Fixed Prosthetic Devices at Cambridge
Crowns and bridges are both restorative dental treatments that can help to restore the normal function and appearance of your smile.
They can fill space left by missing teeth and can also help you maintain your natural facial shape, as well as return your ability to speak and chew properly.
By repairing structural problems such as damaged or missing teeth using a dental crown or bridge, our dentists can change your smile's appearance – and preserve your oral health.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are hollow, artificial teeth that are placed over a decayed or damaged tooth to restore its shape, size and colour. Dental crowns help strengthen and change the appearance of a broken tooth that may be lost.
Crowns are strong and are made from different materials, including porcelain and metal. They look and function like natural teeth, and can last for 10 years.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a natural-looking restoration that 'bridges' a gap of missing teeth in your mouth. Made up of one or more artificial teeth, the bridge is affixed to the teeth on either side of the gap to fill the space.
A dental bridge can help to prevent your other teeth from shifting positions to fill the space, which could lead to more serious dental issues.
