Crowns, Bridges & Veneers

If a tooth is weakened, damaged or heavily restored, a dental crown can help restore its shape, appearance and function. A dental bridge is a fixed restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth, while veneers can be used to change the shape, colour or appearance of suitable teeth.

At GreenTree Dental & Implant Clinic, we assess your teeth, gums and bite before recommending treatment. If an existing crown, bridge or veneer has become loose or has come away, we can also assess whether it can be recemented.

Crowns We Provide

A dental crown fits over the whole visible portion of a tooth. Depending on your circumstances and preferences, we offer:

• Porcelain-Bonded Crowns, combining a metal substructure with a porcelain covering
• All-Ceramic & Zirconia Crowns, for a metal-free, tooth-coloured option
• Gold Crowns, a well-established material valued for durability

Bridges We Provide

A bridge uses adjacent teeth or implants to support a replacement for one or more missing teeth. Our options include:

• Porcelain-Bonded Bridges, a traditional fixed bridge design
• Maryland & Rochette Bridges, which are bonded to neighbouring teeth with minimal preparation

Veneers We Provide

Veneers are thin layers bonded to the front of a tooth to change its appearance:

• Porcelain Veneers, offering a durable, stain-resistant finish
• Composite Veneers, a more conservative option built up directly on the tooth

Repairing an Existing Restoration

If a crown, bridge or veneer has become loose, chipped or detached, this does not always mean it needs replacing. We offer Crown Recementing, Bridge Recementing and Veneer Recementing to assess whether your existing restoration can be reattached and continue to function well.

What to Expect

Treatment generally involves an initial assessment, followed by preparation of the tooth where needed, taking impressions or scans, and fitting the finished restoration. Your dentist will talk you through material choices, likely appointment numbers and aftercare for your specific treatment.

Common Questions About Crowns, Bridges & Veneers

How Long Do Crowns, Bridges and Veneers Typically Last?

Longevity varies by material, how well they are cared for and individual circumstances. Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups help your dentist monitor the condition of any restoration over time.

Can a Loose Crown or Bridge Always Be Recemented?

Not always. Your dentist will need to assess the restoration and the tooth underneath to determine whether recementing is suitable or whether a replacement may be needed instead.

Are Veneers Suitable for Every Tooth?

Veneers are generally suited to teeth with enough healthy structure to support them. Your dentist will assess your teeth and bite before confirming whether veneers are an appropriate option for you.
