RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY · PATIENT GUIDE
Understand your options for repairing a tooth or replacing missing teeth.
START WITH YOUR NEED
These treatments solve different problems. Your dentist assesses the remaining teeth, gums and bite before recommending a restoration.
A crown covers a weakened or damaged tooth to restore its shape and support.
It may be considered after extensive decay, a fracture, severe wear or root canal treatment.
A bridge replaces missing teeth with a fixed restoration supported by nearby teeth or implants.
The supporting teeth and the size of the gap help determine the design.
Dentures replace several or all missing teeth. Conventional dentures are removable.
Partial, complete and implant-retained options address different needs.
CROWNS
Your dentist prepares the tooth, takes an impression or digital scan and checks the finished crown for fit, appearance and bite.
A temporary restoration may protect the tooth while the final crown is made.
Ceramic: tooth-coloured appearance.
Zirconia: a tooth-coloured option chosen for strength.
Metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal: alternatives depending on the tooth and treatment plan.
BRIDGES & DENTURES
A traditional bridge uses neighbouring teeth for support. Other designs use bonded wings or dental implants. Your dentist explains which approach is suitable and how to clean around it.
New dentures can feel unfamiliar while you adapt to eating and speaking. Follow-up visits allow the fit to be reviewed and adjusted.
Ask about cleaning, overnight care and whether implant-retained dentures are an option for you.
YOUR VISITS
Discuss the problem, examine the mouth and compare suitable options.
Prepare where needed and take impressions or scans for your restoration.
Check appearance, comfort and bite, then discuss daily care and follow-up.
The condition of your existing teeth, the number of missing teeth, your bite and your preferences all matter. Your dentist will explain the trade-offs.
Clean daily and attend review appointments. Crowns, bridges and dentures need different cleaning techniques, so ask for a demonstration.
Ask for a written treatment plan covering the restoration, any preparatory care and follow-up. Your individual quote should explain what is included.
