Crowns & Bridges

Restore your smile at Sarum Dental with Crown & Bridge treatments

Even if your mouth is healthy, you could still be unhappy with your smile, which leads to self-consciousness and a lack of confidence. With our skillfully placed crowns and bridges, at Sarum Dental in Salisbury, we can give you your smile back.

From creating bespoke bridges to fill gaps to crafting crowns that suit your exact specifications for shape and shade, we’re one of the best dentists in Salisbury for bespoke restorations.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Crowns and bridges are often used together to restore damaged or missing teeth.

A crown is a cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore shape, size, and strength. Most crowns are made of either ceramic or a combination of ceramic and metal, depending on your preference and the advice of your Salisbury dentist at Sarum Dental.

Crowns are used to:

  • Cap damaged teeth
  • Restore a fractured tooth
  • Maintain the size, shape and strength of a weakened tooth
  • Protect a tooth after a root filling
  • Improve the appearance of a tooth with a discoloured filling
  • Securely hold a bridge or denture in place
  • Cover a dental implant

”"I have traveled to this excellent practice from London for a post crown treatment and I am delighted with the result. The staff at reception are very friendly. Raj was very clear with what the treatment would entail, the experience was very smooth and the crown looks great. Highly recommended."

What is a Dental Bridge?

If you are missing one or more teeth, your dentist may recommend a dental bridge to fill the space. Gaps in your dentition can cause the remaining teeth to shift into the empty spaces, causing a bad bite, which may lead to gum disease or temporomandibular joint disorders further down the line.

Cemented to the natural teeth, or onto implants, the abutments act as anchors for the bridge, whilst the pontic (replacement tooth) attaches to the crowns covering the abutments.

As with crowns, there is a choice of high-tech materials that can be used to create your dental bridge. All can be matched to the shade of your natural teeth, and we can help you decide which is the most suitable for your individual case.

How Does Dental Crown & Bridge Treatment Work?

Getting a crown in Salisbury usually involves two appointments – one to prepare your tooth, which consists of smoothing it into a shape that best accommodates the crown, and one to cement your custom restoration, made in a lab using your dental impressions, permanently in place.

Replace Missing Teeth at Sarum Dental

Crown and bridge treatment is an excellent option for patients who have a combination of damaged and missing teeth. They can restore both the function and appearance of your smile, giving you the confidence to smile, speak, and eat easily.

“When my front tooth fell out, the team at Sarum provided me with an excellent temporary crown to save me from further embarrassment. I have since had it permanently replaced with a dental implant and couldn’t be happier”

“I had a great check up with Neal today, it had been a long time and he knows I am a nervous patient. I felt at ease straight away and he has given me a plan on my dental care going forward, easy to follow without being told off. I look forward to regular check ups going forward and the other staff were very helpful and happy. Thank you so much!”

“Our whole family switched to Sarum Dental Practice after the pandemic and have been very pleased with the professionalism and friendliness of everyone at the practice. I had a first ever extraction today and it was quick, pain-free and a total non-event due to how calmly and expertly Neal carried out the procedure.”

“Fantastic service from start to finish. I felt so well looked after by the expert team and had honestly given up hope for one of my teeth before I came here: good as new now!”

Charles McGrath

“Raj has been excellent in identifying problem teeth and working out treatment plans, and I'm more than happy with the fillings/crown that have been fitted. As a private patient I've been able to book appointments at very short notice which is a breath of fresh air after years of NHS dental care. Definitely worthy of five stars!”

“I changed NHS dentists and this one is, after one visit, MUCH better than the last. A really good service... I wrote that about 6 years ago...still a patient here and it retains my, now unswerving, loyalty. The best review I can give it is that when having treatment I have twice gone to sleep, it's fantastic here.”
