Crowns and bridges are fixed, natural-looking ways to rebuild damaged teeth and fill gaps. At The Tooth Spa in Chapel Allerton, Leeds, we use a crown to protect and restore a weak or broken tooth, and a bridge to replace one or more missing teeth.

Your dentist will examine your teeth, explain your options and talk you through the cost before any treatment starts.

What is a crown?

A crown is a custom-made cap that fits over the whole tooth, restoring its strength, shape and appearance. You might need one when:

123
  1. 1
    The crown
    A custom-made cap that fits over the whole tooth, made in a dental laboratory.
  2. 2
    Your tooth
    Gently shaped once the area is numb, so the crown fits over it.
  3. 3
    The root
    Stays in place, holding the restored tooth firmly in your jaw.
  • a tooth is cracked, chipped or broken
  • a large filling has left the tooth weak
  • a tooth needs protecting after root canal treatment
  • a tooth has worn down from grinding
  • a tooth is badly stained or misshapen and whitening or bonding won’t help

We offer E.max crowns, a strong and highly natural-looking ceramic that is ideal for front teeth, and zirconia crowns, which are exceptionally tough and a great choice for back teeth.

What is a bridge?

A bridge replaces a missing tooth with a false tooth held in place by the teeth either side of the gap. It is fixed, so it doesn’t need to be taken out. Filling a gap matters for more than looks, as it makes chewing easier and stops neighbouring teeth drifting or tilting.

Conventional bridge
The false tooth is held by crowns on the teeth either side.
Cantilever bridge
The false tooth is supported from one side only.
Adhesive bridge
The false tooth is bonded to small wings on the back of the neighbouring teeth, so very little preparation is needed.

We may also talk you through alternatives such as implants or dentures.

The process

What happens during treatment?

Crowns and bridges are usually completed over two appointments, about two weeks apart.

  1. 1
    Preparation
    Once the area is numb, your dentist gently shapes the tooth or supporting teeth and takes an impression. A temporary is fitted to protect them.
  2. 2
    Fitting
    Your permanent crown or bridge, made in a dental laboratory, is checked for fit, colour and bite, then bonded firmly in place.

Treatment is done under local anaesthetic, so it should feel no worse than a filling. If you feel anxious, ask us about IV sedation.

Aftercare

Looking after your crown or bridge

Brush twice a day and clean between your teeth every day. With a bridge, clean underneath the false tooth with interdental brushes or floss threaders, as food can collect there. Avoid biting very hard things such as ice or pen lids, and keep up regular check-ups and hygienist visits. With good care, both can last for many years.

Prices

How much do crowns and bridges cost?

E.max and zirconia crowns start from £924, and porcelain bridges from £924 per unit. Members of our dental plan pay from £739.20. You will get a written treatment plan with costs before any work begins, and 0% finance is available. See all prices on our fees page.

Your questions

Crown and bridge FAQs

Book a consultation →
Will it look natural?
Yes. Crowns and bridges are colour-matched to your own teeth, so most people cannot tell them apart.
Crown or veneer – what’s the difference?
A veneer is a thin shell bonded to the front of a healthy tooth. A crown covers the whole tooth, so it is the better choice when a tooth is weak or badly damaged.
Should I choose a bridge or an implant?
A bridge is quicker and usually costs less, but relies on the neighbouring teeth for support. An implant replaces the root as well as the tooth and leaves the neighbouring teeth untouched.
What if my crown or bridge comes loose?
Keep it safe and call us. It can often be re-cemented, and our emergency dentist team offers same-day appointments.
