CROWNS AND BRIDGES
If you’ve lost a large piece of a tooth (or the entire tooth) as a result of an injury or accident, root canal treatment, dental implant, or large cavity, our dental surgeon may recommend a dental crown for you.
While a filling covers just a small section of a tooth, a dental crown encases the entire visible portion and acts as its new outer surface. The result is a tooth restored to its original shape, size, and color.
Richmond Dental offers custom-made, beautiful dental crowns to protect your damaged teeth and bring back their natural look and function.

What to Expect From a Dental Crown Procedure
Step 1
Relax while we carefully prepare the surface of your tooth, making space for the crown.
Step 2
Next, we use the Itero Digital Scanner to take a digital scan of your mouth, using it as a guide to create your crown.
Step 3
We’ll fit you with a temporary crown, allowing you to chew normally while your permanent crown is made.
Step 4
When your crown is ready, we’ll invite you back to our office so we can bond your crown securely in place. You’ll love the result!
From dental implants to orthodontic braces and many other advanced treatments, Richmond Dental Clinic offers a wide variety of options to help you maintain a beautiful, healthy smile.

What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a modern-day solution for one or multiple missing teeth and is often viewed as a better alternative to a removable partial denture. A dental bridge is fixed in place (non-removable) and very durable. Custom-made bridges are also highly esthetic and look as beautiful and natural as your original missing tooth or teeth. Unlike dentures, dental bridges are very secure and allow you to eat the foods you love. They also promote healthy gums and prevent bone loss — something quite common in patients who wear dentures.
Here’s how it works: Using teeth on either side of your missing tooth, a bridge holds a replacement tooth in place. This process effectively “bridges” the gap in your mouth, restoring the beauty, health, and function of your smile.
At Richmond Dental, our dental surgeons offer custom-made dental bridges right here in our clinic at Ikoyi Lagos. This treatment can often be completed without surgery and finished in as few as 2-3 weeks. Contact us today to find out if a dental bridge is the right choice for you.

What to Expect From a Dental Crown Procedure
Step 1: Preparation
Your neighboring teeth are prepared to act as the anchor for your dental bridge. At times, this includes a dental implant placement.
Step 2: Restoration Creation
A temporary bridge is placed while your final restoration is carefully crafted to perfectly fit your mouth and smile.
Step 3: Placement
Once your custom-made restoration is ready, the finished bridge is bonded into place. Your smile will be back to new!
