Dental Crowns and Bridges

Restoring strength, structure, and natural function

Dental crowns and bridges are restorative treatments used to repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones.

A dental crown is a porcelain restoration made by a ceramist or technician. A dental crown can be likened to a helmet protecting the tooth from fracturing. It is made bespoke to the tooth dimensions, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance.

A dental bridge can be thought of as 3 or more crowns joined together. Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighbouring teeth or implants, restoring continuity across your smile.

At Altura, crowns and bridges are designed with careful attention to fit, function, and aesthetics, ensuring they integrate naturally with your existing teeth.

When are crowns and bridges recommended?

These treatments are often recommended when teeth can no longer function reliably on their own.

A crown may be used when:

A tooth is heavily filled or weakened
A tooth has undergone root canal treatment
There is significant wear, fracture, or breakdown
Aesthetic improvement is required

A bridge may be used when:

One or more teeth are missing
Adjacent teeth are suitable for support
A fixed alternative to removable dentures is preferred

Each case is assessed individually to determine the most appropriate solution. In some cases when multiple crowns & bridges are required this turns into a functional smile rehabilitation

Benefits of crowns and bridges

Restores strength, durability and missing tooth structure.
Crowns protect compromised teeth, allowing them to function more reliably under everyday forces.

Improves appearance
Both crowns and bridges are designed to match the colour, shape, and contour of natural teeth.

Replaces missing teeth
Bridges restore gaps, helping maintain alignment and balance within the bite.

Supports long-term oral health
Replacing or protecting teeth can prevent further damage, shifting, or uneven wear.

Custom-designed for precision
Each restoration is individually crafted to fit your bite and smile.

A considered approach to restoration

Crowns and bridges are not just about repairing teeth, but about restoring balance, function, and confidence.

At Altura, each restoration is planned with precision and delivered with care, ensuring it feels natural, functions reliably, and integrates seamlessly into your smile.

What others are saying about us

This experience has been truly transformative. My dentist was exceptionally supportive, always available to address concerns, answer questions, make necessary adjustments, and provide reassurance that everything was progressing as expected. He ensured that my new teeth were perfectly suited for me.

Mazen Trabolsi
I travel 45 minutes to see these ladies, the surgery practice is absolutely beautiful, clean and cozy. Staff are so kind and welcoming. The fact I had a blanket and headphones to watch whatever I wanted on Netflix was a big bonus too. Last appointment I fell asleep, they are so gentle and caring I will never go anywhere else. Best dentist I’ve ever had and I had a few as a kid with braces

Courtney Knight
Everyone at SD dental are so lovely. You are always met with a smile at reception that makes your day. I had Christina whiten my teeth. She is very professional, and friendly. She makes sure your comfortable and does an amazing job.

Charlie Summers
I recently had major dental surgery at Altura Cleveland and can't praise, and thank, them enough for their amazing work, care and professionalism. Dr Shaiel, from the first meeting to the final fitting (about 8 visits over a few months) explained everything in layman's terms as to what each treatment would entail, the costs associated with each option and the best options for my final outcome, and the care and time taken to reach that goal was exceptional. I would highly recommend Dr Shaiel and his team.

Gary Napier
From my initial consultation through to the completion of my treatment I have been so thankful I chose to come to SD Dental Clinic Cleveland. Melissa is such an amazing Dentist. She’s a perfectionist and listens to every little detail. The team are so lovely, friendly and caring. I absolutely LOVE my finished results. Thank you all so much.
