Dental Crowns & Bridges

Crowns

A crown is simply a tooth-shaped restoration that covers all or most of the natural tooth above the gumline. Crowns are usually considered when a filling reaches the end of its life or when a tooth is heavily damaged. A crown protects and strengthens the tooth and is created and colored to match not only the natural color of surrounding teeth, but toproperly fit the bite.

Bridges

Another popular method for replacing one or more missing teeth is with a fixed bridge. A bridge is used in conjunction with adjacent, existing teeth, filling in the open space with natural looking teeth. A bridge can replace anywhere from one tooth to as many as ten teeth.
