Crowns & Bridges

Dental Crowns and Bridges

Crowns (sometimes referred to as caps) are used to improve the appearance of teeth or to restore badly broken down teeth when there is insufficient tooth to hold a filling. Our crowns are made from the latest aesthetic materials: we may choose zirconia, fused ceramics or a combination of both depending upon the specific needs of the treatment. A bridge is a casting or computer milled prosthesis used to replace a missing tooth and is attached to teeth next to the gap, by using adhesive attachments or other crowns

The latest metal free crowns and bridges provide very life-like aesthetics and can transform a smile while strengthening the teeth at the same time. A crown is provided in several stages. After a tooth has been prepared, a temporary crown will be put in place while a dental laboratory manufactures the crown. Temporary crowns are made from a tooth coloured plastic and are designed to last for a short period of time. These crowns can be made to match the proposed final colour and shape of the new teeth. This way you can assess the bite and your new smile at home before the porcelain crowns are made.

After several implants and other treatments I’m now happy with my teeth and grateful for the care and kindness I have received from all members of staff. After decades of neglecting my teeth I was initially attracted by the availability of IV sedation. Subsequent treatments have continued to soothe away my fears, leading to a more positive attitude on my part. Thank you to everyone at Dovetail.”
