Dental Crowns
and Bridges

At Millbank Dental Care, conveniently located in the heart of Westminster, London, we understand the importance of a healthy, beautiful smile. Our experienced dental team is dedicated to providing personalised treatment plans that utilise advanced techniques and materials, including a range of Dental crown and bridge options tailored to meet diverse needs and aesthetic preferences.

What are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants. They provide both functional and aesthetic benefits, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably.

How Do They Work?

Dental Crowns: The process typically involves reshaping the existing tooth to create space for the crown. An impression is then taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where the crown is fabricated. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is being made. Once the permanent crown is ready, it is carefully fitted and cemented onto the prepared tooth.

Dental Bridges: Similar to crown placement, the abutment teeth are prepared for crowns. Impressions are taken, and a bridge consisting of the pontic(s) and crowns is created in a dental laboratory. A temporary bridge is usually placed to protect the prepared teeth and maintain space. Once the permanent bridge is ready, it's fitted and cemented onto the abutment teeth, effectively filling the gap.

Is It The Right Option?

Whether a dental crown or bridge is the right option for you will depend on your circumstances and needs. During a comprehensive consultation at Millbank Dental Care, our experienced dentists will thoroughly evaluate your oral health, discuss your concerns, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan. Factors considered include:

  • The extent of tooth damage or loss.
  • The health of the surrounding teeth and gums.
  • Your bite and jaw alignment.
  • Your aesthetic goals.
  • Your budget.

In some cases, alternative treatments such as dental implants or dentures may be considered. We will carefully explain all options and help you make an informed decision.

Gold Crowns and Bridges

While not as aesthetically appealing as porcelain or zirconia, gold crowns are highly durable and biocompatible. They are often used for molars, where strength is a primary concern.

Living with Dental Crowns and Bridges

With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns and bridges can last for many years. Here are some tips for maintaining their longevity:

  • Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to remove plaque and bacteria.
  • Use a Soft-Bristled Toothbrush: Avoid abrasive toothpastes that can scratch the surface of the crown or bridge.
  • Avoid Hard and Sticky Foods: These can damage or dislodge the crown or bridge.
  • Schedule Regular Dental Checkups: Your dentist will monitor the condition of your crown or bridge and provide professional cleaning and maintenance.
  • Consider a Nightguard: If you grind your teeth at night, a nightguard can protect your crown or bridge from excessive wear and tear.
