Crowns

A crown, sometimes referred to as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, while also strengthening and improving its appearance. A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. It can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.

A bridge is a dental appliance that replaces one or more natural missing teeth, thereby “bridging” the space between two teeth. Fixed bridges are cemented onto the teeth on either side of the space. Unlike removable partial dentures, fixed bridges cannot be removed from the mouth by the patient. If you are missing any teeth and are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene practices, you may be a good candidate for a bridge. If left unfilled, this space can cause the surrounding teeth to drift out of position as well as cause teeth and gums to become more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease, which can cause further tooth loss. Fixed bridges not only correct an altered bite and improve your chewing ability and speech, but also safeguard your appearance by preventing the collapse of your facial features that can cause premature wrinkles and age lines.
