Crown & Bridges

Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are carefully made restorations used to strengthen damaged teeth, restore function and replace missing teeth. Modern materials allow us to create restorations that are strong and durable while also closely replicating the appearance of natural teeth.

At Station St Dental, crowns and bridges are individually planned and designed to complement your existing teeth, bite and smile.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a tooth when there is insufficient healthy tooth structure for a conventional filling or other more conservative restoration.

A crown may be recommended for a tooth that is:

Heavily filled or structurally weakened
Cracked or fractured
Significantly worn
Heavily restored following root canal treatment
Being rebuilt as part of more comprehensive restorative treatment
Unsuitable for a simpler, more conservative restoration

Wherever possible, we aim to preserve healthy natural tooth structure. A crown is recommended when we believe the additional protection and strength it provides is appropriate for the long-term health of the tooth.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. The replacement tooth or teeth are connected to supporting teeth or dental implants, creating a restoration that remains securely in place.

Depending on the individual situation, options may include:

Traditional bridges, supported by neighbouring natural teeth
Implant-supported bridges, supported by dental implants rather than natural teeth

Bridges can restore appearance and chewing function while helping maintain the position and stability of the surrounding teeth.

Carefully Planned, Natural-Looking Restorations

A successful crown or bridge should do more than simply fill a space or repair a tooth. It needs to fit accurately, function comfortably within your bite and integrate naturally with the surrounding teeth.

We use digital scanning and high-quality contemporary ceramic materials to help achieve predictable fit, strength and aesthetics.

If a tooth is damaged or a tooth is missing, we will assess the available options and explain whether a crown, bridge, dental implant or a more conservative treatment would be most appropriate for you.
