Dental Crowns and Dental Bridges
Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made covers designed to restore the shape, strength, and appearance of a damaged or decayed tooth. At Richmond Centre Dental Clinic, we craft crowns from strong materials like porcelain, zirconia, and acrylic resin to ensure a natural-looking and durable restoration. Crowns completely cover the visible part of the tooth above the gumline, protecting it from further damage. The process usually involves preparing the tooth, taking impressions, fitting a temporary crown, and then permanently placing your custom crown. With proper care, dental crowns can last many years, helping you maintain a confident and healthy smile.
Bridges
Dental bridges are a permanent solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges help restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile naturally, while also preventing surrounding teeth from shifting out of place. Materials like porcelain or porcelain-fused-to-metal are often used for their durability and natural appearance. At Richmond Centre Dental Clinic, we offer several types of bridges, including traditional fixed bridges, resin-bonded bridges, implant-supported bridges, and cantilever bridges, tailored to your specific needs.
Same Day Crowns
Thanks to modern advancements in dental technology, Richmond Centre Dental Clinic now offers same day crowns with CEREC® technology. Traditional crowns typically require multiple visits and weeks of waiting, but with same day crowns, we can scan, design, craft, and place your permanent crown in just one appointment. Same day crowns are crafted from strong ceramic materials, providing both strength and aesthetics that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. This efficient, convenient option is ideal for patients seeking a faster solution without sacrificing quality.
