Crowns and Bridges
A dental crown is a custom made cover that may be used to support and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. A dental bridge may be used to replace one or more missing teeth by attaching an artificial tooth to neighbouring teeth or dental implants, where clinically appropriate.
Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, bite and overall oral health before recommending any treatment. They will explain the likely benefits, limitations, risks, alternatives and costs before you decide whether to proceed.
Important information
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crowns and Bridges
How do I know whether I need a crown or a filling?
That depends on how much healthy tooth structure remains. A crown is usually considered when a tooth needs more coverage and support than a filling can provide.
Is a bridge the same as an implant?
No. A bridge is supported by neighbouring teeth, while an implant is placed into the jaw to support a replacement tooth.
