Crowns, inlays and bridges

With a bridge, you can replace a missing tooth or molar. The bridge 'bridges' the empty space where the tooth or molar is missing. A bridge can consist of multiple crowns attached to each other or a single cantilever crown that is attached to the adjacent teeth with so-called retention wings.

A crown is an artificial tooth or molar that is placed over your own tooth or molar. A crown can be made of different materials. Because a crown is custom-made, it looks natural and fits nicely with the rest of your teeth. An inlay or onlay is a piece of filling that is custom-made in a laboratory. We then place the inlay or onlay on the chewing surface of a molar. It is a durable solution for a larger cavity in a molar.

After preparing the tooth or molar to be treated, an impression is made from which the crown and/or facing is then manufactured by the dental technician.

The color of the crown or facing is determined in consultation with the client. After two to three weeks, the crown or facing will be ready and can be placed by us. In the meantime, we will assist you with a temporary, plastic solution.
