What is a Dental Crown?
Think of a crown as a little cap for your existing tooth. A crown covers all of the exposed surfaces of your tooth, restoring its strength and improving its appearance, shape, and alignment. The dentist carefully shapes your problematic tooth, places a bespoke crown over it, and uses a special dental adhesive to secure it.
Traditional metal crowns draw the wrong kind of attention, as they have an obvious black line at the gum level. Modern, all-ceramic crowns look really natural and last for years. These crowns blend in with the rest of your smile for a seamless, comfortable result — and no black line.

What is a Dental Bridge?
A porcelain bridge is a tried and tested way to fill unsightly gaps in your smile or to improve chewing by replacing missing teeth. Bridges can replace one or more missing teeth. Often, a bridge is made up of a single-piece prosthetic that includes an artificial tooth between two dental crowns. The crowns attach to the teeth on their side of the gap or to dental implants. In some instances, such as the very back teeth, the bridge only secures to a single tooth or implant.
We can design a beautiful, lifelike, fixed porcelain bridge for you if you do not want to wear removable false teeth for the rest of your life.
Dental Bridge Treatment Benefits
- Fill gaps and restore your smile
- Help you speak clearly
- Increase your confidence
- Enable you to enjoy your favourite foods again
- Eliminate the need for Polygrip and Steradent!
