Crowns and bridges are dental treatments used to restore the look and function of missing teeth. The prosthetic devices are custom-made to match the look and feel of your existing teeth. Their strength and durability allow them to function just like normal teeth, restoring healthy bite function.
Our dentists can create durable, natural-looking dental prosthetics to help you smile, and eat with confidence.
Severely cracked, broken or decayed teeth can be restored with dental crowns. The crown acts as a protective cap that is bonded to the tooth. Once in place, the tooth structure is restored along with bite function and appearance.
The process involves preparing the tooth and includes shaping the tooth for an optimal bond between tooth and crown. Depending on your condition, this may also include a root canal treatment if an underlying infection is present.
Bridges are dental prosthetics that replace one or more missing teeth. As the name suggests, the bridge will span between 2 or more anchor implants and serves to restore the dental arch. Dental bridges are permanently fixed in place using dental implants.

Generally speaking, treatment occurs over multiple appointments and depends on the condition of your teeth. Initially, the focus is on treating any damage or decay and ensuring the remaining teeth are suitable to support the bridge.
The final stages include the preparation of the supporting teeth and bonding of the crowns. Dental implants may be recommended if your dentist can't securely mount the bridge to existing teeth.
Thorough oral hygiene will ensure your crowns and bridges last as long as possible. Brushing twice a day, flossing regularly and regular professional cleaning will keep them looking bright for many years.
Our dentists also recommend avoiding hard and sticky foods to prevent premature damage.
Crown and bridge prosthetics are well suited to replacing a missing tooth or teeth. Provided the supporting teeth are healthy, a dental crown and bridge may be a suitable treatment for you.
