If a tooth has been cracked, heavily filled, root-treated or lost altogether, dental crowns and bridges can restore both its strength and its natural look. At The Esthetic Zone on the 4th Floor of the R-Square Building in Masaki, Dar es Salaam, our dental team designs custom crowns and bridges that fit comfortably, chew reliably and blend with your surrounding teeth.
What crowns and bridges treat
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged tooth to protect and rebuild it, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the teeth on either side.
- Crowns can restore teeth weakened by large cavities, fractures, wear or root canal treatment.
- Bridges can fill the gap left by a missing tooth, helping you bite, speak and smile with confidence.
- Both can improve the shape, colour and alignment of teeth that look worn or uneven.
Materials we use
The right material depends on where the tooth sits in your mouth, how much force it takes when you chew, and the look you want. During your consultation in Masaki we discuss the options, which may include:
- Porcelain and ceramic for a natural, tooth-like appearance, ideal for front teeth.
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal for a balance of strength and aesthetics.
- Metal and gold alloys for hard-working back teeth where durability matters most.
What to expect: the process
Getting a crown or bridge usually takes two visits:
- Assessment: we examine the tooth, take X-rays or scans where needed, and explain what each option involves.
- Preparation: the tooth is gently shaped and an impression or digital scan is taken; a temporary crown protects it meanwhile.
- Fitting: your custom crown or bridge is checked for fit, bite and colour, then bonded securely in place.
We use local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable, and our team explains every step in English or Swahili so you always know what is happening.
