Dental crowns and bridges are commonly recommended when a tooth has been damaged, weakened or lost. Both treatments are designed to restore your smile, but they are used for different situations.
A dental crown strengthens and protects an existing tooth that has been affected by decay, a large filling, cracks or root canal treatment. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by securing an artificial tooth to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap.
During your consultation, we'll assess your oral health and recommend the most suitable option based on your needs.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape and appearance. Crowns are often recommended when a tooth cannot be repaired with a filling alone, helping preserve the natural tooth for as long as possible.
Also known as dental caps, dental crowns are used to restore the look and function of teeth that have been weakened as a result of dental decay, old restorations or cracks. Dental crowns are like a thimble that covers the whole tooth and not only strengthens it but can change the shape and colour.
Crowns may be made of various materials depending on the condition of the tooth, position in the mouth and the need for strength. Most crowns now use advanced materials technology and can be completely blended with natural teeth.
A root canal treated tooth involving significant loss in tooth structure normally requires a crown for protection. A missing tooth replaced by an implant is also restored with a crown.
A dental bridge is a fixed solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. For patients considering a dental bridge in Underwood, treatment can fill the gap left by missing teeth using an artificial tooth supported by neighbouring teeth, helping restore your ability to chew, speak and smile with confidence.
A bridge can provide an aesthetic and functional tooth replacement and may be considered as an alternative to a removable denture or dental implant, depending on your individual needs.
Whether you have a damaged tooth or a gap caused by a missing tooth, our experienced dentists can assess your smile and recommend the most suitable treatment based on your oral health, lifestyle and long-term goals.
We examine your teeth, discuss your concerns and determine whether a crown or bridge is the most appropriate solution.
If you're receiving a crown or bridge, the supporting tooth or teeth are carefully prepared and impressions are taken to create your custom restoration.
A temporary crown or bridge may be fitted while your permanent restoration is being custom made.
Your new crown or bridge is securely fitted, adjusted for comfort and checked to ensure it looks and functions naturally.
You may benefit from a dental crown or bridge if you have:
The best way to determine the right treatment is through a dental examination, where we'll assess your oral health and discuss your options.
Ignoring a damaged or missing tooth can lead to more than just cosmetic concerns. Over time, weakened teeth may fracture further, while gaps left by missing teeth can affect your bite and allow neighbouring teeth to shift out of position. Seeking treatment early can often help preserve your oral health and reduce the need for more complex procedures in the future.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, crowns and bridges can provide long-lasting results. Brushing twice daily, flossing around your restoration and attending routine examinations all help keep your restoration and surrounding teeth healthy.
Patients trust our team because we focus on restoring both the health and appearance of your smile. Every crown and bridge is carefully planned to ensure a comfortable fit, natural appearance and long-term function.

Common questions about crowns and bridges
A dental crown protects and restores a damaged tooth, while a dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by using neighbouring teeth for support.
A crown may be recommended if your tooth is cracked, weakened, heavily filled or has recently undergone root canal treatment.
Treatment is performed under local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. Some mild sensitivity after the procedure is normal and usually settles within a few days.
Most crowns and bridges are completed over two appointments, although treatment time may vary depending on your individual needs.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, crowns and bridges can often last many years.
