Are you seeking the key to a more confident smile and enhanced oral health? At our practice, we are skilled in the art and science of dental crowns and bridges, two transformative solutions that can restore the beauty and functionality of your teeth.
What are Dental Crowns & Bridges?
Dental crowns, also known as dental caps, are custom-made restorations that cover and encase a damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised tooth. They serve a dual purpose of enhancing the tooth's strength and appearance. These tooth-shaped "caps" are meticulously crafted to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and attractive restoration.
Dental bridges are fixed dental appliances used to replace missing teeth by bridging the gap created by one or more absent teeth. They consist of two main components: dental crowns, placed on the natural teeth on either side of the gap, and one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, which fill the space left by the missing teeth.
What are the benefits of Dental Crowns & Bridges?
-
Restoration of Functionality: Dental crowns and bridges restore the ability to chew and speak properly, which can be compromised by damaged or missing teeth.
-
Aesthetic Enhancement: Dental crowns and bridges improve the appearance of the smile by concealing imperfections, filling gaps, and replacing missing teeth, enhancing overall facial aesthetics.
-
Prevention of Shifting: Dental bridges prevent adjacent natural teeth from shifting into the gap left by missing teeth, preventing misalignment and bite problems.
-
Distribution of Bite Force: Crowns and bridges evenly distribute bite forces across the abutment teeth, reducing the strain on individual teeth.

Protection of Weakened Teeth: Crowns provide protection and strength to weakened or damaged teeth, preventing further decay or fractures.
