Restoration, planned like a cosmetic case
A crown or bridge is only as good as the fit and the judgement behind it. Ours are planned the same way we plan a veneer case, proportion, shade and bite considered together, so a restored tooth sits in your smile rather than announcing itself.

What are crowns and bridges?
A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a tooth entirely, used when there's too little natural tooth left for a filling to hold, after a large cavity, a root canal, or a fracture. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the crowns on either side of the gap, without surgery.
Both are crafted from durable, tooth-coloured materials (porcelain, or porcelain fused to a strong core) chosen to match your surrounding teeth and withstand normal biting force. Treatment is completed over two visits, including a bite adjustment appointment, to make sure the fit and feel are exactly right before you leave with the final piece.
How it works
Completed over two visits, from assessment to a final fit that feels natural straight away.
Assessment
We examine the tooth or gap, take X-rays where needed, and confirm whether a crown, bridge, or an alternative such as an implant is the right long-term solution.
Preparation
The tooth is gently shaped to make room for the crown, and an impression or digital scan is taken to send to the lab.
Temporary Restoration
You leave with a temporary crown or bridge so the tooth stays protected and functional while your final piece is crafted.
Fit & Finish
Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, we fit and bond it, check your bite, and make final adjustments so it feels natural straight away.

Crowns & Bridges questions? We are glad you asked.
The questions patients ask us most about crowns and bridges.
Crowns start from $2,550 per tooth, and bridges from $6,000. Treatment takes 2 visits including a bite adjustment, and the price per crown decreases when several are done together.
With good care, a well-fitted crown or bridge typically lasts 10 to 15 years or longer, though this varies with bite force, grinding habits and oral hygiene.
The preparation is done under local anaesthetic, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Some sensitivity in the days after is normal and settles quickly.
A veneer covers the front surface of a tooth for cosmetic reasons; a crown covers the entire tooth and is used when there's a structural problem, not just an appearance one.
Both replace a missing tooth well. A bridge doesn't require surgery but relies on the two neighbouring teeth for support; an implant stands independently and doesn't touch adjacent teeth. We'll talk through which suits your case at consultation.
Yes, shade and shape are matched to your surrounding teeth during planning, the same process we use for veneers.
No, our process takes 2 visits, including a bite adjustment appointment, so the fit is checked properly before your final crown is in place. You'll wear a temporary crown between visits.
