CROWNS & BRIDGES - Restoring your smile
Crowns
Crowns can be used to restore teeth that are heavily filled, discoloured, broken or crooked. Most crowns are made of porcelain and this enables a very close colour match to existing teeth. Crowns are aesthetically pleasing and can look and feel very natural. Crowns also protect the tooth and once restored can last for many years.
Having a crown requires some preparation of the underlying tooth. On your first appointment the tooth will be shaped ready for the porcelain crown and whilst this is being made at the dental laboratory, a temporary one will be fitted. On your second appointment the crown will be fitted and you can then enjoy the results.

Bridges
Bridges are used to fill in gaps and replace missing teeth. These are used as a very viable alternative to dentures if the surrounding teeth are strong enough to support the bridge. Bridges are attached to neighbouring teeth and just like crowns, are made from porcelain and colour matched to your existing teeth. They look very natural and make such a difference to your smile.
There are several different types of bridges and your options will be fully discussed with your dentist.

"Overall I was initially concerned about the general appearance and the wear on my teeth. I had visited another practice for a consultation but I found the cost was too high for my treatment, then somebody I know suggested to visit Thornaby Dental Centre, and the cost was a lot cheaper. I had a consultation with Peter and we decided to do a full smile makeover replacing crowns and doing composite build ups.
The treatment I received was excellent and I couldn’t recommend Peter enough, the whole experience was comfortable and everything was explained to me in full detail and received brilliant aftercare advice. I have already recommended family and friends to visit the practice and I have even signed up to their Denplan Scheme. Overall I am very happy with my treatment and especially with Peter and the staff at Thornaby Dental Centre."
