Restoration
Crowns and bridges
Usually two appointments with a gap for fabrication.
A crown restores a tooth that is too weak or too damaged for an ordinary filling. A bridge fills the space where a tooth is missing. Both give you back a mouth you can bite and smile with comfortably.
What does it involve?
A crown is a cap placed over your own tooth. It restores the shape and strength, for example after a large filling, a root canal treatment or a broken molar. The crown is given a colour that matches your other teeth.
We use a bridge when a tooth is missing. The bridge rests on the two neighbouring teeth and spans the gap with a fixed, non-removable solution. Together we decide whether a crown, a bridge or in some cases an implant is the best choice for you. Because we provide these treatments in house, the assessment, preparation and placement all stay with us.

Assessment and plan
We assess the tooth or the gap and discuss whether a crown, bridge or other restoration fits best.

Preparing and impression
We prepare the tooth and take a precise impression or scan for a custom crown or bridge.

Temporary restoration
In the meantime you often receive a temporary crown, so you can keep eating and smiling.
