Crowns and bridges at M Dental Greenwich
When a tooth is heavily worn, cracked or missing, a crown or bridge can rebuild it beautifully and let you chew and smile without worry. At M Dental Greenwich on Harrison Walk, we design restorations that match the shade and shape of your own teeth so closely that they simply blend in. Care is led by principal dentist Dr Tim Meskhi (GDC 151044), supported by a friendly team who take the time to understand what you want from your smile.
Our SE10 clinic sits a short walk from Island Gardens DLR, with Cutty Sark DLR and Greenwich town centre close by, making us convenient for patients from Blackheath, Deptford, Maze Hill, New Cross and North Greenwich. Using digital X-rays and intraoral cameras, we assess the tooth thoroughly before recommending the most conservative option, and flexible appointment times are available for those with busy weekdays.
Understanding your crown and bridge options
A crown is a tailor-made cap that fits over a damaged tooth to restore its strength, shape and appearance. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement to the healthy teeth on either side. Both are made to measure so they feel like a natural part of your mouth. Depending on the tooth and where it sits in your smile, your options may include:
- All-ceramic crowns that reflect light like natural enamel — ideal for front teeth.
- Porcelain-bonded crowns that combine a strong core with a lifelike finish.
- Conventional bridges that use crowns on the neighbouring teeth to hold a replacement securely.
- Metal-based crowns for back teeth where chewing forces are highest and durability matters most.
We take precise digital impressions and choose materials that balance strength with a natural look, so your restoration performs well and disappears into your smile.
Are crowns and bridges right for you?
A crown is often the best choice when a tooth is too broken down for a simple filling, after root canal treatment, or where a large old filling is starting to fail. A bridge can be a fixed, comfortable way to close a gap if you would prefer not to wear a removable denture and the neighbouring teeth are strong enough to provide support.
We will always look at the health of the surrounding teeth and gums first, because a solid foundation is essential for a long-lasting result. If a dental implant would give you a more conservative outcome, or a denture would suit your circumstances better, we will explain the trade-offs clearly so you can weigh up cost, longevity and how each option feels. A crown can also be the finishing touch after root canal treatment, protecting a tooth that has become brittle, while a bridge is a reliable way to restore a single gap without surgery. The aim is always the treatment that is genuinely right for you, not simply the most involved.
What to expect at our Greenwich clinic
Treatment usually takes two visits. At the first, we gently prepare the tooth under local anaesthetic, take a digital scan and fit a temporary crown or bridge to protect it. Our dental laboratory then handcrafts your permanent restoration to the exact shade and contour we have agreed. At the second visit, we check the fit and colour carefully before bonding it securely into place.
Most patients find the process comfortable and straightforward, with any sensitivity settling quickly afterwards. Because we take a digital scan rather than a putty impression, the appointment is more pleasant and the fit tends to be more accurate too. Caring for a crown or bridge is much like caring for your natural teeth: brush twice a day, clean between the teeth — using a special floss or interdental brush beneath a bridge — and keep up with routine check-ups so we can keep an eye on things. Looked after well, a good crown or bridge can serve you faithfully for many years.
Crown and bridge prices in Greenwich & spreading the cost
Crowns and bridges at M Dental Greenwich start from £750. The final figure depends on the material chosen and, for a bridge, how many teeth it needs to span, so we will give you a clear written estimate after examining the tooth — with no hidden extras. Your price includes the preparation, the temporary restoration and fitting your final crown or bridge.
