A picture of Crowns and Bridges

Bridges and crowns are devices that fit over the existing tooth or implant and are cemented in place, by a dentist. Gaps left by a missing tooth can not only cause the remaining teeth to shift, but it can also lead to gum diseases and TMJ disorders.

    What Are Crowns & Bridges?

    Crowns and bridges offer a permanent solution for restoring missing or damaged teeth, providing a natural function and appearance. These sturdy, secure restorations not only improve your facial appearance but also enhance chewing and speaking abilities, making daily activities more comfortable. By filling gaps, crowns and bridges help prevent bone loss and protect against shifting teeth or gum disease.

    You won’t have to worry about any diet restrictions, as they allow you to enjoy all your favorite foods without concern. With no special care required, crowns and bridges seamlessly integrate into your dental routine and can be updated or changed as needed, ensuring long-term oral health and aesthetics.

    Dental Crowns

    A dental crown is a cap that fits over the prepared tooth and is cemented in place. Crowns can be made from resins, metal alloys, or porcelain fused to metal. Porcelain and resin crowns are made to look and feel like your natural tooth. Crowns are commonly used to cover or cap a damaged tooth or an implant. Your dentist may recommend a crown to:

    • Restore a large filling where there is insufficient tooth
    • Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
    • Restore a fractured tooth
    • Attach a bridge
    • Cover a dental implant
    • Cover a discolored or poorly shaped tooth
    • Cap a tooth that had a root canal
    Dental Bridges

    A Dental Bridge works to cover the space where the teeth are missing.  Bridges are cemented to natural teeth or implants surrounding the space. Bridges are mostly used if you’re missing a tooth or more.

    The bridge consists of a crown for each tooth on either side of the gap. Attached to the crowns are artificial teeth, to replace the missing teeth that create the gap. The bridge is a non-removable prosthetic that restores your smile and the chewing or biting surface of missing teeth.
