Crowns & Bridges
Rebuild and protect damaged or missing teeth. Custom crowns and bridges restore strength, function and a natural appearance to your smile.
Overview
About Crowns & Bridges
A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, weakened or root-treated tooth, restoring its shape, strength and appearance. A bridge uses crowns on the teeth either side of a gap to anchor a replacement tooth, filling the space left by one or more missing teeth.
Made from high-quality porcelain or ceramic and precisely colour-matched, modern crowns and bridges are matched to your other teeth. They protect cracked or heavily filled teeth from further damage and help with chewing and speaking.

What to expect
How it works
We'll explain everything at each stage, so you always know what's happening and feel comfortable throughout.
- Step 01
Preparation
We gently shape the tooth (or teeth) and take a precise digital impression of your bite.
- Step 02
Custom fabrication
Your crown or bridge is crafted to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth.
- Step 03
Temporary protection
A temporary restoration protects the tooth while your permanent one is made.
- Step 04
Fitting & bonding
We check the fit, colour and bite, then securely bond the restoration in place.
Is it right for you?
Crowns suit teeth that are badly decayed, cracked, worn down or root-treated. Bridges are a fixed alternative to a denture or implant for replacing one or a few missing teeth where the neighbouring teeth are strong.
Recovery & aftercare
Care for crowns and bridges like natural teeth — brush, floss (or use interdental brushes under a bridge) and keep up regular check-ups so we can monitor them.
