Before Treatment
After Treatment
This astute 57 year old man was not happy with the colour, shape and position of his 3 unit bridge. There was decay at the margins and staining in between the teeth. The teeth were positioned too far forward in a protruding manner which the patient did not like. After much assessment and a detailed wax design, we agreed on the ideal position of the future teeth and remade the bridge after full mouth teeth whitening. An improved temporary bridge was first made to check the improvements were ideal. For better symmetry, we decided to place a matching ceramic veneer on the UL2 which beautifully completed the picture. As the patients gum line is covered by his upper lip while smiling, we made no effort to hide the bridge margins under the gums, hence allowing for better cleaning.

This attractive 39 year old lady was very unhappy with the appearance of her 3 unit bridge. The bridge was too dark, too dull, too short, obvious connection between the units and the UL1 too long near the gum line due to lack of any bone. We bone grafted the UL1 site to idealise the bone anatomy. This allowed us to make a new 3 unit bridge where the gum lines are level on all units. We also whitened her teeth, and made the new bridge longer, whiter, better aligned and not seem connected. For optimum symmetry, we also restored the UR2 with a matching ceramic veneer. She was very delighted and enjoyed smiling again !

After Treatment
This lovely 46 year old medical nurse, was not happy with the aesthetic appearance of her older crowns. They were the wrong shape, alignment and colour. They were also connected which did not allow for ideal hygiene. After much design work, the health of the gums was improved and new crowns wear made with the correct shape, colour and alignment. She and us were very delighted with the end results.

Crown & bridge solutions
Crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth, which have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or by placing a very large filling. Root treated teeth may require a crown to protect the remaining tooth.
A bridge is made by constructing crowns on the teeth on either side of the space, and joining these two crowns together by placing a false tooth in the space. The procedure is the same as the crown procedure. The end result is very aesthetic and functional.

Dental crown & bridge questions
-
Crowns are made of a variety of materials and new materials are constantly introduced on the market. Different materials are used for different procedures.
Porcelain bonded to precious metal crown - is made of a precious metal base and porcelain is then applied in layers over the base.
Porcelain crowns - these crowns are not as strong as the bonded crowns but they can look very natural and are mostly used on front teeth and on people that do not grind their teeth.
Porcelain and composite crowns - these crowns are made of a resin material and can look very natural. They are not as strong as bonded crowns and are used as a "long term" intermediate solution for full mouth reconstruction cases.
These crowns help the patient to get used to repositioning of the bite.
Precious metal crowns - Gold and palladium crowns are very strong and hard wearing and are usually used at the back of the mouth. They are nor visible and most suitable for people who grind and clench their teeth.
-
The tooth will be prepared to the ideal shape of the crown. This will involve removing most of the outer surface of the tooth leaving a core. The thickness of the crown will be the same as the amount of tooth that has been removed.
Once the tooth is shaped an impression of the prepared tooth will be taken and one of the opposite jaw and another to mark the way you bite. All the impressions will be sent to the technician to reproduce a crown that fits the tooth.
A visit to the laboratory will be needed to match the colour of the crown to the existing teeth. The prepared tooth will have a temporary crown fitted until the new crown is ready.
The treatment takes at least two visits to the surgery and one visit with the laboratory.
-
Appearance and better function of the mouth. The gap left by a missing tooth can mean greater strain is put on the teeth on each side. The bite can be affected because the teeth on each side of the missing tooth can lean into the gap and alter the way the upper and lower teeth meet.
Food can get into the gap and decay and gum disease will develop.
-
The placement of missing teeth depends on the location of the gaps and the condition of the remaining teeth. There are a few options to replace missing teeth. A bridge is usually used where fewer teeth need replacing.
An implant can be placed into the gap of the missing tooth or a partial denture.
