At Sherwood Smiles, we restore the strength, function and natural appearance of your smile with high-quality dental crowns and bridges. These custom restorations are used to repair damaged teeth or replace missing teeth, helping you chew comfortably and smile with confidence. Each crown or bridge is carefully designed to match the shape and colour of your natural teeth for a seamless, long-lasting result.
Dental crowns are commonly recommended to protect teeth weakened by cracks, large fillings or root canal treatment, while bridges provide a fixed solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. Using modern materials and precise techniques, our experienced team ensures your restoration fits comfortably and looks natural, supporting your long-term oral health.
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fully covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth.

Bridges are ideal for:
Consultation and Assessment
Your visit begins with a thorough examination to assess your teeth and overall oral health. We take digital X-rays and discuss whether a crown or bridge is the most suitable option for restoring strength, function and appearance.
Tooth Preparation
For a crown, the tooth is carefully reshaped to allow space for the restoration. For a bridge, the supporting teeth are prepared so the bridge can be securely anchored.
Digital Scan
A precise 3D digital scan of your teeth is taken to design a custom-fit crown or bridge. This comfortable, impression-free process ensures accuracy and a natural result.
Temporary Restoration
A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect your teeth and maintain function while your final restoration is crafted.
Fitting and Placement
Once ready, your custom crown or bridge is carefully fitted and bonded in place. We check your bite and make any adjustments needed for comfort and function.
Final Polish
The restoration is polished and refined so it blends smoothly with your natural teeth, completing your treatment.
You may benefit from a dental crown or bridge if you:
With good care, crowns and bridges can last many years:
Daily Cleaning: Brush twice daily and clean around your crown or bridge using floss or interdental brushes to remove plaque along the gumline.
Fluoride Protection: Use fluoride toothpaste to help protect the surrounding natural teeth from decay.
Food Awareness: Avoid biting very hard foods (such as ice or hard lollies) and minimise sticky foods that may place stress on the restoration.

A dental crown covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape and strength. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighbouring teeth or implants, filling the gap and restoring function.
You may need a crown if a tooth is cracked, heavily filled or has had root canal treatment. A bridge may be recommended if you have one or more missing teeth and want a fixed alternative to dentures. Your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss the most suitable option.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, crowns and bridges can last many years. Brushing twice daily, cleaning between teeth and attending routine check-ups helps maintain the surrounding teeth and gums that support the restoration.
Treatment is performed with local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. A temporary restoration protects the tooth while your final crown or bridge is made.
