What are Crowns & Bridges?
- Crowns: A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are ideal for protecting weakened teeth, covering dental implants, and improving the look of discolored or misshapen teeth.
- Bridges: A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth. Bridges fill the gap created by missing teeth, restoring your smile and maintaining the proper alignment of your remaining teeth.
