DENTAL CROWNS & BRIDGES
What is a Crown?
A crown is also known as a dental cap because it caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant and is often needed when a large cavity threatens the health of an existing tooth.
A crown is a custom-designed cap – a tooth-shaped cover – which fits over your broken, worn or unsupported tooth. It is attached with longevity in mind, so the tooth is protected. You only need to maintain a healthy oral habit of brushing and flossing every day.
What is a Bridge?
A bridge connects one tooth to another across a gap or missing tooth space. Another way to think of a dental bridge is as a large crown that extends from one tooth to another.
With the right daily oral care, a bridge will provide you with strong support and last for more than 15 years.
