Crowns & Bridges
Teeth can break for a variety of reasons, and not just from a traumatic blow or hard knock to the mouth. You can break or crack a tooth due to:
- Cavities and tooth decay
- Biting down on hard objects
- Weak dental fillings
- Teeth grinding and dental erosion
If you’re living with a broken tooth, we can help!
Dental Crowns at Lister House, Essex
Crowns and bridges are permanently fixed in the mouth by being cemented onto existing teeth or implants, and can only be removed by a dentist. If you’re in need of a dental crown in Harlow – or a replacement for an old restoration that is no longer fit for purpose, come and see the team at Lister House Dental.
Most crowns are made of either ceramic or a combination of ceramic and metal, depending on your preference and the advice of your Harlow dentist at Lister House Dental Centre. Getting a dental crown in Essex usually involves two appointments – one to prepare your tooth, which involves smoothing it into a shape that best accommodates the crown; and one to cement your custom restoration, made in a lab using your dental impressions, permanently in place.
Crowns are used to:
- Cap damaged teeth
- Restore a fractured tooth
- Maintain the size, shape and strength of a weakened tooth
- Protect a tooth after a root filling
- Improve the appearance of a tooth with a discoloured filling
- Securely hold a bridge or denture in place
- Cover a dental implant
”"When my front tooth fell out, the team at Lister House Dental provided me with an excellent temporary crown to save me from further embarrassment. I have since had it permanently replaced with a dental implant and couldn't be happier."

Dental Bridges in Essex
A dental bridge from your Essex dentist is a great way to fill the gaps in your smile. Custom-made in a dental lab, a bridge fills the gap with prosthetic teeth, secured at each end by crowns.
With a custom dental bridge from Lister House Dental Centre, you can fill the space where the teeth are missing and create a strong foundation that supports your jawbone and allows you to eat properly.
As with crowns, there is a choice of high-tech materials for creating your dental bridge. All can be matched to the shade of your natural teeth, and we can help you decide which is the most suitable for your individual case.
