Restore Your Smile With Crowns And Bridges
When it comes to restoring damaged or missing teeth, crowns and bridges are time-tested solutions that offer both durability and aesthetics.
Whether you need to protect a weakened tooth or replace one that’s missing, these restorations can bring your smile back to full strength and beauty.
At With U Dental, we take pride in offering high-quality crowns and bridges that are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing you with a smile that’s both functional and attractive.
What are crowns and bridges?
Crowns and bridges are two types of dental restorations used to repair and replace damaged or missing teeth. A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength while improving its appearance. Crowns are typically used to protect weakened teeth, cover large fillings, or restore a tooth after a root canal.
A dental bridge, on the other hand, is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are anchored in place by crowns attached to the teeth on either side of the gap. This not only fills the space left by the missing tooth but also prevents neighbouring teeth from shifting out of alignment.
Both crowns and bridges are crafted from high-quality materials, such as porcelain or ceramic, that closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth. At With U Dental, we use the latest technology to ensure that your crowns and bridges are perfectly fitted and beautifully matched to your existing teeth.
Problems this treatment solves
- Damaged or Weakened Teeth: If you have a tooth that’s been damaged by decay or injury, a crown can protect it from further harm and restore its function.
- Missing Teeth: A bridge can fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth, preventing the remaining teeth from shifting and restoring your smile’s appearance.
- Large Fillings: If a tooth has a large filling that weakens its structure, a crown can provide additional support and prevent the tooth from breaking.
- Root Canal Treated Teeth: After a root canal, a tooth can become brittle and prone to fractures. A crown can protect the tooth and restore its full function.
- Cosmetic Concerns: Crowns and bridges can improve the appearance of teeth that are discoloured, misshapen, or otherwise aesthetically compromised.
How Is It Done?
Here’s how crowns and bridges are created and placed at With U Dental:
- Consultation and Smile Design: We start with a thorough consultation to assess the health of your teeth and gums. We’ll discuss your needs and goals, take digital scans, and create a customised treatment plan.
- Tooth Preparation: For a crown, the affected tooth is reshaped to make room for the crown to fit comfortably over it. If you’re getting a bridge, the teeth adjacent to the gap are also prepared to receive crowns that will support the bridge.
- Impressions and Temporary Restorations: Once the teeth are prepared, we take precise impressions to create your custom crowns and bridges. While your permanent restorations are being crafted, we’ll place temporary crowns or bridges to protect your teeth and maintain your smile.
- Fitting the Permanent Restorations: When your custom crowns and bridges are ready, we’ll remove the temporary restorations and carefully fit the permanent ones. We’ll check the fit, bite, and appearance to ensure they’re perfect before permanently bonding them in place.
- Final Adjustments and Care: After the crowns and bridges are in place, we’ll make any necessary final adjustments to ensure comfort and functionality. We’ll also provide you with care instructions to help maintain your new restorations and keep your smile healthy.
Our thorough procedure ensures a safe, efficient and comfortable experience for you.

FAQS
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With proper care, crowns and bridges can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or even longer. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential to maintaining their longevity.
Is the procedure for crowns and bridges painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the preparation or placement. Some mild discomfort after the procedure is normal, but it typically subsides within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How do I care for my crowns and bridges?
Caring for crowns and bridges is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, and avoid biting down on hard objects that could damage the restorations. Regular dental check-ups will help ensure your crowns and bridges remain in good condition.
