Crowns, dentures, and bridges

Crowns, Dentures, and Bridges

Restorative dentistry focuses on rebuilding teeth that are damaged or replacing teeth that are missing. These treatments help maintain proper bite alignment and prevent other teeth from shifting.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are used when a tooth is broken, severely decayed, or has had a large filling or root canal treatment. The crown covers the entire visible part of the tooth above the gum line.

Crowns restore the tooth’s strength, shape, and function. They are made from strong materials such as porcelain or metal, and they are designed to match the natural color of your teeth. With proper care, crowns can last many years.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth held in place by crowns attached to the teeth on either side of the gap. The bridge fills the empty space and restores normal chewing and speaking ability.

Bridges also help prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of position. This helps maintain proper bite alignment and jaw function.

Dentures

Dentures are removable appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. There are two main types: partial dentures and full dentures.

Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Full dentures are used when all teeth are missing in one or both arches. Dentures help restore the ability to chew and speak clearly. They also provide support to the facial muscles, helping maintain facial structure.

All crowns, bridges, and dentures are custom-made to fit comfortably and function properly. We provide clear instructions on how to care for them to ensure long-term use and good oral health.
