What Are Crowns and Bridges?
A dental crown covers and protects a weakened or broken tooth, restoring its structure and function. Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a row of artificial teeth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Patients often need crowns after fractures, root canals, or for teeth with large cavities. Bridges step in when there’s a space left by a missing tooth or two. Both options look and feel natural, blending with your smile while delivering the biting strength you need. Crowns and bridges are made with strong, tooth-coloured materials. With the right care, they’ll help you eat and smile with confidence again.
Who Needs a Dental Crown or Bridge?
Wondering if these treatments are right for you? Many patients are candidates for crowns or bridges if they have:
- Teeth broken by injury or decay
- A tooth that’s had a root canal
- Large cavities that can’t be filled
- Missing one or more teeth in a row
- Old fillings that have weakened
- Gaps that make chewing or speaking difficult
If any of these sound familiar, we’re here to talk through your options. Dr. Kanwal will help you decide what fits your lifestyle and long-term health. Sometimes a single crown is the fix, sometimes a bridge connects the dots. At our London office, you have a say every step of the way.
The Crowns & Bridges Process
When you walk into Belfield Family Dental, we make sure appointments are smooth and straightforward. We start with digital X-rays and a panoramic X-ray for full-mouth views. For precise fittings, your teeth are scanned with our 3D scanner—no sticky impressions here. Dr. Manish Kanwal plans your treatment with care, ensuring your crown or bridge fits comfortably and looks natural. Throughout the process, we explain each step and answer any questions you have.

Looking after your new crown or bridge is easier than you might think. Routine brushing, flossing, and thoughtful habits all help keep your restoration looking its best. We’ll check your crowns and bridges during every checkup at Belfield Family Dental, making sure everything fits and feels right. To help you get the most from your restoration:
- Brush with a soft-bristle toothbrush, twice a day
