How Often Should I Visit The Dentist?

Don’t risk any unexpected dental issues and ensure that you make regular dental check-ups a priority! It’s recommended to visit your dentist twice a year, but frequency may vary based on your oral health. Regular professional exams can catch and address problems early on, preventing them from becoming major concerns. Plus, you’ll receive personalised advice tailored to your needs during your appointment.

Why Should I Attend My Regular Dental Check-ups?

What Does The Procedure Involve?

In the first step of the procedure, your dentist reduces your natural teeth size or implants to make space for the crown. They will then take an impression of your teeth so that your crown or bridge can be moulded to accurately and comfortably fit the size of your teeth. Once a dental lab has created them, your dentist will secure the crown and/or bridge to your teeth.

Why Might I Need A Crown Or Bridge?

Whether you have a broken tooth, chipped or stained teeth, or missing teeth, our dentist may recommend a crown or bridge. These dental solutions can restore the appearance and function of your teeth. To ensure their longevity, it is crucial to take good care of your crowns and bridges. With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, they can last a lifetime. Neglecting their maintenance, however, could lead to loosening or even loss. Maintain a strong foundation for your crown or bridge by keeping the rest of your teeth healthy. Our dental experts can identify any issues before they become major problems.
