Dental Crowns are custom-made caps that fit over a damaged, weakened or heavily restored tooth to protect it and restore its shape, strength and appearance. A crown covers the entire visible part of the tooth above the gum line, helping it function like a natural tooth again.

Crowns are often recommended when a tooth is too weak for a filling alone, or when extra protection is needed after treatment.

Dental Bridges are fixed dental restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between healthy teeth or dental implants. A bridge is made up of one or more replacement teeth, supported by the teeth or implants on either side of the space.

Dental bridges can help restore your smile, improve chewing and speaking, and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting out of place.

Dental Veneers are thin, custom-made coverings that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are designed to enhance the shape, size, colour and overall look of your smile while maintaining a natural finish.

At Shettleston Smile Dental Practice, veneers are often used as a cosmetic treatment to help create a brighter, more even and more confident smile.

Dental Onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair and strengthen a damaged tooth when a filling is not enough, but a full crown is not necessary. They are sometimes described as a middle ground between a filling and a crown.

An onlay fits over the damaged part of the tooth and usually covers one or more of the biting surfaces, helping to restore strength while preserving more of your natural tooth.
