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...

My daughter had her braces removed today and the results are amazing. Every appointment ran smoothly and all staff from the reception to the dentist's chair were friendly and informative at all times. We would highly recommend Pearls to our friends & family. Continue the great work. Ps. The one4allvoucher was the icing on the cake!!! Thank u :)
One of the most pleasant experiences of my life, I have spent the last two years visiting regularly for braces. Staff were always happy to see me and extremely pleasant. My teeth are perfect and I’m almost sad that the experience is over. Couldn’t recommend more.
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!
I had a fantastic experience at Sundrive Dental. I was in so much pain when I arrived, but Anne Marie, the receptionist, was warm and welcoming, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free. Dr. Renan and Nurse Maria were amazing—professional yet personal. They assessed my situation quickly and performed the emergency procedure seamlessly, answering all my questions and putting me at ease. The clinic was spotless, and their infection control was top-notch. This team sets the bar high for dental care. Highly recommend!
Recently in for a filling with Dr. Maria. Experience was seamless, all staff were kind, caring, efficient and accommodating. Could not fault them. The reception team in particular were so helpful and reassuring.
Both my husband and I had a check up and clean with Dr Rory and his assistant. Very pleasant experience, Dr Rory is gentle and found him very thorough performing an oral cancer screening and perio check of my gums during the exam which not all dentists do. Would definitely recommend. Thumbs up from us!
There are only good points with this surgery. They open on a Saturday, they gave me the best filling I've ever had - no jagged bits, no sensitivity, fits my bite perfectly and they did it so fast, The receptionist is great with people and professional. For immunocompromised people they are great again. They were happy to wear the aura respirators I bought in, donned them properly, I asked if I could bring in an air filter and they're happy with that too. They understood me wanting the 1st appointment on a quiet day and even have given me a long appointment to do the rest of the work I need so I can minimise appointments. Absolutely stellar. If you or a loved one need to be careful I thoroughly recommend them.
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
Recently had some dental implants done by Balbriggan Dental & Impact Clinic. I was really nervous but Dr Bashara is so experienced and professional at his work - he put me completely at ease. There is a lovely, relaxed feeling when you walk in. Lorraine & Tracy are worth their weight in gold! Both very experienced dental nurses and EVERYTHING was explained before, during and after treatment. For anyone who is nervous of Dentists like me, I highly recommend this clinic. Thanks to all the staff for making an anxious patient so relaxed and not dreading any future appointments. Thanks again!
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.
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.
Who will be treating me?
Our restorative dentistry team provides safe, reliable crown and bridge treatments across all Dentistry.ie practices. You’ll also be supported by treatment coordinators who guide you through every stage of your journey, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed.

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.
