Frequently asked questions
A dental crown is a slim, tailor-made cap that fits securely over your existing tooth. It reinforces and helps safeguard your natural tooth, while improving its visual appeal. Dental crowns are typically made from porcelain, a highly durable material that can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth.
A dental bridge fills a gap between your teeth using artificial teeth ‘implanting’ them into your jaw like a traditional dental implant. A bridge links a prosthetic tooth to your natural teeth on either side of the space. Bridges can be an excellent alternative if you're not keen on dental implants, or if your gum tissue or jawbone isn't suitable for a dental implant.
Generally, no, getting a dental crown is not painful as your dentist will give you a local anaesthetic to numb the area. It may be uncomfortable to sit in the chair with your mouth open during treatment, but you can put your hand up for a break at any time.
Dental crowns are a permanent solution, but they can wear down over time. Typically, crowns will last in the decades, for at least 20 years before showing signs of wear and tear.
Should your crown fail, it is a simple matter of having it replaced with a new one.
A dental bridge generally only replaces just one tooth; however, it can replace up to four teeth, depending on your oral health and the placement of the gap, so be sure to ask your dentist for the best options.
