Crown and Bridge Treatment

Crown and bridge treatment will restore lost teeth, support remaining teeth and help you maintain optimum dental health.  If you’re faced with tooth loss, crown and bridge treatment may be the right restorative option for you.  This long-term solution can help prevent the cycle of problems that can occur when just one tooth is missing, such as shifting of the remaining teeth, decay, periodontal disease and bone loss.  

What Is a Crown?

A crown-sometimes called a “cap”- is a tooth-like covering placed over a carefully prepared existing tooth.  Used to strengthen, restore or improve the appearance of your natural tooth, a crown is placed on an individual tooth much like a thimble over your finger.  In addition to being used to strengthen a tooth to accommodate the attachment of a fixed bridge, crowns serve many functions.  One of the most common is to support the tooth when there is no longer sufficient tooth structure left to place a filling.  Crowns may also be used to protect the structure of a tooth that is fractures or broken.
