At Wentwood House Dental Practice we aim to save all teeth and prevent the need for extraction. Even severely affected teeth can be saved with crowns and / or bridges.

A crown is one of the best ways of saving teeth and strengthening them simultaneously. The ceramic crown fits over the affected tooth to amend its shape, size or strength. This restores your teeth aesthetically and functionally.

Porcelain crowns may be made to match the exact colour, texture and translucency as your natural teeth.

For more severe cases where teeth are actually missing or need to be removed, we can use a bridge. A bridge replaces the missing tooth with an artificial one without the need for uncomfortable dentures. In this treatment, the artificial tooth is anchored to the natural teeth on each side of the gap - creating a ‘bridge’.

Bridges can help prevent the cycle of problems that occur when just one tooth is missing, such as shifting and drifting of remaining teeth, decay and periodontal bone loss.

Bridges are less invasive and easier to complete than dental implants and are a more comfortable stable alternative to Dentures.
