When a tooth is heavily decayed, cracked or root-treated, a crown restores its strength and shape. When a tooth is missing, a bridge can fill the gap using the teeth on either side for support.
Restoring damaged teeth
A crown caps a weakened tooth completely, protecting what remains and letting it chew normally again. It is a common finishing step after a root canal or a large filling.
Replacing missing teeth
A bridge spans the space left by a lost tooth, restoring your bite and stopping the neighbouring teeth from drifting. Where suitable, an implant-supported crown can replace a tooth without involving the adjacent ones.
Made to match
Crowns and bridges are made in custom ceramic, shaped and shaded to blend with your natural teeth. A prosthodontist plans the fit and finish so the result is comfortable and looks like it belongs.
