What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-fabricated cap that covers and protects a weakened or damaged tooth. Crowns are often recommended when:
- A tooth has a large filling
- A crack threatens structural integrity
- A root canal has been completed
- Severe wear has occurred
- Cosmetic improvement is desired
Crowns restore strength while preserving the remaining healthy tooth structure.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants. It helps:
- Restore chewing ability
- Maintain facial structure
- Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting
- Improve speech clarity
For implant-supported options, you may also explore our Dentures & Partials or broader restorative services.
