Dental Crowns and Bridges
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged tooth. A bridge is a series of connected crowns that fills a gap left by one or more missing teeth, anchored to the teeth on either side.
Who may need this service

Step 3
Temporary crown
A temporary protects the tooth while the permanent restoration is made.
Step 4
Final cementation
The lab-made crown or bridge is checked for fit, colour and bite, then bonded into place.
