Crowns, Bridges & Dentures
Crowns, bridges and dentures in Berlin from your English-speaking dental practice in Reinickendorf / Waidmannslust. Modern prosthetics that look natural, function reliably and last for many years. Dr. Helmut Kesler brings the rare combination of dental technician training and three decades of dental practice — invaluable for prosthetic precision.
English-Speaking Prosthetics Practice in Berlin
When a tooth is too damaged to be saved with a filling, or when teeth are missing, modern prosthetics restore both function and appearance. At our practice we offer the complete spectrum: from a single crown to full-arch implant-supported solutions.
Dental Crowns
A crown is a custom-made protective cap that covers a severely damaged tooth completely. We use crowns when:
- The remaining tooth substance is too weak for a filling
- A root canal treatment has been completed
- A tooth is fractured or worn down
- For aesthetic correction of severely discoloured front teeth
Materials Available
- All-ceramic crowns (zirconia, lithium disilicate) — highest aesthetic quality, biocompatible, indistinguishable from a natural tooth. Ideal for visible front teeth.
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) — durable, well-suited for back teeth, partial insurance coverage.
- Gold crowns — extraordinarily long-lasting (often 25+ years), excellent biocompatibility, traditionally for posterior molars.
Dental Bridges
When one or more teeth are missing between healthy neighbours, a fixed bridge closes the gap. The neighbouring teeth are slightly prepared to support the bridge. Advantages: normal chewing function restored, adjacent teeth cannot drift, the jaw bone stays under load and is preserved.
Removable Partial and Full Dentures
For larger gaps or complete tooth loss, removable dentures are an established solution. Modern designs are comfortable, well-fitting and aesthetic. With implant-supported dentures, the fit becomes rock-solid — no slipping, no painful pressure points, no adhesive cream. See our implants page.
Implant-Supported Prosthetics
For patients seeking the most stable and lifelike solution we combine implants with crowns, bridges or full-arch restorations. The implant replaces the tooth root; the visible part is attached securely.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With good oral hygiene and regular professional cleaning, modern crowns last 15 to 20 years, gold crowns often over 25 years. Bridges have similar lifespans.
Is the preparation painful?
No — we prepare under gentle local anaesthesia. You feel nothing during the procedure. Anxious patients can request our anxiety-free options.
Bridge or implant — which is better?
Each has pros and cons. Bridges are faster and require less surgery but involve grinding healthy neighbours. Implants are more long-lasting and preserve neighbouring teeth. We advise individually.
Can I have crowns or bridges if I grind my teeth?
Yes, with a protective bite splint to prevent damage to the restoration.
