What is a crown?

A crown is like a custom-made helmet for your tooth — distributing the forces of chewing evenly and reducing flexion in the tooth structure beneath. It’s used when a tooth is weakened, cracked, heavily filled, or needs extra protection after a root canal. Crowns can also improve the shape, alignment, or colour of a tooth.

What is a bridge?

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to the teeth next to the gap. With CEREC, we can craft ceramic bridges with the same speed, accuracy, and comfort as our crowns — giving you a strong, fixed alternative to a removable denture.

Why choose CEREC at Switch Dental?

Same-day convenience

We use the latest CEREC Primescan and SpeedFire technology to scan, design, mill, and glaze your crown on-site. You’ll walk out with your final restoration the very same day — no temporary crown and no second appointment to book around.

State-of-the-art precision

Our system creates an incredibly accurate 3D model of your tooth, which we use to digitally design your restoration. It’s milled from high-strength ceramics (we stock multiple types for different clinical situations) and finished to match your bite and shade precisely.

Comfortable, mess-free process

Gone are the days of gag-inducing impression material. We take a quick digital scan — it’s faster, cleaner, and far more comfortable.

Custom shade and fit

We can characterise and glaze your crown in-house to match your natural teeth, so your restoration blends seamlessly.

How long will it last?

With good care, a crown or bridge can last 10 years or more — often much longer. Just like a well-maintained car, its lifespan depends on how you use it: protecting it from overload, keeping up with regular check-ups, and maintaining healthy gums.

Is a crown or bridge right for you?

Whether you’re protecting a tooth, improving your smile, or replacing a missing one, we’ll walk you through all your options — from materials to timing to cost — so you can choose the approach that works best for you.
