When a tooth exhibits moderate to severe destruction such as a large filling with recurrent decay or extensive wear, a crown, also known as a cap, gives you the strength, beauty, translucency and feel of a natural tooth. Made from a variety of materials, your prosthodontist can help determine the correct crown for your mouth.
When teeth are missing and there are natural teeth on either side of the missing area, a traditional solution is a permanent bridge. This type of restoration has been successful for decades. Bridges are just one of several ways of replacing missing teeth. In some cases, cemented bridgework is the most beautiful and functional way to replace missing teeth.
From implants to permanent bridges, you have several options to replace missing teeth and blend them with your natural teeth. Using advanced materials and tooth-color matching techniques, your Prosthodontist can recommend the appropriate method for optimal function and esthetics.
