Crowns and Bridges

A dental crown is like a small cap that covers a tooth to protect it. It can be shaped and color-matched to make it look as much like your natural teeth as possible. You may need a crown if you have a tooth that: 

• Has a large cavity.
• Is decaying.
• Has been cracked or broken.
• Is severely misshapen or worn down.
  

A dental bridge is a tool used to bridge the gap between missing teeth without needing implants. For example, if you have one missing tooth between two natural teeth, our dentists can use a dental bridge to replace your missing tooth. 

The bridge will attach to the natural teeth on either side of the gap just like crowns. Between these two crowns will be a new tooth that is held in place by the crowns on either side of it. It is a simple solution to a missing tooth that does not require surgery.
