When a tooth has been weakened or lost, the question often becomes how to restore function without creating new problems. Crowns and bridges at UV Dental focus on supporting damaged or missing teeth in a way that fits comfortably, with time taken to explain options before treatment begins.
As dentists in Kimberley, UV Dental plans crowns and bridges carefully so you understand how the restoration will work and what it means for your bite.
What are crowns and bridges?
A crown is placed over a tooth that has been weakened by decay, fracture, or previous treatment. It restores shape and support, allowing the tooth to function more comfortably.
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighbouring teeth. Seeing one of our dentists in Kimberley allows us to assess the condition of the surrounding teeth before deciding on the appropriate option.
When might crowns or bridges be recommended?
Crowns and bridges may be recommended when a tooth can no longer function properly on its own, or when a missing tooth is affecting how your teeth work together.
Your dentist will explain whether a crown or bridge is suitable and how it fits into your overall dental care.
How are crowns and bridges planned?
Crowns and bridges are designed to fit comfortably and function properly within your bite. This involves assessing spacing, tooth structure, and how your teeth meet.
Our dentist will explain how the restoration is designed and how it will support everyday use. In certain situations, planning may involve Restorative Dentistry before the final restoration is placed.
