Dental Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic restorations designed to restore the shape, function, and aesthetics of damaged or missing teeth. They are cemented over natural teeth or implants, providing long-term stability, improved chewing function, and a beautiful, confident smile.

At City Clinic Marbella, we create customised restorations using high-quality materials such as pure ceramic, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal.
The process includes a thorough oral examination and a digital study of the case. Teeth or implants are prepared as supports, and precise impressions (digital or traditional) are taken to craft perfectly fitting restorations.
Our crowns and bridges offer exceptional durability and aesthetics, blending seamlessly with your natural dentition.

Indications

Broken, weakened, or worn-down teeth.
Missing teeth (single or multiple).
Implant-based restoration.
Difficulty chewing or uneven bite due to missing teeth
Cosmetic enhancement (improving shape, colour, or alignment).

Causes

Advanced tooth decay or fractures.
Tooth wear from bruxism.
Previous extractions or tooth loss.
Aesthetic or structural dental defects.
