Crowns and Bridges

Description

Crowns are an ideal way to restore teeth that have been broken or heavily filled. A crown can be placed for a number of reasons:

  • You would like to improve the appearance of a tooth.

  • You may have had a root filling, which makes the tooth more brittle, so it may be recommended to have a crown to protect the tooth from breaking.

  • A fixed bridge can be created to replace a missing tooth or teeth. It is only possible if the surrounding teeth are strong enough with good bone support.
