Crowns & Bridges

Crowns and bridges are fundamental restorations in prosthodontic care, rebuilding damaged teeth and replacing missing ones with natural-looking ceramic prosthetics. At Christchurch Prosthodontics, we combine digital technology with master ceramist craftsmanship to deliver restorations of exceptional quality.

Specialist Crown Work

A crown (or cap) is a custom-made restoration that covers a damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised tooth. As prosthodontists, we specialise in creating crowns that are not only strong and durable but also indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

We use advanced digital impression technology to capture precise 3D models of your teeth, replacing traditional putty impressions. This digital workflow allows us to design restorations with microscopic accuracy and communicate directly with our ceramist laboratory.

Bridge Solutions

Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants. We offer traditional fixed bridges, cantilever bridges, and implant-supported bridges, selecting the approach best suited to your clinical situation.

Each bridge is custom-designed to restore proper bite alignment, chewing function, and aesthetic harmony. Our specialist training ensures that the forces on your bridge are properly distributed to protect both the restoration and the supporting teeth.

Materials and Craftsmanship

We work with premium ceramic materials including zirconia, lithium disilicate (e.max), and layered porcelain. Each material has specific strengths that make it ideal for different clinical situations. We select the optimal material based on the location, functional demands, and aesthetic requirements of your restoration.
