Crowns & Bridges in Giffnock

  • 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.
Why Consider Crowns or Bridges?
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
Have one or more missing teeth
Want a fixed alternative to removable dentures
Want to prevent shifting of surrounding teeth

The Crown & Bridge Process

Consultation & Assessment

We examine your teeth, discuss your options, and plan your treatment.

Tooth Preperation

The affected tooth is reshaped to accommodate a crown, or adjacent teeth are prepared to support a bridge.

Digital Impressions

We take precise impressions for a custom-fit restoration.

Temporary Crown / Bridge

A temporary restoration protects your tooth while your custom one is made.

Final Fitting and Bonding

Once ready, your crown or bridge is permanently secured for a strong and natural-looking finish.

“Great practice – the team are very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend.”

How long do crowns and 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.

Dental Crown FAQs

  • How much does a dental crown cost in Scotland?: The cost of a private dental crown in Scotland usually ranges from £600–£900, depending on the material used and the complexity of treatment. In Glasgow, many practices price crowns from around £750 following an assessment.
  • How much does an NHS dentist charge for a crown?: NHS dental crowns in Scotland fall under Band 3 treatment, which currently costs £150.92. Eligibility depends on clinical need, and material choices are limited compared to private treatment.
  • What happens if I can’t afford a crown?: If cost is a concern, you may be eligible for NHS treatment or able to use a payment plan at a private practice. Your dentist can also discuss temporary or alternative options to protect the tooth.
  • Are private crowns better than NHS crowns?: Private crowns offer more choice in materials, appearance, and turnaround time, especially for visible teeth. NHS crowns focus on restoring function and may be more limited cosmetically.
  • Can a tooth rot under a crown?: Yes, decay can still develop underneath a crown if bacteria reach the tooth at the edges. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups help prevent this and keep the crown lasting longer.

Same-Day Temporary Crown for Urgent Aesthetic Restoration

A patient attended the practice with a fractured anterior tooth, just two days before an upcoming holiday—their first in a long time. The situation was causing significant distress due to both aesthetic concerns and the timing.

The Clinical Challenge

  • Acute tooth fracture requiring immediate intervention
  • Limited timeframe (48 hours before travel)
  • High patient anxiety and expectation for an aesthetic solution
  • Need for a functional and visually acceptable interim restoration

The Process

Dr Larmour carried out immediate chairside management to stabilise and restore the tooth:

  1. Tooth Preparation
    The fractured tooth was carefully prepared to remove compromised structure and create a suitable foundation for restoration.
  2. Core Build-Up
    A composite build-up was performed to reconstruct the tooth form and provide adequate support for a provisional crown.
  3. Chairside Temporary Crown Fabrication
    A same-day temporary crown was fabricated and fitted chairside, restoring both function and aesthetics in a single visit

The Outcome

  • The patient left the practice with a natural-looking temporary crown
  • Immediate improvement in confidence and comfort
  • Able to proceed with their holiday without concern

The Follow-Up

The patient returned after their holiday for placement of a definitive crown. They reported being extremely pleased with the temporary solution, which allowed them to enjoy their trip without self-consciousness.
