Dental Crowns & Bridges in Stockholm – Tooth-Supported Fixed Dental Prosthesis (FDP)
At Gloss & Floss, we provide high-quality tooth-supported fixed dental prosthesis in Stockholm—custom dental crowns and bridges that restore function and deliver a natural, confident smile.
What Is a Tooth-Supported Fixed Dental Prosthesis?
A Fixed Dental Prosthesis (FDP) is a restoration that is cemented to natural teeth. It includes single-tooth crowns and multi-tooth bridges that replace missing teeth. Therefore, FDPs are not removable and feel stable in daily use.
Dental Crowns
A crown is a strong cap that covers a weakened or cracked tooth. As a result, it restores strength, shape, and appearance while matching your natural enamel.
Dental Bridges
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth or crowns. Consequently, it “bridges” the gap to improve chewing, speech, and smile symmetry.
When Do You Need Crowns & Bridges?
- Extensive decay, cracks, or large/old fillings that compromise tooth strength.
- Reinforcement after root canal treatment.
- Replacement of one or multiple missing teeth as a fixed alternative to removable dentures.
- Cosmetic improvement of shape, alignment, or color when veneers are not sufficient.
Our Approach to Tooth-Supported Fixed Dental Prosthesis in Stockholm
Because precision matters, we combine clinical expertise with modern digital workflows for natural-looking results.
- High-quality porcelain/ceramic for strength and lifelike translucency.
- Comfortable digital impressions for accuracy—no messy molds.
- Custom shade matching for seamless integration with your smile.
For primarily cosmetic refinements, consider porcelain veneers. Conversely, if a tooth is missing and adjacent teeth are healthy, dental implants can be an excellent alternative to bridgework. If you feel anxious, our sedation dentistry helps you relax.

Treatment Process – Step by Step
1) Consultation & Assessment
We review your goals, examine teeth, gums, and bite, and discuss options in clear terms.
2) Tooth Preparation & Digital Impressions
The involved tooth/teeth are minimally shaped. Then, precise digital scans capture your bite for a perfect fit.
3) Custom Fabrication
Your crown or bridge is crafted to our exact specifications for shape, contour, and color.
4) Placement & Final Adjustments
We try in, bond, refine the bite, and polish the surface for a natural finish.
Benefits of a Tooth-Supported Fixed Dental Prosthesis in Stockholm
- Comfortable chewing and clear speech, day after day.
- Prevents shifting of adjacent and opposing teeth.
- Protects weakened teeth from fractures.
- Natural-looking results that complement your smile.
- Long-lasting stability with proper care.
Aftercare & Longevity
Brush twice daily, floss with bridge threaders or interdental brushes, and attend regular hygiene visits. Night guards are advisable if you clench or grind. If shade harmonization is needed for neighboring teeth, we may recommend veneers or teeth whitening beforehand.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown covers and reinforces a single tooth, whereas a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth.
How long does an FDP take?
Usually two visits: one for preparation and digital impressions, and another for placement. Timelines vary with complexity and lab schedules.
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With conscientious home care and routine check-ups, they can last many years. Bite forces, hygiene, and bruxism influence longevity.
Can crowns or bridges be whitened?
No. Porcelain does not whiten. Therefore, if you plan to brighten your smile, complete whitening first so we can match the final shade.
Bridge or implant—what is better?
Both are excellent when correctly indicated. An implant preserves adjacent teeth; a bridge can be ideal when neighbouring teeth already need crowns. We will explain pros and cons during your assessment.
Is treatment painful?
Treatment is typically comfortable with local anesthesia. For added ease, you can choose our sedation dentistry.
