Do you have severely damaged or missing teeth? Dental crowns and bridges might be the most suitable dental restorations for you.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth. Dental crowns are used to restore and protect damaged teeth. Some dentists may recommend crowns for cosmetic reasons. For example, dental crowns can be used to cover misshapen, discolored, or poorly aligned teeth.

Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth for functional and aesthetic purposes. The bridge helps to maintain facial structure and oral function and prevents other teeth from shifting out of place.
