What is Dental Crown or a Bridge?
- Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that restore strength, shape, and appearance to damaged teeth.
- Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to nearby natural teeth or implants.

When Do We Need It?
To protect a cracked, weak, or root canal–treated tooth
To restore broken or worn-down teeth
To replace missing teeth and prevent shifting
To improve the look of discoloured or misshapen teeth
Types of Dental Crowns
Our team will ensure your time with us is comfortable and personalized to your needs. All our crowns are created with biocompatible materials and placed using minimally-invasive and gentle techniques.

Metal Crowns
- Highly durable and long-lasting, making them a reliable choice for restoration.
- Strong enough to withstand heavy chewing and biting forces without breaking or wearing down easily.
- Provide superior strength and longevity compared to many other crown types.
- Main drawback: their metallic appearance makes them less aesthetic, so they are best suited for molars at the back of the mouth.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
- Combine strength of metal with the natural look of porcelain.
- Metal base ensures durability and support.
- Porcelain coating matches tooth color, giving a natural appearance.
- Suitable for patients with both strength and aesthetic needs.
- Drawback: porcelain may chip or wear over time, exposing the metal.

Ceramic Crown
- Metal-free option with strength comparable to metal crowns.
- Matches natural tooth color, making it highly aesthetic and unnoticeable.
- Suitable for front and back teeth, as well as bridges.
- Eliminates issues of porcelain wear or visible metal.
- Ideal for patients with high aesthetic demands.
