Dental Crowns & Dental Bridges

At Ashbee Dental Care, in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, we specialise in providing high-quality dental crowns and bridges to restore your smile and improve oral functionality.

Whether you need to protect a damaged tooth or replace missing teeth, our expert team ensures effective and long-lasting solutions tailored to your needs.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are designed to look and function like your natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.

The Dental Crown Procedure

  • Initial Consultation: We examine your tooth, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment options.
  • Tooth Preparation: The tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown, and an impression is taken.
  • Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed while the permanent one is being crafted.
  • Placement: Once ready, the permanent crown is securely bonded to your tooth.

Who could benefit from Dental Crowns?

  • Patients with a weakened or cracked tooth.
  • Individuals needing protection for a tooth after a root canal.
  • Patients with large fillings where little natural tooth remains.
  • Those wanting to enhance the appearance of a discoloured or misshapen tooth.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

  • Protects and strengthens damaged teeth.
  • Restores the tooth’s natural appearance.
  • Improves chewing and speaking ability.
  • Long-lasting with proper care.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns placed on adjacent teeth (abutments) or dental implants.

Dental Bridge Treatment Procedure

  • Consultation: We evaluate the gap and determine the best type of bridge for you.
  • Preparation: Adjacent teeth are reshaped to support the crowns, and impressions are taken.
  • Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge is fitted to protect your teeth and gums.
  • Placement: The custom-made bridge is adjusted for fit and securely bonded.

Who could benefit from a Dental Bridge?

  • Patients with one or more missing teeth.

  • Those wanting to restore proper chewing and speaking.
