About the treatment

What is Dental Crowns & Bridges?

A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged tooth, restoring its strength, shape and appearance. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to crowns on the adjacent teeth. We use modern ceramic and zirconia materials for results that look and feel completely natural.

Step by step

The procedure

  1. 1

    Examination & planning

    We assess the tooth and discuss material options (ceramic / zirconia).

  2. 2

    Tooth preparation

    The tooth is gently reshaped under local anaesthesia to make space for the crown.

  3. 3

    Digital impression

    A scan or precision impression captures your bite for a custom fit.

  4. 4

    Temporary crown

    A temporary crown protects the tooth while the final one is crafted.

  5. 5

    Fit & cement

    Your final crown is checked for fit and colour, then permanently cemented.

Common questions

Dental Crowns & Bridges FAQs

Which is better — zirconia or ceramic crowns?

Both are excellent. Zirconia is exceptionally strong (ideal for back teeth), while layered ceramic offers superb aesthetics for front teeth. We'll recommend the best for your case.

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With good care, 10–15 years or longer. Many last much longer than that.

Will it look like my real teeth?

Yes. Modern materials closely mimic the translucency and shade of natural enamel.

Is the procedure painful?

No. Local anaesthesia keeps you comfortable throughout, and there's no significant discomfort afterwards.
