Bridges, Crowns & Veneers

Bridges

Bridges are used when a tooth is missing between two others, these are custom made and specific to your mouth. They can be made in a Porcelain matching your own teeth or a Gold Au crown.

Crowns

Unfortunately teeth can start to die off for many reasons, this leaves teeth brittle and likely to break, fracture, splinter or even shatter in a patients mouth. To prevent this it is highly recommended to crown such teeth; crowns provide a level of safety by encompassing the effected tooth, stabilizing and protecting the tooth. There are many different types of crowns, all with their own pros and cons; some types are also more suited to specific areas of the mouth than others.

Veneers

Veneers are thin tooth coloured porcelain  (ceramic) shells crafted to bond to and cover the front teeth. This is usually done in circumstances where the teeth need to be improved aesthetically or to strengthen the remaining underlying tooth if it has been compromised. Porcelain usually has a greater degree of translucency than composites mimicking natural teeth better however costing a few times more than composites.
