Crowns and Bridges

Remember, your smile speaks before you even say a word!
Crowns and Bridges
Unlike dentures that can be removed, crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices attached to existing teeth or implants and can only be inserted and detached by a dentist. They are durable, lasting many years, however, from time to time they may loosen, fall out or break. Brushing twice a day, flossing, getting regular check-ups and deep cleaning and avoiding hard foods will provide longevity for your crowns or bridges.
Crowns
A missing tooth can make you feel unattractive and self-conscious. A dental crown or cap as it is sometimes called is a quick and easy alternative to fill in the gap and rebuild your confidence. Made from ceramic or porcelain, a crown is manufactured to look like your existing tooth.
Bridges
It’s difficult to eat and speak properly with missing teeth. It’s natural to compensate by adjusting the way food is chewed and this eventually causes wear and possible loss of healthy teeth. A dental bridge works by bridging the space left by missing teeth encouraging correct chewing and preventing further movement of teeth. Created from state-of-the-art materials, bridges are connected to artificial teeth that blend in with your own teeth to deliver a completely natural look.
