Our Crown & Bridge Process
Assessment
We examine the tooth or missing area, check the surrounding teeth and discuss whether a crown or bridge is appropriate.
Treatment Planning
The restoration is planned around your bite, dental health, appearance and the amount of healthy tooth structure available.
Tooth Preparation
Where required, the supporting tooth or teeth are carefully prepared to make room for the restoration.
Design & Try-In
Measurements or digital scans may be used to create the restoration. A temporary restoration may be provided when needed.
Final Fit & Review
The finished crown or bridge is checked for fit, bite and appearance before it is securely placed. Follow-up helps assess comfort and function.
Benefits of Dental Crowns & Bridges
Restore tooth function
Rebuilds the shape of a damaged tooth so it can contribute to normal chewing.
Protect a weakened tooth
A crown can cover and support a tooth that has lost significant structure.
Replace missing teeth
A fixed bridge can fill a gap and restore a more complete dental arch.
Support a natural appearance
Suitable ceramic or porcelain options can be planned to blend with surrounding teeth.
Improve everyday comfort
A well-fitted restoration can make chewing and speaking feel more natural.
Make maintenance manageable
Good brushing, cleaning between teeth and regular reviews help protect the restoration.
Recovery & Aftercare
Some patients notice mild sensitivity or gum tenderness after a crown or bridge is fitted. This usually settles as the tissues adapt.
Keep the area clean with regular brushing and careful cleaning between teeth, especially around a bridge. Follow the instructions given for your restoration, avoid using teeth as tools, and attend recommended reviews so the fit, bite and surrounding teeth can be checked.
A restoration still needs regular care. Good oral hygiene and routine dental reviews can help maintain the tooth, gums and restoration over time.

FAQs
Is getting a crown or bridge painful?
The area is normally numbed during tooth preparation. Some sensitivity or gum tenderness can occur afterwards, but your dentist can advise you on managing any discomfort.
How long does crown or bridge treatment take?
The number of visits depends on the tooth, restoration and laboratory process. Your treatment plan will explain the expected appointments before treatment begins.
Am I suitable for a crown or bridge?
Suitability depends on the condition of the tooth, gums, bite and supporting teeth. An examination is needed to decide whether a crown, bridge or another option is appropriate.
Can I get a crown after root canal treatment?
A crown may be recommended for a root-treated tooth when the remaining tooth structure and clinical condition make it appropriate. The timing depends on the individual case.
How long will a crown or bridge last?
There is no fixed lifespan. Longevity depends on the restoration, oral hygiene, bite, supporting teeth and regular care. It may eventually need repair or replacement.
