A bridge is a replacement tooth or teeth attached to the adjacent natural teeth.
The bridge is permanently fixed in place (unlike a denture) and only a dentist can remove it.
A bridge can be made of metal, tooth-coloured porcelain, or a combination of the two.
We mainly use all-porcelain bridges.
There are two main types of bridges: conventional and resin bonded.
They are attached to the teeth in different ways.
A conventional bridge has replacement teeth that are attached to crowns.
The crowns are placed over the natural teeth on either side of the space to be filled.

A dental crown is a 'shell' that your dentist makes to fit over the top of a tooth to strengthen it.
Some people call them "caps".
Crowns are used to repair damaged or decayed teeth.
They can also be used to improve teeth that are discoloured, mis-shapen or misaligned.
Crowns make the tooth stronger and can make a huge improvement in how it looks.
There are many different types of crown - all-ceramic crowns are very popular because they have excellent aesthetics and are very hard to tell apart from 'real' teeth; plus they're strong and long-lasting.

Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or from resin composite materials.
Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth.
These "shells" are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their colour, shape, size or length.
You will need to discuss the best choice of veneer material for you with your dentist.
The dentist will use a shade guide to help you choose the best veneer colour for your teeth.
Very little tooth surface is removed when the preparation work is done and sometimes you don't even need anaesthetic.

Our team advise patients to attend for dental examinations on a regular basis to protect their oral health.
Examinations include oral cancer health screening, x-rays and periodontal (gum) health screening.
We'll risk-assess you for things like dental caries and advise you how frequently you need to attend for examinations (between 3 and 12 month intervals are usual) and how often you should have dental x-rays.
