Crowns
A crown can cover a tooth to create a more functional shape and size, restore a badly broken down dentition along with covering any discolouration. Often considered when there is not much tooth left, a crown can restore your tooth to its full natural function. Crowns can also be used as the final restoration for a dental implant. The preferred material for a crown is all porcelain. Offering a secure and strong restoration, porcelain can act like a natural tooth in strength, function and appearance.
Crowns are used in both restorative and cosmetic cases, and during your consultation this may be just one of the procedures we recommend to enhance your smile and improve your dental health.
Bridges
If you're missing one or more teeth, you may notice a difference in your natural function such as chewing and speaking. You may find that over time, the shape of your face / profile may change along with your natural bite and this may affect your self-confidence.
Replacing missing teeth by literally 'bridging' the gap, a bridge is one option to help restore your function, improve your health and alleviate the pain that an incorrect bite can cause. Made of porcelain, bridges are bonded in place by crowns attached to natural teeth on either side of the space.
Bridges are a permanent long-lasting solution. « Return to Our Services |
