Dental Bridges & Crowns

When a tooth has severe enough damage from trauma, cracking, or decay, it can be impossible to repair the structure and stability of the tooth sufficiently with simple fillings. In these cases, when the nerve of the tooth is sound, the solution is often a full-tooth crown that replaces the top portion of the tooth. The crown procedure is a relatively simple process of removing tooth material and preparing (shaping) the tooth to receive a form-fitting crown. In most cases, the crown adds significant stability and restores lost functionality, like chewing. Today’s crown materials are very strong and virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth.
