Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, also called caps, fit snugly over teeth to mask chips, broken teeth, misalignment, stains, and other imperfections. Porcelain crowns can immediately enhance your smile by brightening your teeth and making them much stronger. A dental crown looks like a normal tooth and is now ideal for use on all teeth.
Dental Bridges
Sometimes, more extensive work is needed to help you achieve your ideal smile. Bridgework is an excellent solution to missing teeth. Dental bridges are one or more porcelain teeth, which are fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. The two dental crowns holding it in place are attached onto your teeth on each side of the dental bridge.
