Understanding Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover and protect weakened, cracked, or heavily restored teeth. Bridges use one or more crowns to support a false tooth or multiple teeth, filling gaps left by missing teeth. Both options are designed to restore function and aesthetics, helping you maintain a healthy, balanced bite.
Crowns and bridges are recommended for patients who:
• Have a cracked, broken, or worn-down tooth
• Need protection after a root canal
• Have a large filling with little natural tooth remaining
• Have missing teeth and want a fixed alternative to dentures
• Want to prevent other teeth from shifting or maintain bite alignment
Benefits of Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges offer both functional and cosmetic advantages, giving you a strong, comfortable, and natural-looking smile. Early treatment can prevent further damage, maintain oral health, and enhance confidence.
Key benefits include:
• Restores strength and structure to damaged teeth
• Improves chewing, speaking, and overall comfort
• Prevents surrounding teeth from shifting
• Enhances your smile with natural aesthetics
• Long-lasting results with proper care
