Crowns are a restoration used to strengthen a tooth or improve a tooth’s shape. Crowns are most often used for teeth that are broken, worn, or partially destroyed by tooth decay. Crowns are “cemented” onto an existing tooth and fully cover the portion of your tooth above the gum line. In effect, the crown becomes your tooth’s new outer surface. Crowns can be made of porcelain, gold, or both and are created in a lab from your unique tooth impression. Your crown is then sculpted just for you so that your bite and jaw movements function normally once the crown is placed.

A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Your bridge can be made from porcelain, gold, or a combination of these materials. The success of any bridge depends on its foundation; therefore it’s very important to keep your existing teeth, gums, and jaw healthy and strong with daily homecare and routine dental cleanings and exams.
