Regain confidence in your smile as we protect and replace damaged teeth, leaving you with a radiant grin. Take control of your dental destiny today!
Everyday life comes with its fair share of incidents. Owing to various life circumstances, our teeth are prone to chipping, breaking and falling. While we can’t always control that, we can control what happens after. We can protect or replace the tooth through crown or bridge restoration.
Through this, we can ensure a good bite, stable health of the adjacent teeth and good aesthetics.

How can a crown/bridge restoration help?
Teeth work together. When one tooth is badly broken, fractured or missing, this can damage the remaining teeth and surrounding tissues. Remaining teeth shift or migrate, leading to a poor bite and surrounding tissues as explained below:
- Remaining teeth shift or migrate, leading to a poor bite and improper chewing and eventually leads to jaw joint pain.
- Shifting of teeth which also leads to poor oral hygiene, causing teeth to decay and gum infection.
- Poor aesthetics.
What is a crown?
A crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth to restore it to its proper function and aesthetics. It can be made of acrylic, metal or ceramic. To fit a crown, a tooth needs to be shaped. Crowns are either cemented or bonded onto the tooth.
What is a bridge?
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. The teeth adjacent to the missing tooth are crowned and an artificial tooth bridges the gap. Depending on the position and number of missing teeth, the number of supporting teeth will vary.
What is a temporary bridge?
A permanent bridge can take between 2-10 days to be made. In the interim, a temporary bridge is sometimes placed, to facilitate chewing and maintain aesthetics. The temporary bridge is cemented with a temporary cement.

- To conceal badly shaped or discoloured teeth. When the position shape, size or colour of the teeth have to be dramatically altered
- To restore badly decayed teeth with large filling or teeth which are root canal treated (teeth tend to become brittle and are more prone to fractured)
- To attached bridge as part of a bridge to support a tooth replacement
- To improve the bite
