dental crowns
A dental crown is a cap, placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength and improve its appearance.
Crowns are often recommended for protecting a weak tooth from breaking or restoring a broken or severely worn-down tooth.
They are also used to cover a dental implant, holding a dental bridge in place or for aesthetic purposes to correct misshaped or discolored teeth.
They're usually made from materials like metals, porcelain, resin or ceramics. Crowns can last for many years with proper care.
FIXED BRIDGES
Fixed bridges are a common dental restoration method that we use to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. The most common involves creating a crown for the teeth on either side of the missing tooth or teeth and placing a false tooth or teeth in between.
We also use implant-supported bridges which is the same principle but use dental implants for support instead of natural teeth. They are aesthetically pleasing, function like natural teeth, and can last many years with proper care.
