Questions about crowns & bridges
Which crown material should I choose?
It depends on where the tooth is and how it looks. Front teeth usually suit all-ceramic or zirconia; the options are explained at the visit.
Bridge or implant?
A bridge uses the neighbouring teeth for support; an implant does not. Both are discussed with you before deciding.
How long do crowns last?
With good care and regular check-ups, many years.
Your options, the number of visits and the cost are explained before any treatment begins. More questions
