Whether you’re looking to restore a damaged tooth or fill in gaps from missing teeth, our experienced team is here to help you achieve your perfect smile.
Dental crowns and bridges are versatile solutions for various dental challenges, including the restoration of damaged teeth and the replacement of missing ones. A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a decayed or damaged tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance while protecting it from further harm.
On the other hand, dental bridges are designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) supported by crowns on adjacent natural teeth, effectively restoring your smile’s aesthetics and preventing neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.
