Restore damaged teeth and replace missing teeth with expertly crafted dental crowns and bridges.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged, weakened or heavily filled tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength and appearance. Crowns are one of the most common restorative treatments in dentistry and can dramatically extend the life of a compromised tooth.
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the natural teeth either side of the gap. Bridges restore both the appearance and function of your smile, preventing the remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
At Fareham Road Surgery, all of our crowns and bridges are crafted by experienced UK dental laboratories using the highest quality materials. Your dentist will work closely with the laboratory to ensure a perfect fit, natural shade match and long-lasting result.
We offer a range of crown materials to suit your needs and budget.
Zirconia crowns are our most popular option, offering an excellent combination of strength and aesthetics. Made from a high-tech ceramic material, zirconia crowns are incredibly durable while providing a beautifully natural appearance. They are metal-free, making them ideal for patients with metal sensitivities.
Metal frame crowns (also known as porcelain-fused-to-metal or PFM crowns) combine a strong metal substructure with a porcelain outer layer. The metal framework provides excellent strength while the porcelain exterior is colour-matched to blend with your surrounding teeth.
Gold crowns have been used in dentistry for over a century and remain one of the most durable options available. Gold is exceptionally kind to the opposing teeth and provides an outstanding seal, minimising the risk of decay around the crown. They are particularly well-suited to back teeth.
A dental bridge literally bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by crowns cemented onto the teeth either side of the gap (abutment teeth).
Bridges are a fixed solution — unlike dentures, they are permanently cemented in place and do not need to be removed for cleaning. They feel and function much like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
The exact cost of your bridge will depend on the number of teeth being replaced, the type of bridge, and the materials used. Your dentist will provide a detailed treatment plan and cost estimate during your consultation.
