If you need a cosmetic and restorative makeover, we provide crowns and bridges. These are quality cosmetic treatments that can reinvigorate and rejuvenate a smile that is looking tired or needs enhancement.
Crowns
A Crown is a restoration that is placed over the affected tooth to amend its shape, size or strength. They cap or completely cover a tooth and may be used for aesthetic or functional reasons.
Two types of crowns are used mostly:
- Metal bonded to porcelain crowns have been used for many years and are still utilized in most cases depending on the shade chosen. They consist of a Metal core with Porcelain baked around it. Metal is virtually invisible once crown is cemented in place.
- Zirconia All Ceramic crowns have ceramic core and contain no metal. They are also commonly used.
Your City Smiles dentist will be able to advise which crown choice is more appropriate and why.
Most often crowns are used to repair cracked teeth weakened by fillings, grinding, clenching or root canal treatment. They can also be used for cosmetic reasons and if excessive wear has occurred.

Bridges
If you have missing teeth and are looking for a straightforward treatments that looks good and restores your mouth to good dental function, then dental bridges are a suitable option.
If you are faced with tooth loss, bridgework may be right for you. This is a long term solution which helps to prevent the cycle of problems that occur when just a tooth is missing, including; shifting and drifting of remaining teeth, decay and periodontal bone loss as well as cosmetic problems.
A Bridge is essentially a device anchored to surrounding teeth that replaces one or more missing teeth. When a lost tooth is replaced with cemented bridgework, the tooth on either side of the missing one must be prepared as a crown to serve as abutments, to hold the Bridge in place.
