Dental bridges are a reliable way to replace one or more missing teeth and restore the appearance and function of your smile. A bridge uses replacement teeth that are supported by the surrounding teeth or dental implants, depending on your individual needs. Carefully designed to blend with your natural teeth, a dental bridge can help fill gaps and give you a more complete, confident smile.
A dental crown is a protective cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often used to safeguard a weakened tooth from breaking, repair a broken tooth, or cover a tooth that has undergone a root canal treatment. Made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these, crowns are custom-crafted to match the contours of your natural tooth and blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth. The process involves preparing the tooth, taking an impression, and placing a temporary crown until the permanent one is ready. Once fitted, dental crowns offer a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing solution for damaged teeth.
Crowns restore the shape and structure of damaged teeth, helping you eat and chew more comfortably.
A well-designed crown can be matched to your surrounding teeth for a discreet and natural-looking smile.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, a quality dental crown can provide reliable protection for many years.
