Trauma, tooth decay, gradual wear and post treatment weakness are all contributing factors to the deterioration of tooth health.

Once a tooth has begun to deteriorate, it is left open to further decay and weakening. As your mouth compensates for this, other issues can arise. This is why if you have damaged teeth or missing teeth, crowns and bridges may be a suitable treatment for you.

Crowns can successfully restore and replace natural teeth through the strategic placement of an artificial tooth or layer of biocompatible material. Crowns are strong, long-lasting and look great. Virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth, crowns restore function and aesthetically enhance your smile by fitting precisely over a tooth.

A bridge can replace up to 3 teeth. Teeth on either side of the space are crowned, with the space then filled with the artificial teeth anchored to each crown.

Advantages of replacing missing teeth include:

• Improved appearance
• Improved function (Chewing and Speech)
• Prevent teeth moving
• Prevent damaging stress to the surrounding teeth.
