Rebuild your teeth with our restorative services
What are dental crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays?
These are advanced restorative treatments used to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth:
- Crowns are custom-made caps placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, function and appearance.
- Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to neighbouring natural teeth or implants.
- Inlays are precision-made restorations that fit within the grooves of a tooth — ideal for treating moderate decay or damage.
- Onlays are similar to inlays but extend over one or more cusps of the tooth, offering broader coverage for more substantial damage.
All of these restorations are crafted from durable, tooth-coloured materials to ensure both strength and a seamless, natural-looking finish.

Dental restoration: what to expect from your treatment?
- Initial consultation with dentist
Your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss the most suitable solution for your needs. As part of our comprehensive approach to dentistry, we’ll consider function, aesthetics and long-term oral health. - Tooth preparation
Any decay or old restoration is removed and the tooth is shaped to accommodate the crown, bridge or onlays and inlays — depending on the extent of damage. - Digital or traditional impressions
We take a precise impression and send it to our trusted dental laboratory, where your custom-made restoration is carefully crafted. - Temporary protection
A temporary crown or bridge is fitted to protect the prepared tooth while your final restoration is being created. In the case of onlays, this step ensures comfort and function are maintained until your permanent onlay covers the treated area. - Final fitting
Your permanent crown, bridge, inlay or onlay is carefully placed and adjusted for a secure, comfortable fit and natural appearance — restoring your bite and your smile.

Dental crown treatment: frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between an inlay and a standard filling?
Inlays and onlays are made in a dental lab for a more precise fit and longer-lasting result than traditional fillings. They are ideal for larger or more complex restorations.
Do crowns and bridges look natural?
Yes. Modern dental materials allow us to create highly aesthetic restorations that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Am I a good candidate for a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is ideal if you’re missing one or more teeth and have healthy adjacent teeth or implants to support it. Your dentist will assess your oral health to determine the most suitable option.
What is the difference between porcelain and ceramic restorations?
Both materials are tooth-coloured and durable, but porcelain is often chosen for its superior translucency and strength in areas where aesthetics matter most.
Can a dental implant be combined with two crowns or a bridge?
Yes — in some cases, a single dental implant can support two crowns or be part of a bridge, especially when replacing multiple missing teeth in one area.
When are inlay or onlay recommended instead of a root canal or filling?
Inlays and onlays are ideal when a cavity is too large for a standard filling but the tooth doesn’t yet require a root canal — they provide strength while preserving healthy tooth structure.
