About Bridges, Crowns, & Dentures

When teeth are missing, the following problems can occur:

Plaque builds up more easily as teeth crowd together resulting in tooth decay and periodontal disease.

If back teeth are lost, adjacent teeth can shift into vacant space.

Crowns and Bridges are long-term methods of replacing missing teeth.

In a fixed bridge, one or more artificial teeth are set between the crowns. The dentist shapes the natural teeth to receive the crowns and form the bridge.

They are made from superior merals such as precious metals, semi-precious, porcelain, or a combination.

Both aesthetics and function are considered when selecting the materal most suitable for you.

Crowns and bridges will maximize your smile, speech and chewing function.
