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.

Brilliant team and brilliant service. I had an emergency recently and Chloe, Selena and Dr Shane took first class care of me. Couldn’t recommend them more, true professionals and kind also
This is my second appointment with Dr Anne Marie, she is so calm, gentle and professional. Also for the first time ever I am so looking forward for my dentist appointment and is almost the same feeling like I am in the right hairdresser 😆 I know is strange to say this but is truth Thank you Dr Anne Marie
I’ve been seeing Dr.Oana Ursache for a while now, and honestly, she’s the kindest and most patient dentist I’ve ever met. From my very first visit, she made me feel completely at ease—which is saying a lot, considering I used to get pretty anxious about dental appointments 😅 She explains everything clearly, works gently, and genuinely cares—not just about the end result, but about how you feel throughout the whole process. The clinic is clean, calm, and welcoming, and everyone on her team is just as lovely and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend her, especially if you’re looking for a dentist who combines real expertise with warmth and empathy. I actually look forward to my appointments now!
got my braces 😬 off few weeks ago, had a great experience and the staffs are amazingly kind . Big thanks for whoever been looking after me trough out the treatments and now im always with a beautiful smiles ❤️ 😁
Dr. Maria is truly exceptional! They were incredibly skillful and gentle, making my visit surprisingly comfortable. Their clear explanations and caring demeanor put me completely at ease. Highly recommend!
McEvoy dental are definitely the best dental practice I’ve ever dealt with. Dr. Jannis Heinrich is an exceptional dentist and a really great person to deal with. I am delighted that I changed to this dental practice. Would definitely recommend.
I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Jannis Heinrich for his professional assistance in an emergency situation with my son. Dr. Heinrich not only provided prompt and high-quality treatment, but also showed incredible compassion and care, which greatly supported us during a difficult time. It is especially impressive how easily Dr. Heinrich connects with children. My son felt trust, and after having his tooth extracted, he walked out of the office with a smile on his face and now happily visits this dental clinic. Dr. Jannis Heinrich is a true master of his craft and a top-level professional. He treated my cavity quickly and painlessly, improved the aesthetics of my smile, and also successfully placed two crowns in just one day. He treats every patient with care and deep attention. Dr. Heinrich is a prime example of what a progressive, modern dentist should be — someone who truly loves their profession and their work! McEvoy Dental Clinic has a special atmosphere — it’s cozy, calm, and genuinely feels like home. A million thanks to the entire staff of McEvoy Dental Clinic for your warmth and the exceptionally high standards of medical service.
Rory and the team are absolutely amazing. Having had several dentists over the years, I was eager to have a reliable one I could go back to when I needed checkups. Rory always took the time to explain everything to me and make me comfortable. All the staff are great and I couldn't recommend them more!
Dr Naomi and her team are brilliant.I'm a very nervous patient and thought I would need sedation, but the whole team were amazing and so reassuring from first consult right through to impacted wisdom tooth extraction. The procedure was over and done with in under half and hour and was so easy, I couldn't believe how quick and pain free it was. Thank you all so much for your excellent care, understanding, patience and attention. An exemplary dental practice, highly recommended, lovely welcoming receptionist too.
Dr Boggs is hands down the best dentist we've ever had. My son woke up howling of pain in his back molar, it was a complete nightmare. I brought him to Dr. Boggs And it turns out an absolute eejit dentist in Athlone botched his filling. Absolutely shocking. Dr. Shane not only alleviated the pain but sorted the tooth and did so with a gentle and loving hand. That was my son, Ciaran. I won’t even get into the problems with Mickey’s root canal. but the jist of it is I thank my lucky stars for Dr Boggs and Kildare dental; without whom as a parent you’ll never get a proper night sleep again!
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.

Your crowns and bridges
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.
