About crowns & bridges

A crown is a cap that covers a tooth completely, restoring its shape and strength. It protects a tooth that is cracked, heavily filled or root-treated, and can transform the look of a discoloured tooth.

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth to crowns on the teeth either side. It is fixed in place, so there is nothing to take out — and it can also be supported by implants.

This may be suitable if you have

  • A cracked or heavily filled tooth
  • A tooth after root canal treatment
  • A badly discoloured or misshapen tooth
  • One or two missing teeth

How treatment works

  1. Prepare

    The tooth is numbed and shaped, a scan taken and a temporary crown fitted the same day.

  2. Craft

    Our laboratory makes your crown or bridge to the scan, matched to the shade of your teeth.

  3. Fit

    The final crown or bridge is checked for fit, bite and colour, then cemented in place.

Frequently asked questions

How long do crowns last?

With good care, ten to fifteen years or more. Grinding, biting hard objects and poor cleaning shorten their life.

Zirconia or porcelain — which should I choose?

Zirconia is extremely strong and suits back teeth; all-ceramic crowns are the most lifelike for front teeth. We advise based on where the tooth is and how you bite.

How do I clean under a bridge?

With a floss threader or a small interdental brush every day. We show you how at the fitting appointment.
