Crowns & Bridges
Crowns and bridges are restorative treatments designed to rebuild strength and function. Crowns reinforce damaged teeth, while bridges replace one or more missing teeth to support a stable bite.
What crowns and bridges are
A crown is a protective covering placed over a tooth to restore shape, strength, and function. A bridge replaces missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth or to implants, helping restore chewing function and alignment.
When crowns or bridges may be recommended
Crowns may be recommended when a tooth is weakened by decay, fracture, or prior treatment such as a root canal. Bridges may be recommended when a tooth is missing and replacement is needed to support function and spacing. Depending on your situation, we may also discuss alternatives such as dental implants or dentures.
What to expect
Treatment planning includes evaluating tooth structure, bite forces, and long-term predictability. We will review the recommended option and the expected timeline, then finalize the restoration to support comfort and function.
