Dental Crowns and Bridges
At Alba Dental Care in Braintree, we can assess damaged or missing teeth and discuss whether a crown or bridge is suitable for you.
Crowns and bridges explained
Dental crown
A crown is a custom-made cover fitted over a tooth. It can restore the shape and function of a tooth that has lost a lot of its structure.
Dental bridge
A bridge fills a gap with one or more replacement teeth. Your dentist will assess the gap, supporting teeth and bite before recommending a design.
What to expect
- Assessment of the tooth or gap, your bite and the surrounding teeth
- Discussion of suitable materials, alternatives and a written estimate
- Preparation and an impression or scan where needed
- Fitting, bite checks and advice on keeping the area clean

Crowns and Bridges FAQ
1. What if I’m missing a tooth?
Your dentist can explain whether a bridge, denture or implant is suitable for your mouth.
