Crowns & Bridges
A crown covers and protects a tooth that is too damaged for a filling. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by joining to the teeth on either side. A prosthodontist attends the clinic for complex cases. Zirconia, all-ceramic and metal-ceramic options are all available.
Who this is for
- A tooth that has broken, or been root treated
- A missing tooth where an implant is not suitable or not wanted
- Old crowns that no longer fit or look right
What actually happens
- Preparation of the tooth and an impression or digital scan
- A temporary crown while the permanent one is made
- Fitting, checking the bite, and cementing
