A dental crown is a cap that has been designed to look, feel, and function just like a natural tooth. The dental crown is placed directly on top of the affected tooth, providing protection and strength for the tooth. We use tooth-colored materials when creating dental crowns to ensure they blend with your natural smile. Prior to receiving your dental crown, tooth structure, and enamel must be removed for the best fit.
A dental bridge is basically a “bridge” made from prosthetic teeth that are attached to adjacent teeth covered with dental crowns or secured using dental implants. A dental bridge can be used to replace one or several teeth in a row and is designed to blend with the rest of your smile.
