THE PROCESS
Before either crowns or bridges can be fitted, the tooth/teeth have to be reduced in size to make space for the new fixture. Porcelain or ceramic crowns and bridges can be matched to the colour of your teeth for a more natural result. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch should you have any questions regarding crowns and/or bridges.
THE BENEFITS
If your teeth are damaged, discoloured or missing altogether, crowns and bridges are worth considering. Not only will they improve your cosmetic appearance, they also allow you to chew your food properly and speak without any inhibitions. Rather than putting pressure on your remaining healthy teeth when you chew, crowns and bridges will help you to distribute this pressure evenly so that you don’t end up damaging your healthy teeth as well.
By ensuring your bone structure remains stronger for longer, crowns and bridges will help maintain the shape of your face. As long as you care for them diligently by brushing twice a day and flossing regularly they will remain aesthetically pleasing as well as strong and supportive for the foreseeable future.
