Restorative Dentistry
Strong, seamless ceramic restorations that protect weakened teeth and close gaps — often fitted same-day.
Overview
A crown wraps and protects a weakened tooth; a bridge uses neighboring teeth to hold a replacement in a gap. With our in-house digital workflow, many crowns are designed, milled and fitted in a single visit — no messy impressions, no weeks in a temporary.
Patients with heavily filled, cracked or root-treated teeth, or a missing tooth with sound neighbors either side.
Please note: Treatment suitability must be confirmed by a qualified dentist at an in-person clinical assessment. This website is for general information only and does not replace professional dental advice. Treatment suitability can only be confirmed after an in-person clinical assessment, and results vary between patients.
Step by Step
01
We confirm a crown or bridge is the right choice and discuss material options.
02
A comfortable digital impression, then your restoration is designed on screen.
03
Your ceramic is milled in-house, stained and glazed to match neighboring teeth.
04
We check the fit and bite precisely before bonding permanently.
Expected timeline: Single crowns are often completed in one extended visit. Bridges and complex shade matches typically take two visits over 2–3 weeks.
Questions
Well-maintained ceramic crowns commonly last 10–15 years or more. Your bite, grinding habits and hygiene are the biggest factors.
It depends on the health of neighboring teeth. If they are heavily filled, a bridge may make sense; if they are pristine, an implant avoids touching them. We will talk you through both honestly.
