Every restoration is individually planned using digital technology and premium materials to achieve a natural appearance, lasting strength, and optimal function.

Our specialist-led approach focuses on preserving your oral health while restoring confidence in your smile. Whether you need to repair a single tooth or replace several missing teeth, we create bespoke solutions tailored to your unique needs.

Dental Crowns

Strength, Protection & Natural Aesthetics

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth. Designed to restore strength, shape, and appearance, crowns provide long-term protection while blending seamlessly with your natural smile.

Before treatment, we carefully assess the remaining tooth structure to ensure a strong and stable foundation. Each crown is precisely crafted from high-quality porcelain and custom shaded to match your surrounding teeth for a beautiful, natural-looking result.

Dental Bridges

A Fixed Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental bridges offer an effective way to replace one or more missing teeth without surgery. Supported by neighbouring teeth, a bridge restores appearance, chewing function, and overall balance within your bite.

Our bridges are individually designed to look and feel natural while helping to prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting. Throughout the process, you’ll have the opportunity to review the shape and appearance of your restoration before the final bridge is fitted, ensuring complete confidence in your result.

Dental Bridges May Be Suitable For:

Replacing one or more missing teeth
Restoring a balanced, symmetrical smile
Strengthening heavily restored teeth
Improving the appearance of stained or damaged teeth
Supporting larger restorative treatments

Onlays & Overlays

Preserving Natural Tooth Structure

When a tooth has extensive damage, decay, or large existing fillings, an onlay or overlay can provide greater strength than a conventional filling while preserving more healthy tooth tissue than a full crown.

At Ham Dental, preserving natural tooth structure is always a priority. These custom-made restorations are designed to reinforce weakened teeth, particularly in areas exposed to high biting forces. By retaining as much natural tooth structure as possible, onlays and overlays offer a conservative, durable, and highly aesthetic solution for long-term tooth preservation.

Our specialist team carefully evaluates each case to determine the most appropriate treatment, ensuring the best balance between strength, function, and preservation of your natural teeth.

Restore Strength, Function & Confidence

Whether you need to repair a damaged tooth or replace missing teeth, our experienced team can help you achieve a healthy, natural-looking smile with bespoke crowns, bridges, and restorative treatments.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having lived with crowded teeth for most of my life, I was delighted when Dr Abela told me that straightening them might well be possible. From his initial assessment to completing the treatment, he and his team have been professional and thorough, friendly and reassuring. He explained what was happening and what to expect. Two years on, my teeth are beautifully straight, they look and feel so much better and are easier to keep clean and healthy. I am delighted with the outcome. Thank you, Dr Abela.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m very impressed by Dr. Stefan’s competency and professionalism. As a transfer patient who has received contradictory advice from other orthodontists, Dr. Stefan was able to deliver a persuasive opinion backed up by digestible evidence. He reviewed the materials I shared in advance of my appointment, and within minutes of examining me, he was able to provide a diagnosis and articulate the rationales to me. He listened to my concerns and promptly followed up with referrals. I feel heard and assured. The administrative staff is responsive, patient, and professional. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Stefan.

Their confident expertise, gentle skills, absolute professionalism and lucid communication combined with genuine empathy with their patients mean that I am now very satisfied that my teeth and oral hygiene are in the best possible hands. Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Dr. Milisha enough. She is so caring and thoughtful and I am really happy with the end result. Absolutely no pain felt at all through the process of providing me with 3 dental implants and not many dentists would phone you to check you are ok after undergoing the preparatory work. I just couldn't face living my life with a dental plate and now I have a smile to be proud of thanks to her first class treatment. Thank you so much.

Common Questions

FAQ's Crowns and Bridges

Who Is a Suitable Candidate for a Crown or Bridge?

Dental crowns are commonly recommended for teeth that have been weakened by large fillings, fractures, root canal treatment, or significant wear. Dental bridges are an effective option for replacing one or more missing teeth when neighbouring teeth can provide support or when implant treatment is not appropriate.

Following a thorough assessment, our clinicians will recommend the most suitable solution based on your individual needs and long-term oral health goals.

How Long Does Crown or Bridge Treatment Take?

Treatment times vary depending on the complexity of each case. In most situations, the process involves preparing the tooth, taking detailed impressions or digital scans, and fitting a temporary restoration while the final restoration is expertly fabricated.

Once ready, your permanent crown or bridge is carefully fitted, adjusted, and checked to ensure optimal comfort, function, and aesthetics.

Will My Crown or Bridge Look Natural?

Yes. Modern crowns and bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. We carefully select materials, shades, and contours to match your natural smile, creating restorations that are both functional and highly aesthetic.

Our goal is to deliver results that feel comfortable and look completely natural.

Is the Procedure Comfortable?

Patient comfort is always a priority. Treatment is carried out using effective local anaesthesia, ensuring the procedure is as comfortable as possible. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment and only mild, temporary sensitivity afterwards.

Our team will guide you through every stage of treatment and provide advice to ensure a smooth recovery.

How Long Do Crowns and Bridges Last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental maintenance, crowns and bridges can provide many years of reliable function and aesthetics. Routine examinations and professional hygiene visits help protect both the restoration and the supporting teeth.

Long-term success depends on ongoing care and regular monitoring.

How Should I Care for My Crown or Bridge?

Caring for a crown or bridge is similar to caring for natural teeth.

We recommend:

Brushing twice daily
Cleaning between the teeth and around restorations
Attending regular dental check-ups
Visiting your hygienist for routine maintenance
Avoiding habits that place excessive stress on teeth

Proper care helps maximise the lifespan of your restoration.

Why Choose Ham Dental for Crowns and Bridges?

At Ham Dental, we combine advanced clinical expertise with modern technology and high-quality materials to create restorations that are durable, functional, and natural-looking.

Our personalised approach focuses on preserving healthy tooth structure, restoring function, and delivering beautiful aesthetic results tailored to every patient.

Can Existing Crowns or Bridges Be Replaced?

Yes. Older restorations may become worn, damaged, or no longer meet your aesthetic expectations. We regularly replace existing crowns and bridges, improving both appearance and function while ensuring long-term oral health.

A detailed assessment will help determine the most appropriate replacement option.

What Is an Onlay?

An onlay is a custom-made restoration used to repair a damaged or weakened tooth while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Unlike a crown, which covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, an onlay restores only the damaged areas that require reinforcement.

Onlays are often considered a more conservative alternative to full crowns.

When Is an Onlay Recommended?

An onlay may be recommended when a tooth has moderate damage, a large existing filling, or a crack that requires additional support. It provides greater strength than a traditional filling while preserving more natural tooth structure than a crown.

This makes it an excellent option for many restorative cases.

Are Onlays Durable?

Yes. Modern ceramic and composite onlays are highly durable and designed to withstand normal chewing forces. When properly bonded and maintained, they can provide long-lasting protection while strengthening the underlying tooth.

They offer an excellent balance between conservation and durability, making them a popular restorative solution.
