Overview

Crowns and bridges, explained

A crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged tooth to restore strength, shape and appearance, commonly recommended for cracked or heavily filled teeth, after root canal therapy, or when wear has weakened enamel. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a lifelike pontic to the teeth or implants beside the gap, helping prevent drifting and keeping your bite stable.

We use modern, metal-free ceramics: zirconia for high strength in back teeth, and e.max (lithium-disilicate) for lifelike translucency in the smile zone. Bridge designs include traditional, resin-bonded (Maryland) and implant-supported options. Each restoration is designed from digital scans and colour-matched to blend seamlessly with your teeth.

Questions

About this treatment

It depends on the tooth and your goals. e.max offers lifelike translucency, great for front teeth and premolars, while zirconia is extremely strong and often preferred for high-load molars. Both are metal-free.
Typically two visits about one to two weeks apart: preparation with a comfortable temporary, then fitting and bonding of your custom restoration from our trusted lab.
Implants replace the tooth root and preserve bone. Bridges are a fixed solution when implants aren't suitable or you prefer to avoid surgery. We compare suitability, timelines and costs for you.
Clean beneath the pontic daily with superfloss, floss threaders or interdental brushes, plus your usual brushing. A water flosser helps around the margins.
