What Are Crowns & Bridges?

Crowns & bridges are dental restorations that are designed to improve the look and function of your smile. These treatments can aid in replacing lost teeth and restoring weakened ones to enhance overall dental health.

Crowns Overview

• Usage: Dental crowns or caps are often used to cover damaged or decayed teeth to recover their shape, size, strength, and appearance. They can also attach to bridges to protect fragile teeth from breaking or repair teeth that are already broken.
• Process: After treating any decay or damaged parts of the tooth, impressions are taken for a custom crown. A temporary crown is set while the permanent one is made in a dental lab. The final crown is then bonded to the tooth and may provide long-term durability and protection.

Bridges Overview

• Usage: Dental bridges can replace missing teeth with prosthetic teeth to literally bridge the gap where one or a few teeth used to be. They can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of each.
• Process: If your smile has healthy teeth on either side of the missing gap left by the tooth, the healthy teeth may be strategically filed down to prepare for the bridge. When teeth are not healthy enough to support a bridge, dental implants may be placed to anchor the bridge in place.

Age Groups For Crowns & Bridges

Patients of all ages can benefit from crowns & bridges, including older adults looking for solutions for missing teeth and teenagers in need of restorative care for teeth that have been damaged. Throughout life, these dental procedures may effectively revamp smiles and restore oral health.
