Crowns & Bridges

Crown and bridge restorations are used to restore teeth when the structural integrity of a tooth is compromised, or to take the place of missing teeth. In these procedures a tooth-shaped “cap” is placed over a tooth to restore its shape and size, enhance its strength, and improve its appearance.

Bridges and Crowns may be needed in the following situations:

Protect a weak or damaged tooth. This can be caused by tooth decay, which breaks down the toothʼs strength and integrity.
Cover a tooth with cracks. If a cracked tooth is not addressed quickly, the patient runs the risk of losing the tooth if the crack continues below the gum line.
Restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down.
Cover a dental implant
Cover and support a tooth with a large filling, where little natural tooth remains, preventing fractures
Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
Cover a severely discolored tooth
Make cosmetic modifications to teeth

While a crown covers a single existing tooth, a bridge is used to fill the space created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is one or more artificial teeth that are cemented into place using the teeth on either side of a missing tooth for support, replacing the missing tooth, both functionally and cosmetically.

Both crowns and bridges can offer a patient a very natural cosmetic solution as well as complete functionality.
