Crowns & Bridges

What Is A Bridge?

A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth and bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. A tooth is usually required on either side of the space where the bridge is supported.

At the first appointment, the supporting teeth are altered for the bridge and a mold is made. A temporary plastic bridge is then made which is cemented in place until the final bridge has been made by a technician using the mold.

We are proud to give you the highest quality in crown and bridge treatment from our in-house dental laboratory.

At the second appointment, the bridge is fitted into place, the color of the bridge, shape, and bite are checked before it is cemented into place.

Without a bridge, your other teeth can slowly shift out of their natural position, leading to potential future problems with your bite. 

What Is A Crown?

A crown, also called a cap, is a hollow, artificial tooth used to cover a damaged or decayed tooth. The crown restores the tooth and protects it from further damage. Crowns can also be used to cover a discolored or misshapen tooth.

A tooth that has been fixed with a crown looks and works very much like a natural tooth. Teeth can require crowns for a variety of reasons; fracture, decay, weak large fillings, discoloration, esthetics, and some teeth with root canals.  A crown is placed over a tooth and therefore, a certain amount of the original tooth must be removed to provide space for the crown to restore the tooth to its proper size and shape.
