A dental crown repairs a broken or damaged tooth, while a bridge replaces missing teeth.

Crowns and Bridges

When teeth become damaged, weakened or lost entirely, crowns and bridges offer reliable, long-lasting solutions that restore both function and appearance. At Artisan Prosthodontics, Dr Chong specialises in creating custom-designed restorations that not only look natural but also protect your oral health and restore your ability to eat, speak and smile.

As a specialist prosthodontist, Dr Chong has advanced training in the precise art and science of dental restorations. This expertise ensures that he meticulously crafts every crown and bridge to fit perfectly, function properly and integrate seamlessly with your natural teeth.

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-designed “cap” that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth's shape, strength, and appearance while providing crucial protection against further damage or decay.

Dr Chong may recommend crowns for teeth that are severely worn, cracked, broken, weakened by large fillings or have undergone root canal treatment. They're also used to anchor dental bridges and cover dental implants.

The Benefits of Dental Crowns

Dental crowns offer numerous functional and protective advantages.

Tooth Protection

They protect vulnerable teeth from further damage, prevent cracks from spreading and tooth structure from breaking down.

Long Lasting Durability

High quality and well fitting crowns can last 15 years or more with proper care, making them a sound investment in your oral health.

Prevent Tooth Loss

By strengthening compromised teeth, crowns help you keep your natural teeth rather than requiring extraction.

Restore Function

Crowns rebuild damaged teeth so you can bite and chew comfortably without pain or sensitivity.

Improve Bite Alignment

Properly designed crowns restore correct tooth height and shape, ensuring your bite functions as it should.

Natural Appearance

Modern ceramic crowns are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of prosthetic teeth supported by crowns on adjacent teeth. This fixed restoration permanently replaces missing teeth, restoring your ability to chew properly and preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting out of position.

Bridges are an excellent option when dental implants are not suitable or when you prefer a non-surgical approach to tooth replacement.

Our Personalised Approach

At Artisan Prosthodontics, you will never receive a "one size fits all" solution. Dr Chong takes the time to thoroughly examine your teeth, discuss your concerns and explain all available options. He will only recommend treatments that genuinely address your needs, ensuring you understand both the functional benefits and what to expect from the process.

He custom designs every crown and bridge using high quality materials and precise techniques to ensure optimal fit, function and longevity. Dr Chong works closely with skilled dental ceramists to create restorations that match the colour, shape and translucency of your natural teeth.

Whether you need a single crown to save a damaged tooth or a bridge to replace missing teeth, Artisan Prosthodontics delivers exceptional results grounded in clinical excellence and honest care.
