You may need a bridge or crown if you have missing or damaged teeth.
Dental Bridges: These are false teeth placed over dental implants where teeth are missing. Bridges are supported by crowns on nearby teeth. If there are no surrounding teeth, or if front teeth need replacing, a cantilever bridge or composite resin bonding might be used.
Dental Crowns:These are partial false teeth bonded to damaged or discolored teeth to restore their strength and look. Crowns also support bridges and can strengthen teeth after a root canal.
If you need a bridge, you will first need dental implants. These must fuse with your jaw for at least six months before the bridges can be placed.Our dentists will take an impression of your mouth during your consultation to ensure a custom fit. We will prepare any teeth that will be covered with crowns by removing the outer layer and placing a temporary crown. This temporary crown should be worn until your next visit.Once your new bridge or crowns are ready, we will fit and bond them in place using local or general anaesthetic. You can eat and drink normally after the procedure and should continue brushing and flossing to prevent tooth decay.
Dental bridges and crowns enhance the appearance and health of your mouth. They help to:
Restore your smile after tooth loss or damage
Prevent teeth from shifting into empty spaces

Dental crowns and bridges are essential treatments to enhance dental function and aesthetics.
Dental Crown:A crown is a cap, typically made of ceramic or porcelain, placed over a damaged or decayed tooth. It strengthens the tooth and restores its natural appearance and shape. Crowns can also cover implants, attach bridges, and protect teeth after root canal treatment.
Dental Bridge: A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth held in place by crowns on adjacent teeth, filling the gap and preventing remaining teeth from shifting, which can cause bite issues and other problems.
Cost
The cost of dental bridge work varies depending on the type and complexity of the bridge.

Dental crowns, bridges, and veneers each serve unique purposes in dental care.
Dental Crowns and Bridges:
- Crowns cover the entire tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. They are used for damaged or decayed teeth, covering implants, or after root canal treatment.
- Bridges replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth supported by crowns on adjacent teeth, filling gaps and preventing remaining teeth from shifting.
Dental Veneers:
- Veneers are thin coverings attached to the front surface of the teeth to enhance their appearance. They address issues like discoloration, minor misalignments, and gaps.
- Unlike crowns and bridges, veneers do not cover the entire tooth or replace missing teeth. They involve minimal alteration to the existing tooth structure.
Each treatment option has specific uses and benefits, depending on your dental needs. For personalized advice, contact us to schedule a consultation.
You cannot whiten dental crowns and bridges like natural teeth. The materials used—such as porcelain, ceramic, or composite resin—are durable and do not respond to traditional teeth whitening treatments. Their colour is permanent and intended to match surrounding teeth.
If you plan to whiten your natural teeth, do so before getting crowns or bridges. This ensures a consistent smile appearance. If your existing restorations become stained, contact us to discuss replacement options that match your current tooth colour and enhance your smile.
