Crowns and Bridges

Crowns and most bridges are fixed prosthetic devices, cemented onto existing teeth or implants, and can only be removed by a dentist.

A crown is used to entirely cover or cap a damaged tooth. Its purpose is to strengthen a damaged tooth, and can be used to also improve its appearance, shape or alignment.

A crown may be recommended to:

Replace large fillings when there isn’t enough tooth remaining
Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
Restore a fractured tooth
Attach a bridge
Cover a dental implant
Cover a poorly shaped or discolored tooth
Cover a tooth that has had root canal work

A bridge may be recommended when you’re missing one or more teeth. Missing teeth can cause remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite which may lead to gum disease and joint disorders. Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space.
