Crowns, Bridges and Inlays at Pure Care Dentists Hoofddorp

When a tooth is damaged, weakened, or missing, a crown, bridge or inlay can be the right solution to restore your smile. At Pure Care Dentists we use modern digital techniques such as CEREC, which allow us to create metal-free, natural looking restorations that perfectly match your teeth, often in just a single appointment.

What is a dental crown?

A crown is a ceramic cap that fits over a tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and function.

When is a crown recommended?

  • When a tooth is too damaged for a filling.
  • After a root canal treatment, to protect the tooth from breaking.
  • For fractured or heavily worn teeth.
  • For cosmetic improvement, e.g. discoloured or misshaped teeth.


What is a dental bridge?

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent teeth. It consists of two crowns (the anchors) and a replacement tooth (the pontic).

When is a bridge recommended?

  • To replace one or more missing teeth.
  • To restore chewing function and speech.
  • To prevent remaining teeth from shifting.

What is an inlay?

An inlay is a custom-made restoration used for medium-sized cavities or damage – when a filling is not strong enough, but a crown is not yet necessary.

  • Designed digitally and made of durable ceramic.
  • Fits precisely into the prepared cavity and is bonded to the tooth.
  • Stronger and longer-lasting than a standard filling.

When is an inlay recommended?

  • For medium-sized cavities or fractures.
  • When a filling would not provide sufficient strength.
  • To preserve more natural tooth structure than a crown.

How does the treatment work?

  1. Preparation – the tooth is cleaned and shaped for the restoration.
  2. Digital scan – a 3D scan is taken (no messy impressions).
  3. Design – the crown, bridge or inlay is digitally designed in the correct shape and colour.
  4. Fabrication – with CEREC technology, the restoration can often be made immediately in our practice.
  5. Placement – the restoration is bonded securely, often on the same day.

Does the treatment hurt?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel any pain.
Afterwards, the tooth may be sensitive for a few days, but this usually subsides quickly.

What are the advantages of crowns, bridges and inlays?

  • Durability: ceramic restorations can last many years.
  • Natural look: colour and shape blend seamlessly with your teeth.
  • Comfort: with digital technology, often completed in one visit.
  • Tooth preservation: inlays and modern crowns preserve more natural tooth tissue.
  • Function restored: you can chew and smile with confidence again.
  • Protection: crowns and inlays strengthen weak teeth and prevent further damage.

What do crowns, bridges and inlays cost?

Costs depend on:

  • The type of restoration (crown, bridge or inlay).
  • The number of teeth involved.
  • Your dental insurance coverage.

All dental fees are set by the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa). We always provide a clear estimate in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes. For larger damage, a filling is often not strong enough. A crown covers the entire tooth and offers long-lasting protection.

An inlay is used when a filling would be too weak, but a crown is not yet necessary. It is a conservative solution that preserves more natural tooth structure while strengthening the tooth.

With proper oral care, they can last 10–15 years or even longer.

No. They are tooth-coloured and blend in naturally with your smile.

It depends on your situation.

  • A bridge is a good solution if the neighbouring teeth already need a crown or filling.
  • An implant is often the best option if the adjacent teeth are healthy, as they do not need to be filed down.
    Both options are durable and look natural. Your dentist will advise which solution suits you best.

Coverage depends on your dental insurance. For adults, these treatments are usually not included in the basic insurance.
