A crown is a cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth. A bridge uses crowns to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring onto the teeth on either side. Both restore function and appearance.
Material options
- Zirconia (metal-free) — strong, tooth-coloured, ideal for back teeth and grinders.
- All-ceramic / porcelain — the most natural look for front teeth.
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) — strong and economical.
- Full metal — maximum durability with minimal tooth removal.
Common questions
How long do they last? Typically 10–15 years, and often longer for zirconia with good care.
Which material is best? It depends on the tooth’s position and your bite — we’ll recommend the right one for you.
Metal allergy? Metal-free zirconia and porcelain remove that concern entirely.
