RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Crowns & Bridges
Find out whether a crown could restore a damaged tooth or a bridge could fill a gap.
01 / ABOUT THE TREATMENT
What it involves.
A crown covers an existing tooth. A bridge is a fixed replacement for one or more missing teeth. Your dentist will explain which designs are suitable for your mouth.
02 / BEFORE YOU DECIDE
At your consultation.
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.
03 / GOOD TO ASK
Common questions.
What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown covers an existing tooth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth or teeth.
Will I need more than one visit?
That depends on the design and whether the restoration needs to be made separately. Ask for a visit-by-visit plan at your consultation.
