Crowns and bridges
Crowns and bridges: durable restoration of your teeth
A crown is a durable dental restoration that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. This is done when a tooth has sustained too much damage due to, for example:
- Tooth decay
- A large filling
- A fracture
A crown protects the tooth, restores its shape and function, and ensures that the tooth looks natural. Crowns are often made of ceramic or porcelain, sometimes combined with metal for extra strength.
The process of placing a crown involves multiple steps:
- The tooth is ground down to make room for the crown.
- An impression is made of the prepared tooth.
- The crown is produced in a dental laboratory.
- The crown is permanently placed and secured with a special adhesive.
What is a bridge and when is it needed?
A bridge is a fixed dental replacement that replaces one or more missing teeth. The bridge consists of two crowns on the adjacent teeth, with an artificial tooth in between that fills the empty space. In this way, both the function and the appearance of your teeth are restored.
A bridge is often necessary to improve chewing, prevent speech problems, or prevent other teeth from shifting. It can also be placed for aesthetic reasons, for example, to be able to laugh fully again.
At De Mond van Leiden, we place both crowns and bridges. With professional care and high-quality materials, we ensure that your teeth look healthy and beautiful again. Whether it involves a single tooth or a major treatment – you are in good hands with us.
