Crowns/Bridges

Crowns and Bridges are custom made protective ‘caps’ that are placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function.

Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants to help restore chewing function and improve aesthetics.

Both are lab made restorations that require 2 appointments minimum. The process is relatively painless as local anaesthesia is administered to ensure you are comfortable and painfree throughout treatment.
