What are Crowns and Bridges?
Porcelain Crowns
When tooth enamel is weak or damaged, a tooth-shaped cap called a crown can be placed over the existing tooth. A crown will protect and restore it to its correct size, shape and strength, as well as improve overall appearance. Porcelain is one of the most durable materials used in dental restorations, and they are customized to match your exact tooth shape and color.
Porcelain Bridges
In instances where teeth are missing, replacing absent teeth can help maintain the functionality of your bite and restore the natural beauty of your smile. This dental prosthetic can be customized to match the exact shape and color of your existing teeth for seamless treatment and natural looking results. It consists of dental crowns on the remaining natural teeth, with a false tooth attached/bridged in between them. This single unit prosthesis is cemented onto the remaining teeth on each side of the missing tooth, filling the space; allowing proper chewing. Additionally, this also prevents other teeth from drifting into the space of the missing tooth, which would only cause further problems over time.
