What are Crowns?

Dental crowns are a common dental treatment used to restore a damaged tooth. They’re constructed to look exactly like your natural teeth and function just as well. The crown is created by slipping a tooth-shaped cap over your existing tooth, covering the entire surface. Crowns are often used to repair a tooth’s size, shape, strength, or appearance. With the help of advanced dental technology and techniques, getting a dental crown is a relatively quick and painless procedure that can help restore your confidence in your smile.

Crowns may be insert for a variety of uses:

• Worn down or broken teeth
• Covering a tooth with a large filling
• Covering a tooth after a root canal
• Replacing discolored or misshapen teeth

What are Bridges?

Missing teeth can cause embarrassment, as well as difficulty when eating or speaking. Fortunately, bridges are a great option for those who need to replace missing teeth. A bridge is typically made up of two crowns that are attached to the teeth on either side of the gap, along with one or more false teeth that bridge the gap. This creates a stable and durable solution that functions like natural teeth. Not only do bridges restore your smile, but they can also preserve the shape of your face and prevent other teeth from shifting. This dental procedure can be a game-changer for those who have lost a tooth or multiple teeth, restoring their smile in a natural-looking way. Not only does it enhance the appearance of your smile, but it can also improve chewing and speech, making day-to-day activities easier and more comfortable.
