Our Expert Dentists Can Restore Your Confident Smile
Before being referred for a dental crown or bridge, you’ll need to get a check-up by one of our London dental specialists. Based on the condition of your teeth, they may perform an X-ray to determine whether you need a crown or any other treatment.
If you’re facing the following issues, you may require dental crowns and bridges:
- Missing tooth or teeth
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Broken or lost fillings
- Discoloured teeth
- Heavily filled teeth
In the first appointment, your dentist will prepare your teeth by making space to fit the crown or bridge. It will require reducing the size of your tooth, for which you will be given local anaesthesia, and taking an impression of the teeth. We send the mould to our lab so that dental technicians can prepare the crown or bridge. It takes about two weeks until the crown or bridge is ready. During this time, your local dentist will fit a temporary crown. In the second appointment, you will try the crown or bridge to see if it fits, allows a comfortable bite, and looks natural. Once you’re satisfied, it is cemented.
Why Dental Crowns and Bridges are Important
When your tooth is damaged, cracked, or misshapen, dental crowns or bridges in London are a suitable treatment. If you’ve had a root canal treatment, a dental crown can cover the exposed area of the tooth. This is a way to replace old or broken fillings and improve the appearance of your teeth. Simply put, your expert dentist will replace your tooth without removing it.
Getting a crown or bridge can help with the following:
- Protects your teeth from future damage
- Matches the colour of your teeth for a natural look
- Restores the look of your teeth after a root canal
- Covers your dental implants
- Allows you to eat and speak without any trouble
- Keeps the remaining teeth from moving out of place
- Replaces missing teeth, allowing you to bite into food properly
And the best part is that you walk out with a great smile! If you’re dealing with issues like chipped or missing teeth, don’t wait for things to get worse.
