Dental Crowns and Bridges
Are you noticing your teeth chipping or breaking more often these days? For teeth like these, reinforcing them with strong, well-designed dental crowns and bridges can help them last for many years to come.
A dental crown or bridge allows your teeth to go the distance
Do you avoid chewing on certain teeth because they feel weak? Teeth with large fillings are often fragile. Over time, the filling material can wear down, or the remaining tooth can start cracking away.
Think of it like renovating a house. You can patch a crack, but if the structure is weak underneath, it needs real reinforcing. It’s the same with teeth. Large fillings are only a patch-up job. Dental crowns or dental bridges add strength and stability so you can keep enjoying your favourite foods without worry.
Ceramic crowns are specially designed to support your natural tooth structure and protect it for the long term. If you’re exploring options to repair or rebuild your teeth, we can talk you through a full range of restorative dentistry options to keep your mouth healthy for years to come.

Not every royal gets a crown
Every mouth is different. Every tooth has its own story. Maybe you’ve had heavy fillings for decades. Or maybe you grind or clench your teeth, causing cracks even in untouched teeth.
At Gisborne Family Dental, we look at the big picture. We’ll examine your teeth carefully, talk with you about any risks, and help you decide what’s best. If a tooth has deeper damage, a root canal treatment might be needed before we fit a crown.
Dental crowns are proven to protect natural teeth, keep your bite strong and maintain your smile’s appearance over the long term. Compared to simple fillings, crowns are much more durable and help stop ongoing damage. If a tooth can’t be saved, we’ll explain your options like dental implants to restore your bite and your confidence.
Think of a crown as a smart tool in your long-term dental care plan. Imagine chewing a steak again without pain or worrying about breaking a weak tooth on a long weekend.
Are you bothered by your discoloured filled teeth?
Old fillings can discolour over time, leaving teeth looking grey, brown or yellow. The bigger the filling, the more obvious it can be, and that can knock your confidence.
A ceramic crown does more than strengthen a tooth. It restores your tooth’s natural look too. Today’s dental ceramics are strong, natural-looking and come in shades to match your smile beautifully.
If you’re after purely cosmetic improvements to healthy teeth, dental veneers can be a great option for a brighter, more even smile.
Filling the gap with a tooth bridge
A dental bridge does exactly what it says. It bridges a gap where a tooth is missing. In some cases, we can use a ceramic bridge to replace a missing tooth by placing crowns on the teeth next to the gap. This can be a “two birds, one stone” solution when neighbouring teeth also need strengthening because of old fillings or cracks.
