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.

  • Altura is worth checking out for your dental needs. I came across their well-reviewed and recommended ad and decided to investigate. Dr Bryan is lovely and will work with you individually on achieving the results you’re after and genuinely wants success for you and your smile. Receptionists are friendly and make you feel very welcome too. At the start of my journey but I have been so happy with their service so far.

  • I have just completed first stage of an implant, having my tooth extracted. Dr Namm was excellent and explained the whole process to me. There was absolutely no pain involved in extracting the tooth. It was just so good...I was really impressed as I have had extensive dental work in the past and it has always been extremely painful. The after-care is second to none. I honestly can't recommend Altura Dental highly enough.

  • 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

  • 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.

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.
