Dental Care Options at Wentworth Dental
Wentworth Dental provides additional dental treatments that may support your restorative care plan or help maintain your oral health.
A dental crown may be used when a tooth needs more protection than a filling can provide. Crowns are designed to cover the visible portion of the tooth above the gumline and help restore its shape, strength, and function.
A crown may be recommended after root canal therapy, for a cracked or weakened tooth, or when a large cavity or filling has reduced the remaining tooth structure. Crowns can also improve the appearance of teeth that are worn, misshapen, or severely discolored. Dental crowns may help with:
Dental Crowns to Protect and Strengthen Teeth
Teeth Weakened by Large Fillings
Protection After Root Canal Therapy
Improved Shape, Strength, and Appearance
Long-Term Support for Chewing Function
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by filling the open space with artificial teeth. The bridge is usually supported by nearby natural teeth or dental implants, depending on the patient’s oral health and treatment plan.
Replacing missing teeth is important because gaps can affect chewing, speech, bite balance, and the position of surrounding teeth. A dental bridge can help restore your smile and reduce the risk of nearby teeth shifting into the empty space.
At Wentworth Dental, our team will explain whether a bridge, implant, or another tooth replacement option may be suitable for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a dental crown and a dental bridge?
A dental crown is used to cover and protect a damaged, weakened, or heavily restored tooth. A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by filling the gap with artificial teeth supported by nearby teeth or dental implants. At Wentworth Dental, our team can assess your tooth or missing tooth space and explain which option may be more appropriate for your oral health needs.
When would I need a dental crown?
You may need a dental crown if a tooth is cracked, worn, weakened, severely decayed, or has a large filling that no longer provides enough support. Crowns may also be recommended after root canal therapy to help protect the treated tooth. The goal of a crown is to restore strength, comfort, shape, and chewing function while helping protect the remaining natural tooth structure.
When would I need a dental bridge?
A dental bridge may be recommended if you are missing one or more teeth and want a fixed replacement option. Missing teeth can affect your bite, chewing ability, speech, and the position of surrounding teeth. A bridge can help fill the space and restore function. During your visit, Wentworth Dental can explain whether a bridge, dental implant, or another option may be better suited to your smile.
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
The lifespan of a crown or bridge depends on oral hygiene, bite forces, diet, grinding habits, and regular dental care. With proper brushing, flossing, dental cleanings, and routine exams, crowns and bridges can last for many years. Our team will show you how to clean around your restoration and check it during future visits to help protect your long-term oral health.
Will a crown or bridge look natural?
Dental crowns and bridges are designed to restore the appearance and function of your smile. The colour, shape, and fit are planned to blend with surrounding teeth as closely as possible. The final appearance depends on the material used, the location of the tooth, and your treatment goals. At Wentworth Dental, we will discuss what to expect before treatment begins.
If you have a damaged tooth, missing tooth, or an older restoration that needs attention, Wentworth Dental can help you understand your options and plan the right next step.
