Understanding
Understanding Crowns & Bridges
Crowns and bridges are two of the most versatile and proven restorations in modern dentistry. Understanding how each works helps you make a confident, informed decision about your care.
1
Dental CrownsOften called caps, crowns are custom-made restorations that envelop a tooth's entire visible portion — restoring integrity to damaged teeth, protecting teeth after root canal treatment, enhancing discoloured or misshapen teeth, and anchoring bridges.
2
Dental BridgesWhen one or more teeth are missing, bridges close the gap — one or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns on either side, restoring your smile and chewing function and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting.
3
CEREC Same-Day CrownsWe offer in-house CEREC milling — meaning your crown can often be designed, fabricated, and fitted in a single appointment. No temporary crowns, no second visits.
4
Material OptionsWe offer a range of crown materials — porcelain, all-ceramic, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal — selected based on the tooth's location, bite forces, and your aesthetic preferences.
Benefits
Benefits of Crowns & Bridges
A well-crafted crown or bridge doesn't just fix a tooth — it restores confidence, function, and long-term oral health.
Function
Restored Function
Eat, speak, and live without restriction — enjoying the full functionality of your teeth. Whether it's biting into an apple or speaking without discomfort, a well-placed crown or bridge gives you back the confidence to use your teeth naturally.
Many patients report that daily activities they had started to avoid — certain foods, social situations, even laughing fully — become effortless again after their restoration. Function and quality of life go hand in hand.

Aesthetics
Aesthetic Enhancement
With restorations designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, your smile's aesthetics are greatly improved. We match your crown or bridge to the shade, shape, and translucency of your surrounding teeth — making the restoration virtually indistinguishable from nature.
Modern all-ceramic and zirconia crowns are particularly lifelike, reflecting light in the same way natural tooth enamel does. The result is a smile that looks whole, beautiful, and completely natural.

Protection
Protection from Further Damage
Crowns protect vulnerable teeth from further damage or decay. A cracked, broken, or heavily filled tooth is at significant risk of fracturing further or becoming infected. A crown encases the entire tooth structure above the gum line, distributing bite forces evenly and shielding it from future harm.
After a root canal treatment, for example, the treated tooth becomes more brittle. A crown placed over the top dramatically extends its lifespan — often by a decade or more.

Oral Health
Improved Oral Health
Bridges prevent teeth from drifting out of place due to gaps — ensuring the overall health of your dental structure. When a tooth is lost and not replaced, the surrounding teeth will gradually migrate into the empty space, causing misalignment, bite changes, and difficulty cleaning.
A bridge stabilises the entire arch, preserving your bite, protecting the jawbone from further bone loss, and making it far easier to maintain good oral hygiene long term.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Your oral health and satisfaction are our top priorities at Coastal Dental. If you have more questions about crowns, bridges, or any other dental concerns, don't hesitate to reach out.
Book NowWith proper care, dental crowns typically last 10–15 years — and often significantly longer. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns and all-ceramic crowns are both highly durable with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups. Dental bridges similarly last 10–15 years or more. Factors that influence longevity include the material chosen, where in the mouth the crown is placed, your bite, and whether you grind your teeth. We'll advise you on the best material for your specific situation.
Every 6 months for most patients — and it matters even more once you have a crown or bridge. While the restoration itself can't decay, the natural tooth beneath a crown and the teeth supporting a bridge still can, particularly around the margins where restoration meets tooth. Regular professional cleans keep those junctions healthy, and our team will show you how to clean beneath a bridge at home.
Yes — that's the entire aim. We match the shade, shape, and translucency of your restoration to your surrounding teeth, and with CEREC digital design we can preview and refine the result before it's milled. Modern all-ceramic and zirconia materials reflect light the way natural enamel does, so a well-made crown or bridge is virtually indistinguishable from your own teeth.
Care for it like a natural tooth: brush twice daily, floss, and keep up your 6-monthly check-ups and cleans. For bridges, we'll show you how to clean underneath the artificial tooth using super floss or interdental brushes. Avoid chewing ice or very hard objects, and if you grind your teeth at night, a custom night guard will significantly extend your restoration's life.
Often just one. With our in-house CEREC milling, most single crowns can be designed, fabricated, and fitted in a single appointment — no temporary crown, no second visit. More complex cases, and most bridges, are typically completed over two visits. We'll confirm what to expect for your specific treatment before we begin.
Absolutely. We offer completely metal-free options including all-ceramic and zirconia crowns and bridges, which are strong, biocompatible, and highly aesthetic. Let us know about any allergies or sensitivities at your consultation and we'll select a material that's safe and right for you.
