Crowns & Bridges in Giffnock – Restore Strength & Beauty to Your Smile

What Are Crowns & Bridges?

Crowns and bridges are long-lasting dental restorations designed to strengthen and restore your teeth.

• Crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance.
• Bridges are used to replace missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth between two crowns, providing a natural-looking and secure solution for gaps in your smile.

Who Needs a Crown or Bridge?

You may benefit from a crown if you have:

• A weakened or broken tooth due to decay or trauma
• A large filling and need extra tooth support
• A root canal-treated tooth that requires protection
• A cosmetic concern, such as discolouration or misshapen teeth

A bridge is a great solution if you:

• Have one or more missing teeth
• Want a fixed alternative to removable dentures
• Want to prevent shifting of surrounding teeth

The Crown & Bridge Process

1. Consultation & Assessment – We examine your teeth, discuss your options, and plan your treatment.
2. Tooth Preparation – The affected tooth is reshaped to accommodate a crown, or adjacent teeth are prepared to support a bridge.
3. Digital Impressions – We take precise impressions for a custom-fit restoration.
4. Temporary Crown/Bridge – A temporary restoration protects your tooth while your custom one is made.
5. Final Fitting & Bonding – Once ready, your crown or bridge is permanently secured for a strong and natural-looking finish.

How Long Do Crowns & Bridges Last?

With proper care, crowns and bridges can last 10-15 years or longer. Good oral hygiene, regular check-ups, and avoiding excessive biting forces help prolong their lifespan.
