Dental Crowns And Bridges
DENTAL CROWN & BRIDGE
Crowns and bridges are a fixed solution to missing or damaged teeth. This restorative procedure uses prosthetic devices to return your smile to its natural state.
A crown is used when the tooth structure is damaged or fractured. A bridge is used when one or more teeth are missing.
A dental bridge is a false tooth that is held in place by the abutment teeth on either side of the gap. Although bridge can be made from a variety of materials such as gold, typically they’re made from porcelain to aesthetically blend in with your natural teeth.
