damaged tooth. It restores strength, shape, and appearance while helping prevent further deterioration. Crowns are recommended for teeth that have:
- A severe cavity or a large filling
- Undergone a root canal treatment
- Visible fractures, cracks, or heavy wear
- Aesthetic concerns, such as significant discolouration or irregular shape
Why a crown may be needed:
A compromised tooth, such as one with a significant crack or decay, is structurally weakened and susceptible to fracture. A dental crown provides essential reinforcement and protection, restoring its ability to withstand the forces of biting and chewing, and allowing you to smile confidently.
Dental bridges
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth without the need for surgery. It consists of one or more artificial teeth supported by crowns placed on neighbouring natural teeth.
Benefits of a dental bridge:
- Restores the ability to chew and speak clearly
- Prevents adjacent teeth from shifting into the gap
- Maintains proper facial structure and smile aesthetics
- Provides a secure, fixed solution to tooth loss
Bridges are carefully designed to blend in with your natural teeth, offering both function and appearance.
Modern dental crowns and bridges
Today’s crowns and bridges are crafted with the support of advanced digital technologies that enhance precision, comfort, and efficiency.
High-definition 3D scanning captures detailed images of your teeth, eliminating the need for traditional impressions.
Digital design software allows for precise customisation of shape, fit, and colour before fabrication begins.
In-house fabrication techniques
Milling: Advanced CEREC technology allows for the precise crafting dental crowns and bridges from a solid ceramic block during a single visit. These restorations exhibit exceptional strength and possess natural light-reflecting properties that closely mimic the translucency of natural tooth enamel.
3D Printing: Advanced additive manufacturing with hybrid ceramic materials enables the rapid creation of strong and aesthetically pleasing dental crowns.
The precise nature of 3D printing ensures a restoration that integrates seamlessly with your original teeth.
The goal of both techniques is to provide strong, aesthetic, and comfortable restorations, significantly reducing the waiting time associated with traditional lab processes that can take weeks for creation and transport to dental practices.
What to expect
A typical crown or bridge treatment involves:
1. Comprehensive examination and digital scans
2. Precise digital design of your restoration
3. Fabrication using milling or 3D printing technology
4. Placement and final adjustments for a perfect fit
This modern approach ensures your new restoration is tailored specifically to your smile, helping you regain function and confidence with minimal disruption.
