Crowns Cap, Bridges Span — Both Restore What Time Took

A crown is a custom-fit porcelain cap that covers a damaged tooth — protecting it from further breakage and restoring full chewing function. A bridge uses crowns on adjacent teeth to 'bridge' a gap left by a missing tooth.

Both are made from premium tooth-coloured porcelain, hand-tinted to match your existing teeth so precisely that even you won't be able to tell.

  • Indistinguishable from natural teeth
  • Protects cracked or root-canalled teeth
  • Restores 100% of chewing function
  • Premium porcelain — no metal showing
Why It Matters

The Real Benefits Patients Notice

Prevents Further Damage

A crown holds together a cracked tooth — saving it from extraction down the line.

Perfect Aesthetic Match

Hand-tinted porcelain matches your surrounding teeth in colour, translucency and shape.

Restores Full Function

Bite into anything — apples, steak, almonds — with the same force as a natural tooth.

Long-Lasting

A well-cared-for porcelain crown lasts 15–25 years. Bridges typically last 10–15.

Is This Right For You?

You Likely Need a Crown or Bridge If

Crowns rescue teeth that fillings can't save. Bridges replace single missing teeth without surgery — a great option when implants aren't right for you.

  • Cracked, broken or severely worn tooth
  • Just had a root canal (crown protects the tooth)
  • Large old filling that's failing
  • Missing a single tooth between healthy neighbours
  • Want a non-surgical alternative to an implant
  • Cosmetic concerns (size, shape, dark discoloration)
Frequently Asked

Common Questions About Dental Crowns & Bridges

Yes — our ceramist hand-tints each crown to match your natural shade, including the subtle translucency at the edge. Most patients can't pick which tooth is the crown.

Two visits, about 90 minutes total. Visit 1 (prep + temporary) is the longer one; visit 2 (final fit) is usually under 30 minutes.

After 1–2 weeks of getting used to it, no. The bite is calibrated to your exact occlusion.

Different problems. A crown saves an existing tooth; an implant replaces a missing one. If your tooth can be saved with a crown, that's usually the better choice.

Most plans cover 50% after deductible. We submit pre-determination so you'll know your exact out-of-pocket before we start.
