The Face Teeth Smile dental practice in Chalfont St Peter uses crowns and bridges to repair or replace teeth. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap, which fits neatly over the remains of a natural tooth with too little structure to be repaired with a filling. You might need a crown if you’ve lost a large filling, suffered a fracture or have a tooth that’s been weakened by root canal treatments.
Dental bridges replace a tooth or teeth that are missing altogether. A bridge commonly consists of a dental crown with a ceramic tooth attached to it. The crown is fixed to the tooth next to the space and the replacement tooth ‘bridges’ the gap. Alternatively, to avoid damaging a healthy adjacent tooth, we can use a resin-bonded bridge. This features a metal wing with a ceramic tooth attached to it. The wing is bonded to the back of the neighbouring tooth without any drilling. Bridges like this can be permanent solutions but are more often used temporarily before dental implants
At the Face Teeth Smile Chalfont St Peter clinic, we understand that having crowns and bridges represents a big step for our patients, so we make the treatment as easy as possible. We have an on-site dental lab where your bespoke crown or bridge is made, so we can offer a same-day procedure, however extensive your treatment.
On the day of the dental bridge or dental crown procedure, your teeth are prepared for the restoration and digitally scanned. While the lab gets to work on constructing your crown or bridge, you can relax in our luxurious chill-out lounge. When your crown or bridge is complete, you can try it out and approve it before it’s fitted. If adjustments are needed, we make them there and then. That means there are no multiple fittings, no temporaries and no long wait before your smile is transformed.
Before & After
Faqs
At Face Teeth Smile in Chalfont St Peter, we use high-strength white ceramic crowns made from Emax ceramic or zirconia. During your consultation, we’ll inform you of your options – including alternatives to dental crowns such as large white fillings or partial crowns called ‘onlays’.
As an alternative to a dental bridge, you could consider dentures or go for dental implants, which are the gold-standard treatment for replacing missing teeth. Visit Face Teeth Smile in Chalfont St Peter for a consultation to discuss your options.
At Face Teeth Smile, we recommend regular dental check-ups and hygienist visits to ensure your bridges and crowns stay healthy and oral hygiene is maintained. We want your dental treatment to look and feel perfect not just on day one, but for the long term. To achieve that, we create a bespoke maintenance plan for you.

I’ve just had my final appointment with Dr Raj after having Invisalign and composite bonding. I asked way too many questions but Dr Raj was always super quick with his replies and reassuring me, no question was ever too much. The final result of my teeth is incredible, after never smiling with my teeth, my teeth are always on show now. Dr Raj has given me so much confidence back and I can’t recommend him enough.

I highly recommend Raj to anyone looking to perfect their smile with Invisalign. Being extremely nervous and anxious when it comes to the dentist. Raj spoke me through the entire process and made me feel completely at ease helping me complete my journey. Thank you Raj - you have made such a difference in helping me overcome this and I LOVE my new smile! I can't thank you enough - Good Luck with your new journey opening your own practice!

This man has changed my life. Ever since I was young, I always hated my teeth. Dentists said that I would need surgery and braces for 2 years. As a teenager, the thought of wearing a brace never appealed to me. As the years went on and my teeth moved further, I decided to get it sorted. I went to various people to get quotes and was amazed at some prices given to me. However, Dr Raj treated a friend and was recommended. I decided to go and visit and get his opinion. The first thing I noticed was that Dr Raj was focused on the outcome. He was a perfectionist. Price came second. I decided to go for the invisalign, whitening and composite package and never looked back. If there were issues, he was there to sort. Dr Raj wasn't happy with one tooth moving millimeters, so decided to get more invisalign retainers made (free of charge unlike competitors). The whitening was easy and the bonding was a great experience as I witnessed a sculpture creating their masterpiece. I would recommend anyone who is contemplating sorting their teeth to see Dr Raj. I promise that you won't regret it. Thanks again Face Teeth Smile and I will be seeing you soon!
