Crowns – Teeth Capping Services In Chapel Allerton, Leeds

A crown is a cap that is placed on top of one of your teeth. It is made to look like your original teeth, and the aim is to cover damage. When your crown has been put in place, it will completely cover up your original tooth.

There are many situations where it might be deemed necessary to recommend that a crown is fitted, including:

• If you have a tooth that is weak and needs to be protected from either decay or from breaking
• To restore one of your teeth that has either been worn down or broken in some way
• To support a tooth that has already been extensively filled, where there might not be very much tooth remaining to treat
• To support a dental bridge and keep it in place
• To cover up a dental implant that you’ve had fitted
• To change the way that your teeth look in some way

Bridges

If you have missing teeth, then a bridge could be one of the best options for you. As the name would suggest, it ‘bridges’ the gap between your existing teeth, with false teeth attached to the bridge in order to fill any gaps that might be left. In this way, you can get a full mouth of teeth without anyone ever needing to know that you even had a gap in the first place.

There are a number of benefits to dental bridges including:

• Improving a smile that you may have been self-conscious about for a long time
• Giving you the ability to chew food naturally, meaning you don’t have to cut out any specific food types anymore
• The shape of your face as a whole will be maintained
• The teeth that you have remaining will be kept in place, rather than being allowed to drift into a gap left by missing teeth
