A missing tooth, or one that can’t be saved?
There are good, fixed solutions, from crowns and bridges to restorations on implants.

Why a gap should be treated
A gap isn’t only about looks. Neighbouring teeth can tilt, the opposite tooth can move into the space, and chewing shifts onto other teeth. Badly damaged teeth also need protection so they don’t break.
How we approach it
Consultation & planning
We show you the options (crown, bridge, denture or implant), with pros and cons.
Treatment and cost plan
Your insurer approves it in advance, so you know your share before we start.
Preparation & impression
We prepare the tooth conservatively and take an impression.
Fitting
The finished restoration, in porcelain-fused-to-metal or all-ceramic, is fitted and fixed in place.
On implants
Crowns, bridges and dentures can be anchored firmly on implants, even in a toothless jaw.
Your questions
Treatment
Crown, bridge or implant?
It depends on the neighbouring teeth, the bone and what you’d like. An implant spares the neighbouring teeth; a bridge needs no procedure in the bone.
Comfort
Is treatment painful?
The tooth is numbed while it’s prepared. You wear a temporary while the final restoration is made.
Timing
How long does it take?
Crowns and bridges usually take two to three appointments over about two weeks. With implants, the bone usually needs a few months to heal before the restoration goes on.
Cost
What does insurance cover?
Your insurer pays a fixed subsidy based on your diagnosis, and a complete Bonusheft increases it. The implants themselves are private; the restoration on top still gets the fixed subsidy.
