Bridges and Crowns are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto
existing teeth or implants by a dentist or prosthodontist. Crowns are used
most commonly to entirely cover or “cap” a damaged tooth or cover an
implant. Bridges are commonly used to cover a space if you’re missing one or
more teeth. They are cemented to natural teeth or implants surrounding the
space where the tooth once stood. Benefits of BRIDGES & CROWNS
In addition to strengthening a damaged tooth, bridges and crowns can be
used to improve a tooth’s appearance, shape, alignment and dental occlusion
(bite). Gaps left by missing teeth can cause the remaining teeth to shift, which
can result in a bad bite. Bridges and crowns help prevent this from happening.
