Crowns, Bridgework & Veneers

At Tara Martin Dental Care, we offer a range of restorative and cosmetic treatments designed to restore damaged teeth, replace missing teeth and improve the appearance of your smile.

Crowns, bridges and veneers can each play a different role in restoring your teeth. During your consultation, we’ll assess your individual needs and explain the options available to you, helping you choose the treatment that is right for your oral health, smile and long-term goals.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It can help restore the tooth's strength, shape, function and appearance, while protecting the remaining natural tooth structure.

Crowns may be recommended when a tooth has been:

• Heavily damaged by decay
• Cracked or broken
• Weakened by a large filling
• Worn or damaged over time
• Treated with root canal therapy
• Being restored as part of a dental implant

Each crown is carefully designed to complement your existing teeth, creating a natural-looking result while helping you eat and smile with confidence.

What does getting a crown involve?

Your dentist will first assess the tooth and discuss whether a crown is the most appropriate option. The tooth is carefully prepared before measurements or digital scans are taken to allow your custom restoration to be made.

Once your crown is ready, it is fitted and carefully checked for comfort, appearance and bite.

Your dentist will explain each stage of the process and make sure you understand your treatment before proceeding.

Dental Bridges

If you have one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge can provide a fixed way of replacing the gap.

A bridge uses the surrounding teeth or other suitable structures for support, with one or more replacement teeth positioned in the space where your natural teeth are missing.

A dental bridge can help to:

• Replace missing teeth
• Restore your ability to chew comfortably
• Improve speech where missing teeth have affected it
• Prevent neighbouring teeth from moving into the space
• Restore the appearance of your smile

Bridges are custom-made to blend with your natural teeth, providing a fixed alternative to a removable denture in suitable cases.

Your dentist will assess the health of the surrounding teeth and gums before recommending a bridge and will discuss all suitable options with you.

Veneers

At Tara Martin Dental Care, we’re passionate about helping our patients feel confident in their smiles. Veneers are one of the most effective ways to transform the appearance of your teeth while still keeping a natural look.

What are veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells, typically made of porcelain or composite material, that are carefully bonded to the front of your teeth. They are designed to match the colour, shape, and overall appearance of your smile, giving you a result that looks beautiful and natural.

What can veneers help with?

Veneers are a versatile solution for a range of dental concerns, including:

• Discolouration or staining that whitening can’t fix
• Chipped, worn, or uneven teeth
• Small gaps between teeth
• Mild crowding or misalignment
• Teeth that appear too small or irregular in shape

Why choose veneers at Tara Martin Dental Care?

• Tailored treatment – Every veneer is designed to complement your smile and facial features.
• Natural results – We use high-quality materials for a smile that looks natural, not artificial.
• Confidence boost – Many patients find veneers life-changing, giving them the confidence to smile freely.

Your journey to a brighter smile

Getting veneers usually involves two or more visits. We begin with a detailed consultation to discuss your goals, take impressions, and design your veneers. Once ready, we gently prepare your teeth and bond the veneers in place, ensuring a comfortable fit and long-lasting result.
