Crown & Bridge work
Crown and bridgework are dental treatments used to restore damaged or missing teeth. A crown is a cap placed over a damaged tooth to strengthen and protect it, while a bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth.
Why Crown & Bridge work?
Crown and bridge work is essential for maintaining your oral health, improving the functionality of your teeth, and restoring a beautiful smile. It prevents shifting of surrounding teeth and helps maintain a good bite and chewing function.
Treatment process crown & bridge work
At We Smile Dentists Leiden we use the latest technologies and materials to ensure that your crown and bridge work looks natural and feels comfortable.
Step-by-step treatment
- Consultation and planning: During the first appointment, the dentist will assess your teeth and discuss the best options for crown or bridge work.
X-rays are often taken to check the health of the surrounding teeth and jawbone. - Preparing the teeth: For crowns, the tooth in question is ground to make room for the crown. For bridges, the teeth on either side of the missing tooth are prepared as buttresses.
- Digital scans and color determination: Instead of printing, we use advanced scanners to create a digital model of your teeth. The color of the crown or bridge is accurately matched to the color of your natural teeth.
- Temporary crown/bridge placement: A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect your teeth until the final restoration is completed.
- Placement of the definitive crown/bridge: During the second appointment, the definitive crown or bridge is placed and adjusted for a perfect fit and comfort.
