Restore and replace teeth

Crowns & Bridges

A crown can protect and rebuild a suitable damaged tooth, while a fixed bridge can replace selected missing teeth by using neighbouring support.

At a glance

What this treatment may help with

The recommendation depends on the condition of the supporting teeth, gums, bite and available alternatives, including implants or removable options where appropriate.

Reasons to arrange an assessment

  • A tooth is cracked, heavily filled or structurally weakened
  • A root canal-treated tooth needs protection
  • One or more teeth are missing
  • An existing crown or bridge is loose, damaged or uncomfortable

Potential benefits

  • Protects and restores a suitable weakened tooth
  • Can improve chewing and tooth shape
  • Replaces selected gaps with a fixed restoration
  • Is planned to balance appearance, function and maintainability

An examination and suitable imaging are required before a dentist can recommend treatment. Website information is not a diagnosis.

Your care journey

What the process usually involves

The exact sequence and number of visits depend on your examination and treatment plan.

  1. 01

    Assessment

    The dentist examines the teeth, gums, bite and relevant imaging before discussing options.

  2. 02

    Preparation

    The supporting tooth or teeth are carefully shaped when a crown or conventional bridge is selected.

  3. 03

    Records

    Scans or impressions and shade information are collected for the restoration.

  4. 04

    Protection

    A temporary restoration may be placed while the final crown or bridge is made.

  5. 05

    Fitting

    Fit, contact and bite are checked before the final restoration is secured and maintenance is explained.

Helpful preparation

Before and after your appointment

Before treatment

  • Discuss all suitable replacement or restorative options
  • Share tooth sensitivity, grinding habits and relevant health information
  • Ask whether root canal or gum treatment is needed first
  • Understand which teeth will support the restoration and how they will be cleaned

After treatment

  • Avoid chewing while the area remains numb
  • Clean around crowns and underneath bridges as demonstrated
  • Attend reviews so the restoration and supporting teeth can be checked
  • Contact the clinic if the bite feels persistently high or the restoration becomes loose or painful

Questions

Common questions about crowns & bridges

What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?

A crown covers and protects a prepared tooth or implant. A bridge replaces a missing tooth or teeth and is supported by neighbouring teeth or implants.

How long will a crown or bridge last?

Longevity varies with the supporting teeth, bite, cleaning, diet and regular professional care. No restoration can be guaranteed for a fixed number of years.

Does a crowned tooth always need root canal treatment?

No. Root canal treatment is recommended only when the pulp is infected, inflamed or otherwise clinically indicated.
