Dental Crown and Bridge
Crowns
The term crown literally means the area of tooth which is visible in the mouth (simply white part o the tooth), however when the term “Crown” is used as a treatment modality that means that we have to reconstruct the tooth by giving it a nice and solid cover.
Crowns maybe necessary or desirable if you have a severely damaged tooth or undesirable shape or colour of a tooth. A crown is essentially a cap or full cover that is placed over your existing tooth for better protecting and strengthening it or for its cosmetic enhancement.
A crown can be created from different materials depending on what is most appropriate for each situation. They may be ceramic, ceramic plus metal or gold, amongst other choices. There are tooth-coloured options that will blend in perfectly with your smile.
Our experienced clinicians at Bundall Dental And Implants can assess each individual situation and offer the most suitable crown option.
Bridges (Dental Bridges)
A dental bridge is a simple, cost-effective solution which involves dental crowns being attached to the teeth on either side of the open space with a fake tooth or multiple teeth suspended into the gap. In other words, your existing teeth, or in some cases implants, are used as anchors.
Missing teeth can make it difficult to smile without embarrassment and chew properly. If missing teeth are not promptly treated they can cause your remaining teeth to shift and become crooked.
They can be started and finalised within a matter of 1 to 2 weeks.
The team at Bundall Dental And Implants can give you the best advice on dental bridges.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often used for:
-
Teeth weakened by large fillings or fractures
-
Protecting teeth after root canal treatment
-
Improving the look of discoloured or misshapen teeth
What Are Dental Bridges?
Bridges replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. This prevents remaining teeth from shifting and restores chewing function. The process usually takes 1–2 weeks, and bridges offer a fixed, cost-effective alternative to dentures. Dental implants are sometimes used to support these bridges.
