Restore Your Smile with Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges are common restorative dental treatments that can help restore the appearance and function of your smile. Whether you have a severely damaged tooth or missing teeth, crowns and bridges can provide long-lasting solutions that improve your teeth’ look and strength.
A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are usually done when a tooth is cracked, decayed, or compromised by a root canal procedure. The crown fits over the remaining tooth structure, providing protection and returning the tooth to its normal function. Crowns can be made of porcelain, ceramic, or metal, all chosen to match the colour and shape of your teeth closely.
On the other hand, a dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic replacement for one or more missing teeth. It has two crowns on adjacent healthy teeth and a replacement tooth, a pontic between them. The anchor is firmly secured to the remaining natural teeth. A functional and aesthetically pleasing solution to restore your smile, bridges are made of materials that are the same as those used for crowns.
If your teeth are broken or missing, restorations such as crowns and bridges are the way to restore your smile, your bite, and your confidence. Consult us about your options.
