Dental Bridges and Crowns Stoke On Trent

A CROWN or a ‘cap’ can be fitted over a tooth or dental implant to strengthen, repair and improve the appearance of an existing tooth. This can be made out of porcelain, silver or gold. All of our crowns are bespoke and tailored to fit in your mouth to ensure it will restore the best aesthetics and function. All our crowns and bridges offered at present are metal-free, however we also make traditional gold crowns if patient requests.  

Normally a crown is provided if the tooth is so badly damaged that the tooth simply cannot be repaired by a filling only. We have many different types of materials available now, which produce crowns which are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and also strong enough to produce a long lasting result.

Now with CEREC, we can take a digital impression; design, mill and fit your crown in the same visit.

Dental Bridge

A dental bridge is a fixed and permanent solution when you are missing one or more teeth. Usually a bridge is made out of two or more teeth in porcelain and this is bonded to an adjacent tooth for anchorage.

There are three different types of
bridges that we can provide:

Maryland bridge

This was first developed at the University of Maryland and is often used to bridge a gap between the front teeth. It consists of a pontic made from porcelain that is fused to a metal framework. This takes the form of two ‘wings’ that appear on each side of the pontic. and are bonded to your natural teeth.

Traditional fixed bridge

This involves the fixing of a pontic between two porcelain crowns that are fastened to your natural teeth or dental implants. The pontic can be made of ceramic or porcelain fused to metal and cannot be removed by the patient.

Cantilever bridge

This is an option where there is a natural tooth on just one side of the gap. This involves the fixing of a pontic to a porcelain crown, which is fastened to your natural tooth or dental implants. The pontic can be made of ceramic or porcelain fused to metal and cannot be removed by the patient.
