01 / UNDERSTAND THE TREATMENT

What are crowns and bridges?

A crown covers a damaged or weakened tooth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth or teeth, using suitable neighbouring teeth or implants for support. Your dentist checks the remaining tooth structure, the gap and your bite before recommending a design.

What can a consultation help you explore?

02 / PATIENT EXPERIENCES

Full reviews, in each patient’s own words.

03 / THE VISIT

Assess, prepare and restore.

We’ll check the tooth or gap and the surrounding teeth, then explain the options and whether any preparation or temporary restoration would be needed.

01

Check the tooth or gap.

The dentist examines the tooth, its supporting tissues and your bite. Discuss a crown, bridge and any suitable alternatives.

02

Prepare and record.

Where needed, teeth are shaped and an impression or scan records the area. Ask whether a temporary restoration is part of your plan.

03

Fit and check.

The restoration is checked for fit, appearance and bite before fitting. You will discuss cleaning around it and follow-up.

Ask about the treatment stages, timing and estimated costs before deciding.

04 / BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Is it right for you?

Compare the choices and understand the practical details of your plan.

SUITABILITY

Check the supporting teeth.

The strength and health of the tooth or bridge supports matter. Existing decay or gum problems may need attention first.

MATERIALS

Discuss your priorities.

Ask how the proposed material suits the tooth’s position, appearance and biting forces. Discuss the amount of preparation involved.

TIMING & COST

Understand the full plan.

The number of teeth, restoration design and laboratory work affect the estimate. Ask about temporary restorations and any other treatment needed.

AFTERCARE

Clean around the restoration.

Ask for a demonstration of cleaning around crown edges and under a bridge. Contact the clinic if the bite feels high or the restoration loosens.

06 / GOOD TO ASK

Crowns & Bridges FAQs

A crown covers an existing tooth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth or teeth and needs a suitable form of support.

No. A filling repairs part of a tooth. A crown covers the prepared tooth when that approach is appropriate.

Some bridge designs require neighbouring teeth to be shaped. Ask what the proposed design involves and what alternatives are suitable.

You may need a temporary restoration while a laboratory makes the final one. Your dentist will explain the sequence.

Discuss shade, shape and material before the restoration is made. The choice should also suit your bite and clinical needs.

Longevity varies with the tooth, restoration, bite and maintenance. Ask about likely upkeep and circumstances requiring repair or replacement.

Depending on the findings, you can discuss a removable denture, an implant-supported option or another restorative approach.
