How Do Crowns and Bridges Work?

There may be a time when a tooth that has been heavily filled or badly decayed is too weak to survive just with a filling. Root canals, lost fillings, decay, chipping, and cracking of the enamel are all structural problems that can occur on a tooth's surface. Choosing the right material and placing a crown properly will provide your tooth with strength, durability, and stability for many years.

Dental crowns are typically used to restore teeth, but they're also used for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of your teeth. In addition to strengthening a root-treated tooth, they are also useful in treating cavities.

Crowns are used to replace missing teeth, which are known as bridges. These crowns are anchored to the teeth on either side of the space, with a bridge section connecting the two crowns.

In dentistry, a bridge replaces a missing tooth with crowns. A bridge section connects the two crowns, which are anchored to the teeth on either side of the space.

With advances in materials and technology, porcelain bridges have become extremely strong and durable. Using a porcelain bridge, our dentists can match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
