Crown and bridge work

A tooth can weaken due to wear, a large filling, a fracture, or a root canal treatment. Sometimes a tooth is even missing. In such situations, a crown or bridge can be a beautiful and durable solution to make the teeth strong, functional, and natural-looking again.

We look not only at restoring a tooth, but also at how it looks and feels. The goal is a result that suits your smile and that you can enjoy worry-free for years to come.

What is a crown?

A crown is a custom-made cap that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. With this, we restore the shape, function, and strength of the tooth.

A crown can be a solution, for example, when:

• a tooth is severely damaged or broken;
• a large filling offers insufficient support;
• a tooth needs extra protection after a root canal treatment;
• the shape or appearance of a tooth needs to be improved.

A well-made crown feels like a natural tooth and is matched to the color and shape of the rest of the teeth.

What is a bridge?

When one or more teeth are missing, a bridge can provide a solution. A bridge is attached to the adjacent teeth or implants and fills the open space.

This restores not only the appearance of the teeth, but also the chewing function and stability of the teeth.

Our own dental laboratory

What makes our practice special is that we have our own dental laboratory in Culemborg. As a result, the dentist and dental technician work closely together throughout the entire process.

That offers several advantages:

• short lines of communication;
• fast turnaround times;
• direct adjustments when necessary;
• optimal coordination of color, shape, and material;
• a natural and personal end result.

Because everything happens under one roof, we can work much more precisely than when crowns and bridges are produced externally.

A natural result

A crown or bridge must not only be strong but also look natural. That is why we pay close attention to details such as color, transparency, shape, and integration with the surrounding teeth.

Our goal is for your crown or bridge to blend beautifully with the rest of your teeth, so that it is hardly distinguishable from your own teeth.

Sustainable and comfortable

With proper oral care, crowns and bridges can last for years. During check-ups, we closely monitor the health of your teeth and the restoration so that you can enjoy them for as long as possible.

Many patients report that a well-fitting crown or bridge soon feels like their own tooth again.
