A crown is used to entirely cover or “cap” a damaged tooth. Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can be used to improve its appearance, shape or alignment. A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function. Porcelain or ceramic crowns can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth. Other materials include gold and metal alloys, acrylic and ceramic. The alloys are generally stronger than porcelain and may be recommended for back teeth. Porcelain bonded to a metal shell is often used because it is both strong and attractive.
If you want to bring back the fullness in your smile, dental bridges may be the solution you’ve been searching for. Dental bridges are custom-made to match your natural teeth and offer a seamless and cosmetically appealing solution if you’re seeking to fill the gaps left by missing teeth. As well as for aesthetics, dental bridges restore functionality, by aiding you in proper chewing and speech so you can enjoy your favourite foods and laugh and talk freely.
