Advantages of using Crowns & Bridges
Crowns and bridges provide durable solutions for restoring damaged or missing teeth, ensuring both functionality and appearance are maintained. These treatments offer long-lasting results that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

What Should You Expect After Treatment?
After receiving crowns or bridges, it’s normal to experience a brief period of adjustment. Here are a few key points to keep in mind as you recover and get used to your new dental restorations:
- Post-Treatment Sensitivity: Mild sensitivity to temperature or pressure may occur but usually resolves within a few days.
- Recovery Time: Recovery is minimal, and you can typically resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
- Follow-Up: You may need a follow-up visit to make final adjustments, ensuring the crown or bridge fits perfectly and functions optimally.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are used to restore the strength and appearance of damaged teeth. Whether due to decay, injury, or wear, a crown can protect and strengthen a tooth while improving its appearance. We offer a range of crown materials, including porcelain and zirconia, to suit your specific needs.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is an effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. This prosthetic device is anchored to the adjacent teeth or dental implants, filling the gap and restoring your smile. At Happy Teeth Dental and Implant Centre, we customize dental bridges to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance.
The Procedure for Crowns and Bridges
The process of getting a crown or bridge involves several steps to ensure the perfect fit and function. Here’s an overview of what to expect:
- Preparation: The tooth is carefully shaped to make room for the crown.
- Impressions: Detailed impressions of your tooth are taken to create a custom-made crown or bridge.
- Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being made.
- Fitting: The permanent crown or bridge is then placed, adjusted for a proper fit, and securely bonded.
This step-by-step approach ensures a long-lasting and comfortable restoration tailored to your unique needs.
