Dental Crowns And Bridges In Georgetown, Newcastle
Brite Smiles Dental provides dental crowns and bridges in Georgetown for patients across Newcastle who need to restore strength, function or appearance.
What Are Dental Crowns And Bridges?
Dental crowns and bridges are fixed dental restorations used to repair damaged teeth or replace missing teeth.
A crown fits over an existing tooth to help restore its strength, shape and function.
A dental bridge fills a gap left by a missing tooth and is supported by the teeth beside it.
Both treatments can help you chew more comfortably and improve the look of the affected area.
Treatments We Offer
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged, cracked or heavily filled tooth.
It can help protect the remaining tooth structure and restore its shape and function where a filling may no longer provide enough support.
Crowns may be used after significant damage, large fillings, root canal therapy or other structural problems.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed replacement for a missing tooth.
It usually fills the gap by attaching an artificial tooth to the natural teeth on either side.
A bridge may be considered when the supporting teeth are suitable and the patient wants a fixed option.
Other missing tooth options may include dental implants or removable dentures.
Visit the Missing Teeth page to compare the available replacement options.
When Do You Need A Dental Crown Or Bridge?
A dental crown may be recommended when a tooth is damaged but can still be restored.
A dental bridge may be suitable when a tooth is missing and the nearby teeth can support the replacement.
The right option depends on the condition of the tooth, the surrounding teeth and your overall oral health.
At Brite Smiles Dental in Georgetown, Newcastle, the dentist will assess the area and explain which treatment may be suitable for you.
