Crowns and Bridges
At M&M Dental Care, we believe that restorative dentistry is essential for maintaining a healthy and functional smile. Crowns and bridges are two effective solutions for restoring damaged or missing teeth, helping you regain confidence in your smile and improving your overall oral health. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing high-quality, natural-looking restorations that enhance both function and aesthetics.
What are Crowns and Bridges?
Crowns
A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged or weak tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used to protect and strengthen teeth that have been weakened by decay, cracks, or large fillings.
Bridges
A bridge is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges help maintain the alignment of your teeth and restore your ability to chew and speak properly.
Benefits of Crowns and Bridges
Restoring Functionality
Crowns and bridges restore the functionality of your teeth, allowing you to chew and speak with ease. They provide a stable and durable solution for damaged or missing teeth, improving your oral health and quality of life.
Enhancing Appearance
Our crowns and bridges are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. They are made from high-quality materials that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.
Preventing Further Damage
Crowns protect weakened teeth from further damage and decay, while bridges prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position. This helps maintain the integrity of your bite and reduces the risk of additional dental problems.
Conditions Treated with Crowns and Bridges
Damaged or Weak Teeth
Crowns are used to restore teeth that are damaged by decay, fractures, or large fillings. They provide strength and protection to prevent further deterioration.
Missing Teeth
Bridges are an effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. They fill the gap left by missing teeth, preventing the surrounding teeth from shifting and maintaining proper dental alignment.
Cosmetic Improvements
Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, misshapen, or poorly aligned. They offer a natural-looking solution for enhancing the aesthetics of your smile.
Types of Crowns and Bridges
Materials Used
- Porcelain: Known for its natural appearance and durability, porcelain is a popular choice for crowns and bridges in visible areas.
- Ceramic: Ceramic offers excellent aesthetics and is suitable for patients with metal allergies.
- Metal Alloys: Metals, such as gold or platinum, provide exceptional strength and durability, making them ideal for crowns on back teeth.
- Composite Resin: Composite resin is a more affordable option that can be used for temporary or less visible restorations.
Choosing the Right Material
The choice of material depends on various factors, including the location of the tooth, the extent of the damage, aesthetic preferences, and budget. Our dental team will help you choose the best material for your specific needs.
The Crowns and Bridges Process
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an initial consultation, where our dental team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health. We will discuss your treatment goals and develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Tooth Preparation
For crowns, the affected tooth is shaped to accommodate the crown. For bridges, the adjacent teeth are prepared to support the bridge. Impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom-made restorations.
Temporary Restoration
While your permanent crown or bridge is being fabricated, a temporary restoration is placed to protect your teeth and gums.
Fitting the Permanent Crown/Bridge
Once your custom-made crown or bridge is ready, it is fitted and bonded to your teeth. We ensure that the restoration fits perfectly and functions correctly.
Follow-up and Maintenance
Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor the condition of your crowns and bridges. We provide guidance on maintaining your restorations to ensure their longevity.

Advanced Techniques and Technology
Digital Impressions
We use digital impression technology to capture precise images of your teeth. This enhances the accuracy and comfort of the impression process, leading to better-fitting restorations.
3D Imaging and CAD/CAM Technology
Advanced 3D imaging and CAD/CAM technology allow us to design and manufacture crowns and bridges with exceptional precision. These technologies ensure that your restorations fit perfectly and look natural.
Caring for Your Crowns and Bridges
Daily Oral Hygiene
Maintain good oral hygiene practices by brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. Use interdental brushes or floss threaders to clean around your crowns and bridges.
Regular Dental Checkups
Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings are essential to monitor the health of your crowns and bridges. Our dental team will ensure that your restorations remain in good condition and address any issues promptly.
Avoiding Damage
To protect your crowns and bridges, avoid biting or chewing on hard objects such as ice, pens, or fingernails. If you grind your teeth at night, consider wearing a night guard to prevent damage.
Patient Care and Comfort
Managing Discomfort
Our team prioritises your comfort throughout the restoration process. We use gentle techniques and provide local anaesthesia to minimise discomfort during tooth preparation. After the procedure, any minor sensitivity can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Sedation Options
For patients who experience anxiety or require extensive treatment, we offer sedation options to ensure a relaxed and stress-free experience. Our goal is to make your treatment as comfortable as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. While crowns are used to repair individual teeth, bridges are used to fill gaps left by missing teeth.
With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns and bridges can last between 10 to 15 years or even longer. Their longevity depends on several factors, including the material used, your oral hygiene practices, and regular dental checkups. Avoiding habits that can damage your restorations, such as chewing on hard objects, also helps extend their lifespan.
The process typically involves multiple visits. During the first visit, the affected teeth are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel. Impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom restorations. A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth. In a subsequent visit, the permanent crown or bridge is fitted, adjusted for proper bite and comfort, and then permanently cemented in place.
The procedure for getting crowns or bridges is generally not painful as it is performed under local anaesthesia to numb the affected area. You may experience some sensitivity or discomfort after the anaesthesia wears off, but this is usually mild and temporary. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any post-procedure discomfort.
Caring for crowns and bridges involves maintaining good oral hygiene practices. Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and floss daily, paying special attention to the area around your restorations. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings are essential to monitor the condition of your crowns and bridges and ensure the health of your surrounding teeth and gums. Avoid biting or chewing on hard objects to prevent damage.
Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for crowns and bridges, especially if they are deemed necessary for dental health rather than solely for cosmetic purposes. Coverage can vary based on your specific insurance plan. Our team will help you understand your insurance benefits and explore payment options, including affordable payment plans, to make your treatment accessible and affordable.
