What Are Crowns and Bridges?
Crowns act as a “cap” that covers a tooth for added protection. They are composed of porcelain and zirconia materials to match the natural color of your teeth.
Bridges utilize similar porcelain and zirconia materials, but they literally “bridge” the gap between two or more missing teeth.
Am I a Candidate?
You may be a candidate if you are experiencing:
- Decayed teeth
- Broken teeth
- Worn-down teeth
- Post-root canal treatment
- Aesthetic treatment
The Process
An impression of your teeth will be taken to create crowns and bridges customized to your mouth and neighboring teeth. You will be provided with a temporary crown/bridge until the finalized version arrives.
Our specialist will numb the area with local anesthesia while your teeth are reshaped and rid of decay. The finalized crown or bridge will be cemented into place for a permanent, beautiful smile again!
