Dentures, Crowns & Dental Prosthetics in Zira

Frequently asked questions
How long does a crown take?
A crown usually needs two visits: one to prepare the tooth and take measurements, and one to fit the final crown.
Will dentures look natural?
Dentures are made to suit the shape of your face and the colour of your remaining teeth. It can take a little time to get used to eating and speaking with new dentures.
Denture, bridge or implant: which is best?
It depends on how many teeth are missing, the health of the neighbouring teeth and bone, and your budget. Your dentist will explain the options and costs.
Which crown material should I choose?
Zirconia and ceramic look natural and suit visible teeth; metal-ceramic is strong and often used for back teeth. Your dentist will recommend a material for your tooth.
