Crown & Bridgework
If a tooth is severely damaged and can no longer be restored with a filling, or if you want to replace one or more missing teeth.
If a tooth is severely damaged and can no longer be restored with a filling, or if you want to replace one or more missing teeth.
We create a custom-made crown or bridge that perfectly matches your teeth, both functionally and aesthetically. We do this using (digital) impressions and techniques.
A crown is a custom-made cap that is placed over a weakened or damaged tooth.
The crown is designed to match the color and shape of the rest of your teeth. If a tooth is missing, a crown can also be placed on an implant.
A bridge is used when one or more teeth are missing.
A bridge consists of several crowns that fill an empty space in the teeth and is attached to natural teeth. In some cases, a bridge can also be placed on implants.
The treatment usually consists of one or more appointments.
During the first appointment, the dentist will assess your teeth, determine the color together with you, and take an impression or digital scan. The crown or bridge is then custom-made by the dental technician and permanently placed by the dentist at a follow-up appointment.
Crowns and bridges are made of durable and biocompatible materials, such as ceramic or zirconium. These materials ensure a strong and natural appearance.
The costs of crown and bridge work depend on the type of restoration and the materials used. The rates are set nationally.
Crowns and bridges are not covered by basic insurance. With supplementary dental insurance, the costs are sometimes (partially) reimbursed.

No, the tooth is anesthetized and the crown or bridge is carefully fitted.
A bridge rests on adjacent teeth, while an implant has an artificial root in the jaw.
Porcelain crowns do not discolor, but a composite crown may discolor slightly over time.
