Crowns & Bridges 

Dental crowns & bridge are restorations that protect damaged, cracked or broken down teeth. A crown strengthens your existing, damaged tooth so as to preserve its functionality. Dental crowns are also commonly known as caps because a crown sits over your existing tooth, covering the entire outer surface.

Why might I need crowns?

If your tooth has undergone significant decay and there is not enough tooth structure remaining to support a filling or an inlay and maintain functionality.

If a large portion of your tooth has fractured and it cannot be built up.

If you have a large cavity and opt for the additional protection.

Following root canal treatment, a crown is often needed to strengthen the tooth.
