What Are Dental Crowns & Bridges?

Dental crowns are made with porcelain, metal, or zirconia materials and can be placed over an existing tooth to protect, strengthen, and/or update its appearance. They are also placed on top of an implant to restore a patient’s smile. Dental bridges are made with porcelain, metal, or ceramic materials and designed to replace one or more teeth that are missing. They are anchored to adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants.

What Dental Issues Can These Restorations Address?

• Absent Teeth: Dental bridges replace missing teeth by filling gaps and enhancing the smile's function and appearance.
• Tooth Decay: Dental crowns can be a great solution for teeth that have suffered extensive decay, offering protection and reinforcement to prevent further damage.
• Root-Canal Treated Teeth: Place a dental crown on a tooth that’s been treated with root canal therapy is vital to ensure it provides a protective barrier against bacteria buildup, potential infections, and more.

Who Is A Candidate For Crowns & Bridges?

Although each patient is unique, people experiencing one or more of the following issues may be candidates:
• Patients with one or more missing teeth
• Individuals with significantly decayed teeth
• Patients looking to update the shape and size of one or more of their teeth.
