A crown (or cap) is a covering made to restore a tooth back to health & function. When teeth are
damaged from decay, weak from large old fillings, worn or broken down, crowns can be used to
give you back healthy functional teeth.
Crowns can be made out of porcelain, all ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, porcelain fuse to
gold, porcelain fuse to zirconium, or full gold. An examination will determine which option will be
the best for you.
The most common way to replace missing teeth is to have a bridge placed. A false tooth is made
and attached to two porcelain crowns made for the natural teeth that are on either side of the
space where the tooth is missing. These crowns and the false tooth are one piece and are fixed
over the natural teeth ~ unlike a denture, bridges are not removable. A bridge will not only help
with appearance and function but can also allow other teeth to last longer by reducing the stress
put on them when a tooth or teeth are missing.
Bridges can be used to replace teeth that are missing from any place in your mouth as long as the
teeth that would be used to anchor the bridge are healthy and strong.
