What is a crown?
A crown is used to fix teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay, or contain a very large filling. It is a durable, tooth-shaped cap that has been custom-moulded to fit your bite and placed over the top of your tooth to restore function and prevent future decay.
We also use crowns to seal off root canals, anchor a bridge, or improve the appearance of unaesthetic or discoloured fillings.
What is a dental bridge?
For teeth that require more intensive restoration, a metal bridge can be inserted to recreate your original bite and the natural appearance of your smile.
The benefits of crowns and bridges
Here are some of the reasons we recommend these solutions:
- Strengthens tooth structure
- Natural-looking restoration
- Functions like a real tooth
- Restores your natural bite
- Improves comfort while chewing

FAQs about crowns and bridges
Crowns and bridges are a long-lasting, restorative dental solution. Most of our patients crowns remain intact after 15 years, with some lasting even longer.
Yes. You can get a cavity under a crown even if you had a root canal. And bridges can increase your chance of plaque build-up due to their structure. It's very important to continue with a thorough dental hygiene routine and regular professional cleanings.
Instead of a dental bridge, your Specialist may recommend a crown, an implant, or dentures in more extreme cases.
