Crowns are made by the dentist to restore damaged teeth or those prone to breaking. Teeth with large fillings and root treatments can fracture easily - and so these also should be covered and protected using this method.
Crowns can be an appropriate solution for patients suffering from fractured, chipped, or sensitive teeth. It is in essence a cap' that covers the natural tooth and forms a protective barrier and provides a more aesthetically pleasing look.

Bridges are essentially false teeth which are held together by two porcelain crowns. Bridges can replace one or more missing teeth and provide a natural look while minimising speaking and chewing problems.
If you have a missing tooth, and the area is not suitable for a dental implant tooth- then a crown can be made to fill this gap: this is held by another one next to it, which is cemented on to the adjacent tooth. These connected crowns are secure and a good alternative to dentures.
A Cosmetic dentist at Longwood House can make crowns and bridges to look like natural teeth.
