Crowns and Bridges

Here at Beckenham Smiles, another dental procedure that we offer is crowns and Bridges. Crowns and bridges are used to restore or repair lost and damaged teeth. They are cemented onto your natural teeth or implants, making them a permanent solution to your dental problems. Crowns and bridges can be used to help reduce pain sensitivity, prevent cracks or chips from spreading and getting worse and also help to improve the visual aesthetics of your teeth.

Crowns

There are many reasons why a crown might be needed. This includes strengthening and repairing a damaged tooth, enhancing your smile, or protecting vulnerable teeth. Here at Beckenham Smiles, we prioritise your confidence and functionality. That’s why our porcelain crowns are tailored to match your teeth, making them both discrete and visually pleasing.

Bridges

If you are missing any teeth, a dental bridge may be the solution recommended by your dentist. Not only does it restore gaps left by missing teeth, but it also has multiple advantages for your oral health. One of the most noticeable benefits of a dental bridge is the improvement in your smile and reducing the number of gaps in your teeth. By filling in the gaps, a dental bridge prevents teeth from shifting. This helps to maintain proper bite alignment, reducing the risk of misalignment-related issues like gum disease and other oral health problems. During the dental bridge procedure, the bridge will be securely cemented onto the teeth or implants adjacent to the gap.

Replacement teeth will then be attached to the crowns that have been placed on the surrounding teeth. With this simple and effective procedure, you’ll have a long-lasting solution that enhances both the aesthetic and health aspects of your smile. Here at Beckenham Smiles, we can restore your smile with a dental bridge.

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.
