Crown and Bridges

Crowns and bridges are a common dental practice used to repair and replace damaged or missing teeth. At SE Dental, we offer high-quality crowns and bridges that are custom-made to restore your smile, enhance oral function, and improve overall oral health. Our experienced dentists utilise advanced techniques and materials to ensure durable and natural-looking results.

What are Crowns and Bridges?

• Crowns: Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are placed over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their strength, shape, and appearance. They provide protection and support to weakened teeth and can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys.
• Bridges: Dental bridges are prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) supported by dental crowns on adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants. Bridges restore the function and aesthetics of the missing teeth, improving oral health and restoring your smile.

What Does Crowns and Bridges Treatment Include?

• Initial Consultation and Examination: During your first visit at SE Dental we will evaluate your oral health, discuss your concerns and treatment goals, and determine if crowns or bridges are the appropriate solution for you. We will also take impressions and X-rays to create a customised treatment plan.
• Tooth Preparation: For crowns, the damaged tooth is prepared by removing any decay and reshaping it to accommodate the crown. Impressions are then taken to create a precise fitting crown. For bridges, the adjacent teeth are prepared similarly to support the bridge structure.
• Temporary Restorations: While your permanent crown or bridge is being fabricated, temporary restorations may be placed to protect the prepared teeth and maintain aesthetics and function.
• Custom Fabrication: The impressions taken are sent to a dental laboratory, where skilled technicians create your custom crowns or bridges. They meticulously craft the restorations to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend.
• Final Placement: Once your permanent crowns or bridge is ready, we will remove the temporary restorations and carefully place and adjust the final restorations. They will ensure a precise fit, proper alignment, and comfortable bite.

Why are Crowns and Bridges Important for Patients?

• Restoring Dental Function: Crowns and bridges restore the function of damaged or missing teeth, allowing you to chew, bite, and speak properly. They provide stability and support to weakened teeth, preventing further deterioration and enhancing oral function.
• Aesthetics and Smile Enhancement: Crowns and bridges are designed to closely resemble natural teeth in shape, size, and color. They improve the appearance of your smile, restore facial symmetry, and boost your self-confidence.
• Preventing Dental Problems: Crowns and bridges protect the underlying teeth and gums from further damage and decay. By filling the gaps left by missing teeth, bridges prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting out of place, maintaining proper dental alignment.
