A crown or bridge is a fixed dental construction that restores or replaces damaged, weakened or missing teeth. At Tandartsenpraktijk Coolhaven, we work with high-quality materials that are both functionally and aesthetically excellent.
A crown is a 'cap' that is placed over a damaged tooth. It protects the tooth, restores its shape and function, and looks just like a natural tooth. We work with ceramic and zirconia.
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth and is supported by surrounding teeth or implants. A bridge is permanently fixed and cannot be removed.
The tooth is first prepared and an impression is taken. A laboratory creates the crown to measure. You wear a temporary crown for approximately 1-2 weeks, after which the definitive crown is cemented in place.
Ceramic crowns and bridges last an average of 10 to 15 years. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene significantly extend their lifespan.
