Crowns and bridges in The Hague
A crown is a cap fixed over a tooth to strengthen it and improve its appearance. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring it to the neighbouring teeth. Both are custom-made and look natural.

We prepare the tooth, take a digital or traditional impression and place a temporary crown. The dental laboratory makes the final crown in the shade of your own teeth.

Crown or bridge: the difference
Both are custom-made and fixed in place. The difference lies in what they restore.
Crown
A cap over a single tooth that is damaged or weakened.
Bridge
Replaces a missing tooth and rests on the neighbouring teeth.
Long lasting
With good brushing and cleaning under the bridge, a crown or bridge often lasts many years.
