Crowns and Bridges

Crowns

Clean, durable white crowns are caps that cover a tooth fully and extend its life many years. Crowns are used to:

• Protect a tooth that has been weakened by injury
• Strengthen a tooth after a root canal
• Restore a broken or chipped tooth
• Improve the shape or coloring of a tooth

While crowns are usually white porcelain to match other teeth, they may also be made of gold. 

Bridges

Bridges are fixed restorations that replace one or more missing teeth. A well-made bridge that is properly cared for can last for many years. 

As well as completing a smile, a bridge offers other benefits:

• Maintaining the proper spacing of natural teeth
• Preserving the youthful fullness of a patient’s face
• Preventing teeth on either side of the gap from being stressed by biting and chewing
• Enabling a patient to speak and eat normally

If you’re missing any teeth, please speak to us about a bridge. In just a couple of visits to our office, we can complete your smile with a durable dental bridge.
