Crowns, Onlays & Bridges
Crowns, Onlays & Bridges
Unfortunately, the strength of a tooth is never the same after it develops a cavity or crack. Dental fillings may replace lost tooth structure but may not always contribute to the overall strength and therefore, longevity of the tooth. In some cases of extensive damage, Dental Crowns are a form of restorative dental treatment that can provide strength and resilience to teeth that have suffered significant damage.
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is an artificial tooth ‘cap’ or helmet that’s placed over an entire tooth to restore it, improve its appearance and function. Crowns and Bridges are usually made of porcelain, metal or a combination of both. Our dentists will determine the best material for you depending on the current state of your existing tooth.
What is a dental bridge?
A bridge for teeth is a dental treatment designed to replace missing teeth – if you’ve lost a tooth as a result of an accident or tooth decay our dentists can restore your smile using a dental bridge.
