Crowns & Bridges

Custom restorations that cover damaged teeth, or replace missing teeth by attaching to neighbouring teeth.

About this treatment

A crown is a cap that covers a weakened, broken or heavily filled tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance.

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using artificial teeth attached to crowns on the neighbouring teeth. Your dentist will explain the material options and whether a crown or bridge is suitable for you.

What happens during treatment

A general overview — your dentist will explain the exact plan for your case.

  1. 1

    Step 1: Your dentist examines the teeth and discusses the options and materials.

  2. 2

    Step 2: The tooth or teeth are shaped under local anaesthetic to make space for the crown or bridge.

  3. 3

    Step 3: An impression or scan is taken so the restoration can be custom-made, and a temporary may be fitted.

  4. 4

    Step 4: At a later visit the final crown or bridge is checked for fit and bite, then cemented in place.

  • Keep regular check-ups so the restoration and surrounding gums can be checked.

Crowns & Bridges: common questions

Ask us a question

How many visits does a crown or bridge need?

Usually at least two: one to prepare the tooth and take an impression, and another to fit the final restoration. Your dentist will explain the plan for your case.

Will a crown look natural?

Crowns can be made in tooth-coloured materials matched to your neighbouring teeth. Your dentist will discuss which material suits the position of the tooth.
