Understanding Restorative Dentistry
What Are Crowns & Bridges?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength and function.
A dental bridge can be used to replace a missing tooth or teeth by connecting an artificial tooth to supporting teeth or other suitable structures.
The most appropriate restoration depends on the condition of your teeth, gums, bite, oral health and long-term treatment requirements.
The Objective
Restore Strength, Function & Appearance.
Restorative dentistry aims to rebuild teeth that have been damaged or replace selected missing teeth while maintaining a healthy and functional bite.
- ✓ Restore damaged tooth structure
- ✓ Replace selected missing teeth
- ✓ Improve chewing function
- ✓ Support a natural-looking smile
Two Different Restorative Solutions

- Can provide a natural-looking appearance
02
Dental Bridge
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by connecting the replacement tooth or teeth to supporting structures.

- Provides a fixed restorative option in suitable cases
When Restorative Treatment May Help
Rebuild A Tooth That Has Lost Strength Or Function.
Your dentist will assess the condition of your tooth or missing-tooth area before recommending the appropriate restorative solution.
01
Large Tooth Damage
Extensive damage or loss of tooth structure may make a crown appropriate for restoring the tooth.
02
After Root Canal Treatment
Some root canal treated teeth may require additional protection with a suitable restoration.

Missing Tooth
A bridge may be considered for replacing a missing tooth when the surrounding conditions are suitable.

Existing Restoration Failure
Damaged or failing restorations may need assessment and replacement.

From Assessment To A Finished Restoration.
Every restorative case is different. Your treatment sequence will depend on the condition of the tooth, supporting tissues and selected restoration.
01
Examination & Treatment Planning
The teeth, gums, bite and surrounding structures are evaluated to determine the most appropriate restorative approach.
02
Tooth Preparation
When a crown is indicated, the tooth is carefully prepared to create the space required for the planned restoration.
03
Impressions Or Digital Records
Appropriate records are taken to help design a restoration that fits the individual tooth and surrounding dental structures.
04
Restoration Fabrication
The selected crown or bridge restoration is prepared according to the planned specifications.
05
Fitting & Final Placement
The restoration is assessed for fit, function and appearance before final placement when clinically appropriate.
