Crowns and Dental Bridges

Crowns

A crown is a “cap” that is cemented in place over a tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength and improve its appearance. Situations where a crown may be necessary include: traumatic fractures, tooth decay, cracked large fillings, teeth that have had root canals and extensive teeth grinding.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is designed to fill in the gap created by a missing tooth. It consists of two crowns that fit over the teeth adjacent to the gap, along with a false tooth in between. Bridges can help with restoring your smile, allowing proper alignment for chewing, and preventing remaining teeth from drifting.
