Crowns & Bridges
Crowns
A crown is a custom-made ceramic cap that is placed over a natural tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are recommended in the following situations:
- Extensive tooth damage: When a tooth has been severely affected by decay or cavities, making it too damaged for a filling.
- Fractured tooth: If a tooth has been cracked or broken due to injury or trauma.
- Severe discoloration: A tooth is deeply discolored and cannot be effectively treated with whitening procedures.
- Post-root canal treatment: To protect a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy, since it may become more fragile over time.
Bridges
A bridge is a dental restoration that replaces a missing tooth by anchoring it to the
surrounding teeth. A bridge may be recommended in the following situations:
- Replacement of an old bridge: If an existing bridge is worn or damaged and needs to be replaced.
- Protection of adjacent teeth: When the teeth next to the missing space are damaged, they would benefit from the protection of a bridge.
- Implants are not suitable: If dental implants are not an option due to medical or anatomical reasons.
