Crowns & Bridges
Restore Strength, Function & Confidence
A damaged or missing tooth can change the way you chew, speak, and smile. At Toothworx Dentistry, we help restore strength, function, and confidence through crowns and bridges in Fourways and Soweto. These treatments are designed to look natural and feel comfortable, allowing you to enjoy the everyday things that matter, from eating your favourite food to smiling without hesitation.
What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
Crowns and bridges are restorative treatments that replace or strengthen teeth that have been damaged or lost. They work together to protect your smile’s structure and maintain balance within your mouth.
- Crowns: A tooth-shaped covering placed over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring strength, shape, and appearance.
- Bridges: A restoration that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth, anchored to neighbouring teeth or crowns.
Both options are custom-made to fit comfortably and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
When Might I Need a Crown?
- A tooth has a large cavity that cannot be filled.
- You have a cracked or worn-down tooth.
- A root canal has left the tooth fragile.
- You want to restore the shape or colour of a tooth.
When Might I Need a Bridge?
A bridge is suitable when you have one or more missing teeth and want to permanently close the gap.
- A tooth has been lost due to decay or trauma.
- You have gaps that affect chewing or speaking.
- You want to prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting.
What Happens During the Procedure?
- Examination & preparation: Your dentist assesses your teeth and prepares the area.
- Impressions or scans: Used to create your custom crown or bridge.
- Temporary placement: A temporary crown or bridge may be fitted.
- Final fitting: The permanent restoration is placed and adjusted for comfort.
How Can I Care for Crowns and Bridges?
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss gently around the restoration.
- Use interdental brushes or threaders under the bridge.
- Avoid biting hard items like ice or pens.
- Attend regular dental check-ups.
