Restorative Care

Dental Crowns and Bridges for Damaged or Missing Teeth

Crowns restore damaged teeth, while bridges replace missing teeth using suitable tooth or implant support. The choice begins with the condition of the roots, gums, remaining tooth structure and bite.

When a crown may help

A tooth weakened by fracture, a large filling or root canal treatment may need a crown or another protective restoration. A crown is not the answer to every discoloured or slightly chipped tooth. The dentist considers fillings, onlays, bonding and other conservative options before recommending full coverage.

How a bridge replaces a gap

A bridge connects replacement teeth to suitable supports. Conventional bridges may require preparation of neighbouring teeth; implant-supported bridges use implants. The span, supporting structures and cleaning access determine the design. Removable options may also be reasonable.

Preparation and fit

Records and scans guide the laboratory work after any required tooth treatment. The dentist checks margins, contacts, appearance and the bite. In-house CAD/CAM may allow selected restorations in one day. Extensive work, gum treatment or uncertain tooth prognosis can require more visits.

Questions before you decide

Your questions answered

Does a crown always need a root canal?

No. Root canal treatment is indicated by the condition of the pulp, not by the crown alone.

Can a crown be fitted in one day?

Selected cases can use the in-house workflow. Diagnosis, material and the need for additional care determine the timing.

Can a loose crown be refitted?

Sometimes. The dentist checks the crown, remaining tooth, infection and bite before deciding whether it can be reused.

What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?

A crown covers or replaces the visible portion of one tooth. A bridge replaces a gap using support from suitable teeth or implants; the design depends on the clinical situation.

How should I care for a bridge?

Clean the supporting teeth and the area beneath the replacement teeth using the aids your clinician recommends. Attend reviews to check the gums, fit and bite.

Choosing the material and cost

Material choice reflects appearance, restorative space, support, bite and maintenance. The estimate lists the number of units, material, underlying treatment and any temporary restoration. Ask about the applicable service-free terms and possible costs for maintenance or future repairs.

Care after fitting

A crowned natural tooth can still develop decay or gum disease. A bridge needs cleaning around its supports and under replacement teeth. Attend reviews and report persistent sensitivity, looseness, food trapping or a bite that feels high. Avoid treating discomfort as something you must simply learn to tolerate.
