At Pearl Dental in Dublin, our team is highly experienced at fitting crowns, bridges, and veneers. These are made of ceramic (glass) material that is bonded to your teeth to improve the shape, colour or length of a tooth, or to replace missing teeth. They are also used to strengthen damaged teeth.
Crowns offer a neat, natural-coloured cover-up. Sometimes known as ‘caps’, they fit completely over a whole tooth, concealing defects caused by chips, decay, discolouration or large fillings. If you’re looking for crowns in Dublin, please contact our team and we’ll get you booked in for a consultation.
Step 1 – Your dentist will remove a thin layer of your tooth, making sure they leave a strong core. The amount of tooth removed depends on the thickness of the crown, which can differ depending on the material used to make it.
Step 2 – Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth and record their colour so the crown can be made to fit perfectly.
Step 3 – Between appointments, your dentist will protect the prepared tooth with a temporary crown.
Step 4 – Once your crown is ready, the temporary crown is removed and the permanent one fixed in place with strong dental cement.
Dental bridges are a type of dental appliance used for replacing one or more missing teeth, restoring your smile and the function of your teeth. A fixed bridge is attached to neighbouring teeth, and prosthetic teeth fill the gap for an aesthetically pleasing look. If you’re looking for bridges in Dublin, please contact our team and we’ll get you booked in for a consultation.
Step 1 – The abutment teeth are prepared by removing a layer of enamel to ensure there will be sufficient space for the bridge.
Step 2 – Impressions are taken so the bridge can be tailor-made to fit.
Step 3 – While the bridge is being made, a temporary bridge may be put in place to protect the exposed teeth.
Step 4 – When ready, the bridge is checked and adjusted to make sure it fits perfectly, and is finally fixed in place with strong dental cement.
Veneers can completely transform your smile, not only improving the appearance of your teeth, but also giving a brighter and more even smile. Dental veneers are often used to treat broken or chipped teeth, spaces between teeth, or severe discolouration that cannot be fixed with whitening. If you’re looking for veneers in Dublin, please contact our team and we’ll get you booked in for a consultation.
Step 1 – The treatment for dental veneers may not require anaesthesia. Your dentist will begin by preparing any teeth that require adjustment before the impression stage.
Step 2 -Impressions of the teeth will be taken in order to custom make the veneers in the lab.
Step – 3 During your next visit, your dentist will check the shape and appearance of the new veneers before bonding them into place over your existing teeth.
Step 4 – Finishing and polishing may be required to complete the treatment.
