Dental Crowns & Bridges in Dumfries
Restore Broken & Missing Teeth With Crown and Bridges
- If you have missing or damaged teeth, dental crowns and bridges may be the solution you need to restore your smile's function and beauty. We offer a range of restorative dental treatments, including crowns and bridges, to help you achieve optimal oral health and a confident smile.
What are dental crowns and bridges?
Dental crowns and bridges are restorative dental treatments used to replace or repair damaged or missing teeth.
Crowns are typically used to cover a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength and appearance.
Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth, by attaching artificial teeth to the remaining healthy teeth on either side of the gap.
How do dental crowns and bridges work?
We offer custom-made dental crowns and bridges to repair and restore damaged or missing teeth. Crowns are carefully crafted to fit over weakened or damaged teeth, providing protection against further damage while restoring both the tooth’s functionality and appearance. Bridges, on the other hand, are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, anchored securely to the remaining healthy teeth on either side of the gap

Missing Teeth Solutions: Dental Bridges vs Implants
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, patients have two popular options: dental bridges and dental implants. A dental bridge involves using a false tooth (or teeth) to fill in a gap, and anchoring it to the adjacent healthy teeth. On the other hand, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, and they fuse with the surrounding bone to create a stable foundation for an artificial tooth.
Both options have their unique advantages, and the right choice for you will depend on factors such as the number of missing teeth, the condition of surrounding teeth, and your budget. If you’re looking for a Private dentist in Dumfries, dental bridges are generally less expensive and require less time for completion, while dental implants offer a longer lifespan and can prevent bone loss in the jaw.
