Crowns & Bridges

• Q.1. How long does a crown or bridge last?

  On average, a well maintained dental crown or bridge lasts over 10 years if accompanied with oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups.
• Q.2. What material is used for dental crowns or bridges?

  The Smile Spa offers various metal free options, including all-ceramic or porcelain crowns and bridges, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns and bridges, and zirconia crowns and bridges. This decision is best up to your dentist who will know what can work most effectively for your teeth.
• Q.3. When is a crown required?

  A crown is commonly required after a tooth has undergone root canal treatment, to act as supports for a bridge, or if a tooth is badly decayed and cannot be restored with a filling.
• Q.4. How do I clean under my dental bridge?

  It is important to maintain oral hygiene even if you have a crown or dental bridge. You can use dental floss to clean under the dental bridge.
• Q.5. Is it noticeable if I have a dental crown or bridge?

  The Smile Spa offers custom-made high quality crowns and bridges which restore the natural colour and contour of the teeth; making them aesthetically appealing.
