Dental Crowns and
Dental Bridges
Crowns are designed to completely cover your tooth. Bridges are a method of replacing a missing tooth by using the adjacent teeth to provide the support.
Dental crowns provide strength, and restore the tooth to its natural appearance and function. Crowns are a great solution for teeth that have been broken, or weakened by large fillings, or fractures. Dental bridges can replace one or several teeth and come in various materials and designs. A dental tooth bridge is ideal where implant surgery is not possible or not desired.
