CROWNS
Dental crowns also known as "caps," the can preserve the
functionality of damaged teeth by encasing the teeth. Crowns may
be used to
Protect a cracked tooth
Restore functionality of a tooth with
excessive decay
Replace a pre-existing crown.
Crowns can be made from gold, tooth coloured
porcelain or other materials.
During the crown procedure, your dentist
prepares the tooth and makes a moulded impression of the teeth to
send to the dental laboratory. A fitted, temporary crown is
created during this visit to temporarily protect the tooth while
the final restoration is being made in the dental laboratory. Once
completed, the crown is cemented or adhesively bonded at a later
visit.
BRIDGES
A dental bridge is a custom-made appliance used to replace one or
more missing teeth, and is supported by adjacent teeth or by a
dental implant. A dental bridge looks completely natural and
is shaded to match the colour of your existing teeth.
