What are Crowns & Bridges?
Crowns and bridges are both restorative dental treatments that can help to restore the normal appearance and function of your smile.
They can help you maintain your natural facial shape and can also fill space left by missing teeth. They can also return your ability to speak and chew properly.
Our dentists can help restore your smile and your oral health by repairing structural problems such as damaged or missing teeth using a dental crown or bridge.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are hollow, artificial teeth that are placed over an entire damaged or decayed tooth to restore its original size, shape, and colour. Dental crowns improve the appearance, function, and strength of a broken tooth that may otherwise be lost and need to be extracted.
Crowns are very strong and can be made from a variety of materials. They look and function like natural teeth, and with proper care, can last 10 years or more.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a dental restoration that 'bridges' a gap of missing teeth in your mouth. Made up of one or more artificial teeth, the bridge is affixed to the teeth on either side of the gap to fill the space.
Dental bridges are natural-looking and help to prevent your other teeth from shifting positions to fill the space, which could lead to more serious dental issues including gum disease and the need for more extensive dental work
