Crowns and bridges are used to restore weak or missing teeth, to complete your smile and make your bite stronger and more stable.
BOOK NOWAt L'eto, our skilled and experienced dentists will always tell you the range of treatment options that are available to you. If you need to have teeth repaired or replaced; crowns and bridges are popular treatments that are painless and effective.
Your dentist may recommend a crown to you if you have a chipped, broken or fragile tooth, or if your tooth already has a large filling but appears to require further work. Once your crown is fitted your tooth will be stronger and look more uniform alongside your natural teeth, giving you a straighter, more confident smile.
Your dentist may recommend bridges to fill a gap caused by missing or extracted teeth. They are securely attached to your natural teeth, so when fitted you will have a complete smile that looks entirely natural.
You will need two appointments; at the first, an impression will be taken of the tooth that needs a crown.
Your crown will take two weeks to be hand crafted to the shape of your mouth, at which point you will return for your second appointment to have the crown fitted.
If you feel that a bridge would benefit the health and appearance of your smile, you will need to come in for two appointments.
At the first appointment, your dentist will take impressions of your mouth and take a careful record of the colour of your surrounding teeth so that your bridge can be colour-matched and made to look like your natural teeth. At your second appointment your bridge will be fitted.
