Comprehensive dentistry includes repairing damaged teeth and replacing missing teeth so that patients can eat and smile with confidence. Two restorative treatments we offer are dental crowns and dental bridges. While the procedure for crown and bridge restorations are similar, they serve two different purposes.
Dental Crowns to Repair and Protect Teeth
Dental decay and damage can destabilise a tooth and put it at risk. When possible, we strive to repair natural teeth, as it is typically the most affordable and least complicated way to protect oral health.
Dental crowns offer a solution after damage from advanced decay or fractures or to rebuild worn teeth. Unlike dental fillings, crowns cover the entire structure of the tooth and protect it from the forces caused by chewing.
The appropriate material for the dental crown depends on the patient’s bite and the location of the crown. Many patients prefer tooth-coloured restorations for front teeth since they are visible when you smile. In some cases, porcelain and metal blends or full gold crowns will offer greater longevity on molars.
