Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns  are fixed dental prosthetics that restore the appearance, function, and structure of damaged or missing teeth. 

• Crowns are placed to restore severely broken down or worn teeth, Can be used to improve the appearance, shape, or alignment of a tooth 
• Can be used to cover a dental implant 
• Can be made of porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys or gold 

Bridges are a combination of crowns and artificial teeth that replace missing teeth. In a conventional bridge design, the teeth adjacent to the gap are grinded as they would be for crowns. The bridge consists of a false tooth (called a pontic) which is permanently joined to the crowns on either side.
