Crowns and Bridges
If a tooth is missing, replacement is advisable to preserve chewing function and prevent further changes in the bite. Crowns or bridges replace one or more teeth – the bridge is supported by the neighboring teeth.
Ceramic-veneered or all-ceramic bridges provide especially natural-looking, aesthetic dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do you need a crown instead of a filling?
A crown usually becomes necessary when too much tooth structure is missing to restore it stably with a filling. It encloses the entire visible tooth and thereby restores chewing function.
Is a dental bridge better than an implant?
Both solutions have their merits: a bridge relies on the neighbouring teeth, which need to be ground down for this purpose, while an implant is placed independently in the jawbone. We discuss individually which restoration makes sense for you.
How long does a dental crown last?
With good care and regular check-ups, a crown can last many years to decades. Durability depends, among other things, on the material and daily oral hygiene.
