When it comes to maintaining a confident, healthy smile, dental crowns and bridges are two of the most effective solutions. Whether you’ve experienced tooth loss or damage, these restorative treatments can not only improve the appearance of your teeth but also enhance their functionality and durability. At The Dental Project, we specialise in providing high-quality crowns and bridges to help restore your smile and oral health.
What are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or decayed tooth. Crowns are used to restore the shape, size, and strength of a tooth, and they’re designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Crowns are often recommended for the following situations:
- Protecting a weakened tooth: If a tooth has been cracked or has undergone significant wear, a crown can protect it from further damage.
- Restoring a broken tooth: Crowns are an ideal solution for repairing teeth that have been chipped or broken.
- Supporting a dental bridge: Crowns can anchor dental bridges in place, helping replace missing teeth.
- Covering a dental implant: After receiving a dental implant, a crown is placed over the implant to complete the restoration.
Crowns are made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal. At The Dental Project, we provide crowns that are durable, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing to ensure you enjoy both function and beauty.
What are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between your remaining teeth. This restoration involves placing crowns on the adjacent teeth (or implants), with a false tooth or teeth in between. Dental bridges offer several benefits:
- Improved appearance: Missing teeth can affect your smile and facial structure, but a bridge can restore your natural look.
- Enhanced function: Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew or speak properly. A bridge restores these functions, allowing you to eat and talk comfortably.
- Preventing teeth from shifting: When a tooth is missing, neighboring teeth can shift into the gap, leading to misalignment. A bridge keeps your teeth in place and maintains a proper bite.
Bridges are typically made from porcelain or ceramic to match the color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless smile. Our team at The Dental Project will work closely with you to determine the best type of bridge for your individual needs.
The Benefits of Crowns and Bridges
Both crowns and bridges offer numerous advantages, including:
- Aesthetic enhancement: These treatments restore the appearance of damaged or missing teeth, giving you a natural-looking smile.
- Durability: Crowns and bridges are built to last, often providing protection for many years with proper care.
- Improved oral health: By restoring the structure and function of your teeth, these treatments help prevent further dental issues, such as shifting teeth or bite problems.
