Overview
What to expect from Crowns & Bridges
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged, weakened, or root-canal-treated tooth to restore its strength and appearance. A bridge uses crowns on either side of a gap to hold a replacement tooth in place.
MedVocs' dentists offer a range of materials — including tooth-coloured ceramic and zirconia — matched to your bite and appearance, with precise fitting for lasting comfort.

How to prepare (before surgery)
- Attend a pre-surgery consultation where your surgeon reviews your history, examines you, and explains the procedure and expected outcome.
- Complete any pre-operative tests advised — such as blood tests, ECG, or imaging — so you can be confirmed fit for surgery.
- Tell your surgeon about all medicines you take (especially blood thinners like aspirin), and any allergies — some may need to be paused before surgery.
- Eat lightly and stay hydrated unless your surgeon advises otherwise — prolonged fasting is usually not required.
- Arrange for a family member or friend to accompany you and take you home after the procedure.
What happens during the procedure — step by step
- 1
You are positioned comfortably and the anaesthesia is administered so you feel no pain during surgery.
- 2
The surgeon makes a small, precise incision and treats or removes the affected tissue.
- 3
Care is taken to control bleeding and protect surrounding healthy structures throughout.
- 4
The incision is closed with sutures or surgical glue and dressed, and you are moved to recovery.
Recovery & what to expect afterwards
- You are observed in a recovery area for a few hours and, in most cases, discharged the same day once you are stable.
- Most patients return to light daily activities within a recovery window of about 1–2 days, depending on individual healing.
- You will receive clear instructions on wound care, medication, diet, and activity, plus a scheduled follow-up to review your progress.
Aftercare & precautions
- Take prescribed medicines (including any antibiotics or pain relief) exactly as directed, and keep the surgical area clean and dry.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and driving until your surgeon confirms it is safe to resume them.
- Watch for warning signs — increasing pain, swelling, bleeding, discharge, or fever — and contact your care team promptly if they occur.
- Attend all follow-up appointments so healing can be checked and any stitches or dressings managed on time.
