Onlays, Crowns & Bridges
Restoring Your Smile
ONLAYS, CROWNS & BRIDGES
At The Dentists of Didsbury, we know how much your smile matters. If you’ve got a tooth that’s damaged, weakened, or missing, onlays, crowns and bridges can help bring it back to function—making your smile stronger, more comfortable, and natural-looking.
What is a Crown?
CROWNS
A crown is like a little cap for your tooth. It covers and protects a damaged tooth, helping it work like it should and keeping it safe from further wear or decay. Crowns are perfect if you’ve had a big filling, a cracked tooth, or a root canal treatment.
What is a Bridge?
A bridge does exactly what it sounds like—it “bridges” the gap where a tooth is missing. It’s made up of one or more false teeth, held in place by the healthy teeth either side of the gap. Bridges not only improve your smile, but they also help you chew properly and stop the rest of your teeth drifting to as they would if the missing tooth were not replaced.
How the Treatment Works
01
Consultation & Planning
We’ll talk you through your options and make sure an onlay, crown or bridge is the right choice for you.
02
Preparation
Your tooth (or teeth) is gently shaped to make room for the onlay, crown or bridge material. We’ll take a digital impression so your new onlay, crown or bridge fits perfectly.
03
Provisional Onlay/Crown/Bridge
While your permanent one is being made, we’ll place a temporary crown or bridge to keep you comfortable.
04
Fitting the Permanent Onlay, Crown or Bridge
At your next appointment, we’ll carefully place your new onlay, crown or bridge, making sure it fits, that you’re happy with how it looks, feels comfortable, and looks natural before going ahead and cementing it into place.
