Create a beautiful and natural looking smile by replacing a missing or crooked tooth with porcelain/ceramic crowns or bridgework.
CROWNS
Used to conceal fractured or misshapen teeth that show prominently in your smile. Wouldn’t you rather have a cosmetically enhanced crown that looks natural and blends perfectly with your other teeth?
Modern ceramic or porcelain crowns are extremely natural looking and improve your appearance by covering the teeth with a strong material to stop further deterioration.
The affected tooth is reshaped so that it can be augmented by a more natural looking synthetic material, usually porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, all ceramic or gold. The choice of material depends on the clinical situation and the patient’s wishes.
BRIDGES
Replacing a gap with a cosmetic bridge not only changes the way you feel it also helps to maintain your appearance by preventing the collapse of facial features that can cause premature wrinkles and age lines.
A Bridge is a fixed appliance used to fill the space in your mouth left by a missing tooth and is a more natural alternative to a removable partial denture. Not only can a cosmetic fixed bridge prevent teeth from drifting out of position it can correct an altered bite, improve your chewing ability and your speech. What is more the bridge looks and feels almost exactly like a natural tooth.
A bridge requires strong teeth either side of the gap to take the weight of the missing tooth. If left unfilled, this space can cause the surrounding teeth and gums to become more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease and can lead to further tooth loss.
A bridge can be completed in two appointments.
