Crown and bridgework
is a very reliable solution for major dental problems
caused through accidents, diseases or wear and tear.
Major problems can usually be corrected using
these techniques. Material used in these repairs
is either high-grade porcelain, or porcelain bonded
to gold. A higher strength of the porcelain and
gold materials is recommended to treat the most
serious of dental problems. Where accidental damage
has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or where
teeth have broken away through excessive wear, or
as the result of old fillings breaking, crowns and/or
bridges can be used as a long-term solution. Many
people have unexplained pain from filled back teeth,
which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing
part of the tooth. Placing crowns on these teeth
relieves the pain and allows a return of full dental
function for these teeth. In front teeth, older
fillings can both weaken the teeth and cause "appearance"
problems due to staining or chipping. Porcelain
crowns and bridges are suitable in cases where porcelain
veneers are not. In teeth with root canal fillings,
crowns can prevent breakage.

to a person's teeth is extreme, and apparently
beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain "pasted on gold" crowns to make the smile appear
"as new". This is an extremely reliable technique
for repairing the most severe of dental problems,
even perma-nently replacing missing teeth to offer
a complete smile and a functional bite. We are renowned
for the quality of our work and the fantastic changes
we make for people using this technology. These
treatments are used for a long lasting correction
of major dental problems. It is usual for these
treatments to last for 20 to 30 years, which is as close to permanent as dental treatment can get.
Fitting a crown requires at least two visits to
our office. Initially, we will remove decay, shape
the tooth, and fit it with a temporary crown of
either plastic or metal. On the subsequent visit
we will remove the temporary crown, and then fit
and adjust the final crown. Finally, we will cement
the crown into place and you have a new beautiful
looking tooth.
