Crowns and Bridges in Preston


But They Look So Real!
As dentists, we always do our best to help you care for your smile. Sadly, teeth can become damaged or lost completely through injury or illness. We know exactly how devastating this is and how it impacts your confidence, health, ability to enjoy food, and smile’s aesthetic.
Fortunately, we can seamlessly repair or replace damaged or missing teeth with lifelike crowns and bridges.
Dental crowns are caps that complete and protect damaged teeth, while bridges are complete replacement teeth often supported by crowns placed on neighbouring teeth.
Every crown and bridge at XO is custom-made and placed with precision and finesse, ensuring a smile you’ll love.

You Wear the Crown
Crowns are porcelain, resin, or metal caps that we recommend if your teeth are badly damaged through injury or decay, need protection after a root canal treatment, or need to be completely replaced with the support of an implant or dental bridge.
Metal crowns offer the highest level of durability and are ideal for repairing less visible molars at the back of your mouth. For a more realistic look, we can use resin, while porcelain is robust and matches the natural appearance of your other teeth.
Our skilled technicians tailor each crown using precision scans of your smile. Every detail is considered so you get a flawless smile.
The Benefits of Crowns at XO

How We Place Crowns
The exact procedure for placing your crown will depend on whether it’s repairing a damaged tooth or used as part of a bridge or implant.
We’ll invite you for a consultation to assess your smile, discuss the process, and answer your questions. Next, we’ll create your bespoke crown based on precision measurements taken from dental scans.
We may need to treat any infections before placing a tooth onto a damaged tooth. Once the lab has made your crown, we’ll bond it firmly in position.
The Bridge to a Healthier Smile
Losing one or more teeth can leave you embarrassed about showing off your smile, worried about what you can and can’t eat, and at risk of further dental complications.


Gaps in smiles are often difficult to clean, making them perfect spots for bacteria to take hold. In addition to the increased risk of gum disease and decay, adjacent teeth can gradually slip along the jawline towards the gap, creating spaces further along your smile.
A bridge helps restore the appearance of your smile and the function of your teeth while bringing order to wandering neighbouring teeth.
Dental bridges consist of natural-looking ‘pontics’ —replacement teeth supported by crowns or hidden wings bonded to your healthy adjacent teeth.


There are several types of bridges, including:
- Traditional fixed bridges: Here, the pontic is supported on either side by crowns.
- Cantilever bridges: These are used when only one healthy adjacent tooth is available.
- Maryland bridges: Instead of crowns, these bridges use metal wings bonded to the backs of neighbouring teeth.
- Implant-retained bridges: These bridges use titanium implants for enhanced stability.

Rebuilding Your Smile With Dental Bridges
Repairing your smile with a dental bridge begins with a simple consultation. Here, we’ll see which type of bridge best suits your needs, assess your smile and take digital scans, discuss the procedure, and answer your questions.
Because every bridge is custom-made, we’ll invite you to return for the placement procedure once the technicians have skillfully crafted it.
If you need a crown-supported bridge, we’ll prepare the adjacent teeth. This means removing a small portion of the enamel to make way for the crown. Once prepared, the crown and pontics are bonded into position.
Maryland bridges require less preparation. Once your bridge is ready, we’ll bond it using composite resin on the backs of the supporting teeth.
