Restoring smiles with precision and strength
Crowns and bridges are dental devices used to restore both functionality and aesthetics of damaged or missing teeth.
As the name suggests, a crown is a hollow sleeve placed over a weakened or decayed tooth, offering protection while enhancing its appearance. Bridges, which incorporate crowns, are used to plug gaps left by lost teeth. Both crowns and bridges provide long-lasting, natural-looking results that help preserve your bite, prevent teeth from shifting, and improve your smile.
Damaged or missing teeth can make a big dent in your confidence and cause embarrassment when you smile. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. At Cavendish Dental, we thrive on helping patients restore their smiles and their confidence with solutions tailored to meet their individual needs.
Our caring, experienced dentists provide beautiful natural-looking dental crowns and bridges crafted from various materials including porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), and ceramic all of which are practical, durable and long-lasting. Not only do we ensure our crowns and dental bridges function well but also that they blend seamlessly into your existing smile.
What to expect during the procedure
The process for dental crowns and bridges in Barrow-in-Furness is quite similar, although there might be slight variations in preparation. Our team will guide you through each step to ensure you’re well-informed throughout.
Here’s a general overview:
- Preparation: We begin by taking X-rays and digital impressions and preparing the affected area.
- Temporary fitting: While your permanent crown or bridge is being crafted, we fit a temporary one to protect and function temporarily.
- Crafting: Your permanent restoration is custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Permanent fitting: Once your crown or bridge is ready, we fit it, adjust your bite, and ensure everything is perfect before you leave with a revitalised smile.
Typically, the entire process involves 2 to 3 visits over a few weeks, resulting in a beautifully restored smile you can feel proud of.

FAQs
How do dental crowns and bridges work?
Both dental crowns and bridges in Barrow-in-Furness are used to restore a smile’s appearance but they work differently to achieve this. A crown fits over the top of an existing tooth that is weak or unsightly and provides an ideal solution when the tooth doesn’t need removing but you don’t like how it looks.
A dental bridge, on the other hand, is used to close gaps caused by the loss of one or more teeth. The bridge consists of one or more pontic teeth fused between two dental crowns and is secured by placing the two crowns over existing natural teeth at either end of the gap.
