Crown and Bridge Treatment
If you have a missing or damaged tooth, then a dental crown or bridge could be a solution. Dental crowns and bridges are prosthetic devices that are bonded or anchored in your mouth. Unlike dentures, you cannot remove them.
A dental crown acts as a substitute for the outer layer of your natural teeth, it is placed over the areas of the remaining tooth and acts to strengthen, protect, and enhance the functionality and appearance of your mouth. Your dentist may recommend a crown to:
- Restore a damaged tooth
- Prevent further damage
- Finish a dental implant
- Cover a tooth that has had a root canal treatment
- For cosmetic reasons such as a discoloured or misshapen tooth
- As an attachment point for a bridge
Bridges anchor crowns on the surrounding teeth, filling the gap between them to improve your oral health and smile. Your dentist may recommend a bridge to:
- Replace one or more missing teeth
- Enhance your smile
- Stop teeth from moving out of place
- Restore function to your teeth
