Crowns and Bridges
Bespoke Restorations Designed for Strength and Beauty
A crown is recommended when a tooth has lost significant structure and requires reinforcement to prevent fracture.
At The Lodge Dental Surgery, crowns are carefully designed to restore both function and aesthetics — allowing you to chew comfortably while maintaining a natural, harmonious smile.
Crowns
When more than one-third of a tooth has been compromised, a crown provides long-term strength and protection.
We prepare the tooth conservatively under local anaesthetic and capture highly detailed digital scans using our high-definition intraoral scanner. These scans, along with clinical photography, are sent to our trusted dental laboratory to ensure precise shade matching and natural surface characterisation.
Each crown is individually crafted to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
While your final restoration is being made, you will be fitted with a temporary crown to protect the tooth.
We will discuss the most appropriate material for your situation, whether high-strength ceramic or zirconia, ensuring durability and natural appearance.
What to Expect
Crown treatment is typically completed over two appointments:
Careful preparation and digital scanning
Placement of your custom-made crown
Every stage is planned to ensure comfort, precision and long-term stability.
Bridges
Bridges are used to replace one or two missing teeth when adjacent teeth are suitable for support.
Conventional bridges involve crowning the supporting tooth with a replacement tooth attached, restoring both function and appearance.
Adhesive bridges offer a more conservative option in suitable cases and are often ideal for younger patients or as part of staged treatment planning.
We will advise you on the most appropriate option following a comprehensive assessment.
