Our teeth are put under a lot of strain every day. Large fillings, tooth decay, root canal treatment or accidents can leave a tooth without enough strength. If teeth are already missing, this can affect your ability to chew, your appearance and, in the long term, the health of your whole bite.
As an experienced dentist, I offer crowns and bridges made from high-quality materials using modern technology. I'll talk you through all your treatment options in detail and draw up a treatment plan tailored to your dental health.

What is a crown?
A crown is a custom-made protective cap that completely covers a badly damaged tooth. It replaces the natural crown of the tooth and protects what remains of the tooth from further damage.
A crown may be a good option for:
- large fillings
- badly broken-down teeth
- after root canal treatment
- fractured or cracked teeth
- severely worn teeth
A crown restores the tooth's strength, function and appearance.
Why is a crown often better than a large filling?
The larger a filling, the thinner the remaining walls of the tooth – and they can break when you bite. A crown encases the tooth like a protective helmet and distributes biting forces evenly, which can often extend the life of the tooth considerably.
What is a bridge?
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. The neighbouring teeth act as supports (abutments) and are fitted with crowns. Between them sits the replacement tooth, called a pontic, which fills the gap.
A bridge offers:
- normal chewing
- a clear improvement in appearance
- prevents neighbouring teeth from tilting
- protects the jaw joint from uneven loading
Why should missing teeth be replaced?
Many people get used to a gap and have no problems at first. In the long term, however, various problems can develop:
- neighbouring teeth tilt into the gap
- opposing teeth grow into the gap (over-eruption)
- biting forces are distributed unevenly
- individual teeth are overloaded
- jaw joint complaints
- increased bone loss
The sooner a gap is restored, the simpler and gentler treatment usually is.

Zirconia is one of the modern materials used in dentistry.

What does treatment involve?
Examination and consultation
First, we carry out a thorough examination with X-rays and, if needed, intraoral photos. Together, we'll discuss the right solution for your individual situation.
Preparing the tooth
The tooth is gently prepared, and an impression is taken – either digitally or conventionally.
Temporary crown or bridge
You'll wear a temporary crown or bridge until your final restoration is ready.
Fitting
Your finished restoration is fitted and carefully checked. I make sure it fits perfectly, works as it should and looks natural.
My holistic approach
With a holistic approach, we look not just at the individual tooth but at your whole bite. A stable restoration can help to:
- maintain your ability to chew
- reduce uneven loading
- improve quality of life
- prevent further damage to your teeth
My aim is always to preserve your natural teeth for the long term and to provide restorations that work well and look great.
