No matter how strong they look, your teeth are still vulnerable to breakage and damage, especially if not properly cared for. If, for any reason, one or more teeth that are damaged and do not look like your other healthy teeth, we can restore them using a dental crown.
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth to cover it, restoring its size, shape, and strength, and improving its appearance. When cemented in place, the crown will fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. When you use a high-quality dental crown, nobody would suspect that your original tooth is actually broken.
A dental bridge, on the other hand, is a permanent dental device that is designed to “bridge” the space in between teeth and fill in the gap caused by a lost tooth. A dental bridge is often used together with a crown, improving your smile and your ability to speak, chew, and eat food properly. There are several types of dental bridges available like porcelain fused to metal,all ceramic and zirconia crowns and bridges. Our dentists will help you identify the best choice that perfectly matches your condition, preference, and budget.
