Advantages of Crown and Bridge Treatment
What is a crown?
A crown, sometimes called a “cap”, is a replication of your tooth placed over a carefully prepared existing tooth. Crowns can serve multiple functions. It can support a tooth that no longer has a sufficient structure left to place a filing. Crowns can also be used to protect the structure of a tooth that is fractured or broken.
What is a bridge?
A bridge is a series of “crowns” anchored to neighboring teeth that replaces one or more missing teeth. When a lost tooth is replaced with bridge work, the teeth on either side of the missing one must be prepared as crowns to serve as abutments to hold the prosthetic (replacement teeth) in place.
