How do crowns and bridges work?

Dental crowns and bridges help restore one’s ability to chew, speak and smile with more comfort and ease.

Dental Crowns  

Dental crowns restore damaged or weakened teeth. They encase the entire tooth structure above the gum line, providing strength and protection. Crowns can be particularly beneficial for teeth that have extensive decay, fractures or have had root canal treatment. Made from various materials, including porcelain, metal or a combination of both, our custom-made dental crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth. They’re anchored to the adjacent teeth, known as abutment teeth, and provide stability and support. The replacement tooth, or pontic, fills the gap left by the missing tooth. Bridges restore your bite, maintain the shape of your face and prevent other teeth from shifting out of position.

Inlays and Onlays 

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that fit into or cover the affected areas of a tooth. They're similar to crowns, but they're a more conservative approach to treating cavities or damage.
