Restoring tooth structure

What are Crowns & Bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are treatments used to restore or replace teeth that are damaged, weakened, or missing. A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. It protects the remaining tooth structure and allows the tooth to function normally again. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. It uses neighbouring teeth as support to hold an artificial tooth in place, helping restore normal chewing function and maintaining the alignment of your bite.

When teeth are damaged or missing

When do you need Crowns & Bridges?

Crowns are often recommended when a tooth is cracked, heavily filled, or weakened after treatment such as a root canal. They provide additional strength and help protect the tooth from further damage. Bridges may be recommended when teeth are missing and need to be replaced to restore chewing function and maintain proper bite alignment.

Benefits of Crowns & Bridges

Restore strength to damaged teeth

Dental crowns protect weakened teeth and restore their natural shape, allowing them to function normally when chewing and biting.

Replace missing teeth

Dental bridges fill gaps caused by missing teeth, helping restore chewing ability and preventing nearby teeth from shifting.

Protect long-term oral health

Restoring damaged or missing teeth helps maintain bite balance and reduces strain on surrounding teeth and jaw structures.

Frequently asked questions about Crowns & Bridges

How long do crowns and bridges last?

Dental crowns and bridges can last many years, with most lasting between 10 and 15 years when properly maintained. Crowns and bridges are designed to restore strength and function to damaged or missing teeth, and their longevity depends on factors such as the material used, bite pressure, and daily oral care.

Porcelain and zirconia crowns and bridges are highly durable, but like natural teeth they can wear over time. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups help protect crowns and bridges from damage or decay around the supporting teeth, allowing them to remain stable and functional for as long as possible.

What is the difference between a dental crown and a dental bridge?

Dental crowns and bridges serve different purposes, although they are often discussed together. A dental crown is a protective cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and function. A dental bridge, by contrast, replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (pontic) between neighbouring teeth or dental implants.

Both crowns and bridges are custom-made to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, allowing them to restore normal chewing function and maintain the alignment of the surrounding teeth.

Are crowns and bridges painful?

Crowns and bridges are usually not painful because the dentist numbs the area with a local anaesthetic before preparing the tooth. The crown and bridge procedure typically involves reshaping the supporting tooth, taking impressions, and placing a temporary restoration while the final crown or bridge is fabricated.

Most patients feel only pressure or vibration during the appointment rather than pain. After crowns and bridges are placed, mild sensitivity may occur for a short period while the tooth and surrounding tissues adjust. This sensitivity usually settles quickly as the restoration becomes fully integrated into the bite.

How long does the crown and bridge procedure take?

Crowns and bridges usually takes two appointments to complete. During the first visit, the dentist prepares the tooth, removes any damaged tissue, and takes detailed impressions so the crown or bridge can be custom-made in a dental laboratory.

A temporary crown or bridge is often placed to protect the tooth while the final restoration is created. At the second appointment, the permanent crowns and bridges are carefully fitted, adjusted, and bonded into place to ensure proper bite alignment and comfort.

What problems can crowns and bridges fix?

Crowns and bridges are used to restore teeth that are damaged, weakened, or missing. Dental crowns can protect teeth that are cracked, severely worn, or treated with root canal therapy, helping restore strength and normal chewing function. Dental bridges replace missing teeth by filling the gap between healthy teeth, preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting out of position.

By restoring the shape and structure of the bite, crowns and bridges improve chewing, speech, and long-term stability of the surrounding teeth and jaw.
