Crowns

A crown is an artificial cap which fits over a damaged tooth to restore its natural appearance and function. It may be used to repair teeth or improve their appearance where ordinary filling materials will be insufficient.

Crowns offer good aesthetics, correcting crooked or misshapen teeth as well as replacing large and unsightly fillings. Aesthetic metal-free and gold crowns are available at The Bristol Dental Practice and treatment only involves two visits.

A crown costs from £845 per tooth depending on the materials chosen.

The following are all ways of replacing missing teeth, each with their different benefits. It would be necessary to discuss with one of our dentists the most appropriate treatment to suit your own individual requirements.

Dentures are cost effective false teeth that cover gaps of any size all the way up to what are known as full dentures, when all the teeth in the upper and lower jaws are replaced.

They can be either fixed or removable, and modern technology means that the traditional problem of movement, when a denture comes loose in the mouth, causing discomfort and embarrassment, has been greatly reduced. Prices are quoted on a case by case basis.

Conventional bridges involve crowns being placed on teeth either side of a gap, in order to support one or more artificial teeth. Bridges cost from £845 per tooth.

These have wings that stick to the adjacent teeth to hold the artificial tooth in place. They require less tooth preparation than a conventional bridge, but are not suitable in all areas of the mouth. Prices range from £845 per tooth.

We’re always happy to receive referrals for any of our dental services, we treat routine to very complex cases and we also help extremely nervous patients who require sedation in order to access dental treatment.
