Discover how crowns and bridges can repair your smile
Improve comfort and confidence
With crowns and bridges, you can eat, speak, and smile comfortably again. Many patients tell us their daily quality of life improves when damaged or missing teeth are restored.
Strengthen and protect teeth
Crowns act like a cap, protecting weak or damaged teeth and restoring their strength. They are often used when a tooth has suffered severe decay, has broken down after years of grinding, or needs support after root canal treatment.
Replace missing teeth permanently
Bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth, restoring your bite and preventing other teeth from shifting out of position. This helps keep your bite balanced and protects your long-term oral health.
Natural-looking results
Made from porcelain, resin, or ceramics, crowns and bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Most people will never notice you have had restorative treatment.

I just had my first visit to McEvoy Dental. I saw Dr. Ricardo who was extremely friendly and professional. He did a thorough examination and advised me about my next course of treatment. I am usually a bit nervous...

Excellent experience, I highly recommend. I went in to fix a really nasty fracture on my upper left front tooth. It wasn't the first time that has happened to me because my bite is a little wonky and it makes my teeth brittle. I was really embarrassed of my appearance, but I was greeted with a lovely smile and everyone at the clinic was so kind. I felt at ease. Dr. Renan especially as he explained all my options to me so I could make the most informed decision. He even went out of his way to fix my bite to prevent the tooth from fracturing again. The tooth looks beautiful now and I feel confident again. 10/10

Continue the great work. Ps. The one4allvoucher was the icing on the cake!!! Thank u :)
Wonderful experience and very warm and friendly staff. Outstanding professionals. Highly recommended!
Would 100% recommend Shane in kildare dental centre. Not only is he professional, he put me at ease in an instant as someone who’s very nervous I didn’t feel that way at all with him. He was happy to repeat and re-explain everything. The waiting room had really calming music which helped my nerves, it’s was very bright and welcoming. The staff at the desk were really friendly and helpful ! Would happily recommend !!
I decided to give Balbriggan Dental a try after putting it off for some time after hearing the good reviews, and they lived up to them. The dentist is absolutely lovely and really put my mind at ease, superb job! I'd recommend this place to anyone.
From the moment I stepped into Pearl Dental Clinic I felt welcomed and at ease. Really lovely, professional staff, from the receptionist to the dental nurses to the actual dentist. I'd happily go back again.
Just completed Invisalign treatment and would like to give Gosih a special mention, she was absolutely fantastic, kind and always friendly and most importantly answered all our questions and concerns and always gave us plenty of time to discuss any queries. She was truly fantastic and the one constant we could rely on at every visit. Thanks Gosih
Moved to this dental practice after a few recommendations. I had a fantastic experience from the moment I changed to this dental practice. The receptionist was very welcoming and had already obtained my prior Dental records. I have attended a few times now from check ups to consultation for future work. All very professional while maintaining a personable and friendly demeanour. The pricing is very fair and good value for money with the work completed. I would highly recommend.Thanks again to the whole practice. 🦷 😁
Everything you need to know about crowns and bridges in Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare
What are crowns?
A crown is like a protective cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It’s often used when a tooth is too broken for a filling to repair, or when a root canal treatment has left the tooth more fragile. Crowns can also rebuild teeth worn down by grinding or hold a bridge securely in place. They can be made from metals, porcelain, resin, or ceramics. With careful colour matching, crowns look just like natural teeth, making them both functional and aesthetic.
What are bridges?
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with a fixed solution. The artificial tooth is attached to neighbouring teeth or dental implants, creating a strong and natural-looking result. Bridges not only restore appearance but also prevent teeth drifting into gaps, which could otherwise affect your bite and even cause jaw discomfort.

Restoring teeth step by step
Crowns
Your tooth is carefully shaped before a crown is fitted over it, like a top hat over a smaller hat. This protects what remains of the tooth and restores both its strength and appearance. Crowns are particularly useful when a tooth is cracked, heavily decayed, or has become weak after other dental treatments.
Bridges
A bridge fills gaps left by missing teeth. The replacement tooth is attached to crowns on either side, or secured to implants. This fixed restoration restores your natural bite, helps prevent gum disease by closing gaps, and improves the look of your smile.
Recognising when restorative care is needed
- Toothache - Severe decay may require a crown for relief and to save the tooth.
- Tooth sensitivity - Worn enamel or damage may need restoration with a crown.
- Discolouration - Crowns can cover chipped, broken, or decayed teeth for a more natural look.
- Bad breath - Caused by untreated tooth decay or infection, often solved by restoring damaged teeth with a crown or bridge.

questions answered
What is a crown?
A crown is a big repair for a badly damaged tooth. It usually looks like a hollow tooth that fits over a very careful preparation of whatever remains - very much like a top hat fitting over a smaller top hat. Crowns are used to protect, cover and restore the shape of your teeth when fillings don’t solve the problem.
When are crowns used?
Crowns are often used to restore a tooth that suffered severe decay. They can also be used to fill teeth that have been badly worn down from years of grinding, or to completely reconstruct an area where multiple teeth are missing. You may also need a crown to hold a permanent bridge in place.
What materials are crowns made from?
Crowns can be made from a variety of materials depending on your requirements and often look exactly like perfect natural teeth. Dental crowns can be made out of metals, porcelain, resin and ceramics. They typically don’t require special care over time other than regular good oral hygiene.
What are the signs of tooth decay that might mean I need a crown?
- Toothache: Toothache can be one of the most painful sensations known. It’s hard to imagine anyone wanting to keep going through this, especially if it keeps you awake at night or causes occasional sharp pain. Crowns are often the best way to relieve this problem.
- Tooth sensitivity: Sensitivity generally happens when your tooth enamel wears away or dissolves. You may feel tenderness or pain when eating or drinking something hot, cold or sweet.
- Discolouration: Grey, brown or black spots on your teeth may indicate cavities. Crowns are a popular way to cover broken, chipped and decayed teeth, restoring their function and natural look.
- Bad breath: Tooth decay is essentially a bacterial infection that affects the surface of your tooth (enamel). The bacteria create toxins that eat away at the enamel, which leads to decay and can result in bad breath.
If you notice any of these signs, book an appointment at Dentistry.ie. Our team in Dublin City Centre, Kilkenny, Kimmage, Balbriggan and Artane can assess your teeth and discuss the best treatment options for you.
What is a bridge and when is it used?
If you are missing teeth, there are many options for you, including partial or full dentures, dental implants or a bridge. A bridge is a permanent fix for patients with missing teeth. Unlike a partial denture, it is fixed in place.
Bridges are incredibly useful if you have very few missing teeth or if the missing teeth are located on one side of your mouth. It is similar to a partial denture in that it has a base and artificial teeth. The base of a dental bridge is normally made from a type of precious metal, while the artificial tooth placed on top is made from porcelain and styled to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth.
Why is it important to replace missing teeth?
Replacing missing teeth is not just cosmetic - it helps prevent gum disease and other tooth decay. Gaps can place strain on teeth on either side, which ‘lean’ into the vacant space, altering the bite of the upper and lower teeth. This alteration can trigger clenching and grinding, further straining these teeth.
How do I get started with a bridge or other tooth replacement?
The first place to start is to call us at any one of our practices across Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare. Book an appointment and speak to one of our highly-skilled practitioners at Dentistry.ie. Our job is to put you at ease. Next, we’ll do a detailed analysis of your mouth and determine what solution would suit you best. Third, we’ll put a plan in place that suits you, not us - you. You are our priority, including scheduling regular appointments over the course of the treatment that suits you.
