Dental Crowns & Bridges in Malvern
Restoring Strength, Function, and Beauty to Your Smile
When a tooth is heavily damaged, weakened, or missing entirely, it impacts more than just your appearance—it affects how you eat, speak, and bite. At Malvern Family Dental, we use high-quality crowns and bridges to rebuild your smile, ensuring it stays strong and healthy for years to come.
Dental Crowns: The Ultimate Protection
A dental crown (often called a “cap”) is a custom-fitted restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. It acts as a protective shield, reinforcing a tooth that is too damaged to be fixed with a standard filling.
When is a Crown Necessary?
After a Root Canal
To protect the now-brittle tooth from fracturing.
Large Fillings
When there isn’t enough natural tooth structure left to support a filling.
Fractured or Cracked Teeth
To hold the tooth together and prevent further breakage.
Severe Discolouration
To improve the aesthetic appearance of a tooth that cannot be whitened.
Dental Bridges: Closing the Gap
If you are missing one or more teeth in a row, a dental bridge is a time-tested solution to “bridge” the gap. It consists of an artificial tooth (pontic) held in place by dental crowns attached to the healthy teeth on either side of the space.
Why Replace Missing Teeth?
- Prevent Shifting: Gaps cause neighboring teeth to tilt or drift, leading to bite misalignment.
- Maintain Facial Shape: Missing teeth can cause the face to look sunken over time.
- Restore Chewing Ability: Distribute the force of your bite evenly across your mouth.
