Both share a few similarities, although a crown, aka caps, is a tooth-shaped cover that is placed over a damaged tooth or one that has been weakened due to cracks, breaks or discolouration. This prevents further damage. Crowns are made of porcelain, metal or an alloy that is made from both. They offer a highly durable solution when a filling is not the best option.

A dental crown not only enhances your smile but also mimics the look of a perfect-looking, fully functional tooth.

You will be recommended a crown under the following circumstances:

• Protection of a weak, fractured tooth
• Replacement of a large filling where there are not enough teeth remaining.
• Concealment of a poorly shaped or discoloured tooth
• Concealment of a tooth after root canal treatment

Dental bridges, however, are used to fill the gaps between missing teeth. It is a perfectly moulded tooth that fills this missing gap to give you a seamless and “uninterrupted” row of teeth.

Bridges are installed or implemented by first creating a crown on either side of the gap and then planting a false tooth or teeth between those crowns. It can be supported either by your natural teeth, implants or both teeth and dental implants.

Say goodbye to covering your mouth in embarrassment while talking or smiling – our dental crowns and bridges are a safe, reliable and effective way to restore a perfect facial structure and natural-looking smile. Have the confidence to openly talk, smile and laugh, particularly when you take a bite out of your favourite food, without worrying about people catching a glimpse of your stained or yellow-coloured teeth.
