Fibre Bridge
Sometimes the most sensitive way to fill a gap …… is to utilise fillings that already exist in adjacent teeth. These fillings are removed and matching ‘wings’ attached to the bridge …… which fit into the spaces.
 
Anterior Crown
The tooth is prepared …… and an impression taken. A crown is made from the impression …… and fitted to the tooth. Over time the gum can recede away from the crown … … this is known as the crown margin. The old crown can be removed …… and a new, deeper crown fitted to cover this area.
