Crowns & Bridges

Expertly crafted restorations that blend structural strength, oral function, and natural aesthetics.

Whether you need to reinforce a weakened tooth or replace a missing one, our custom-made crowns and bridges provide a durable, long-term solution.

Our Wilmslow team works with master dental technicians to create porcelain restorations that mimic the translucency and strength of natural teeth. By combining clinical expertise with the latest in dental materials, we restore your bite’s integrity and your smile’s appearance.

Restoring Strength to Damaged Teeth

A dental crown, often referred to as a “cap,” is a bespoke restoration that fits over a compromised tooth to protect it from further damage. This treatment is ideal for teeth that are heavily filled, cracked, or have undergone root canal therapy.

Unlike standard restorations, our crowns are designed to sit flush with your gum line, ensuring a seamless transition between the tooth and the restoration. By using high-grade ceramic and zirconia, we provide a finish that is virtually indistinguishable from your natural enamel.

  • Bespoke colour-matching to your natural teeth
  • High-strength, metal-free ceramic options
  • Precision fit to prevent future decay
  • Full restoration of biting and chewing function

A stable solution for missing teeth

A dental bridge is a sophisticated way to fill a gap left by one or more missing teeth. It consists of a prosthetic tooth (a pontic) that is held in place by the natural teeth on either side of the gap.

For our patients in Wilmslow, bridges offer a fixed, non-removable alternative to partial dentures. Our clinical team ensures the supporting teeth are healthy and strong, providing a foundation that allows you to eat, speak, and smile with absolute confidence.

Your restoration journey

Clinical Assessment

We perform a detailed examination and take digital diagnostics to ensure a crown or bridge is the most appropriate long-term solution for your health.

Preparation & Impressions

The tooth is gently shaped, and a 3D intra oral scan is taken. This is sent to our master laboratory where your bespoke restoration is handcrafted.

Final Fitting

Once ready, you return to our Wilmslow surgery for the final fit. We check the bite and aesthetics meticulously before bonding the restoration permanently in place.

Frequently asked questions

With excellent oral hygiene and regular professional check-ups at our Stockport practice, high-quality porcelain restorations typically last between 10 and 15 years. We provide detailed aftercare advice to help you maximise the lifespan of your restoration.

Not at all. The preparation and fitting stages are carried out under local anaesthetic to ensure your total comfort. Our team is highly experienced in supporting nervous patients, ensuring a relaxed experience throughout.

A veneer covers only the front surface of a tooth for aesthetic improvement, whereas a crown covers the entire tooth. Crowns are generally recommended when a tooth needs additional structural support or has been significantly damaged.

Yes, bridges can be used to replace multiple teeth. In some cases, we may suggest combining a bridge with dental implants for enhanced stability, which our surgical team can discuss with you during your consultation.

Bridges require specific cleaning techniques, such as using interdental brushes or “superfloss” to clean underneath the prosthetic tooth. Our dental hygiene team will demonstrate these techniques to ensure your gums remain healthy and your bridge stays secure.
