Description:
Crowns
Crown is a permanent covering, set over the original tooth, to reinforce it when the tooth is fractured or there is too much decay for the tooth to be filled. Crowns can made of ceramic porcelain, gold or a precious metal with a porcelain coating.
Bridges
A bridge is a permanent prosthetic that fills the space when a tooth has been removed. A typical bridge consists of a pontic (a filler tooth) that is cemented to the two adjacent abutments (crowns). If a bridge is not introduced, spaces in the mouth from missing teeth can cause multiple teeth to shift sometimes with the loss of more teeth, lead to occlusion (biting) and/or jaw problems and prompt periodontal disease. Bridges protect the integrity of existing teeth and help maintain a healthy, vibrant smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants may be an effective long-term solutionor individuals who wish to replace missing teeth. Implants ensure greater structural support and last longer than either bridges or dentures. Implants serve as the artificial root to which new teeth are bonded. They are usually constructed of titanium, a strong and safe material that effectively attaches to bone.
