Dental crowns are used to restore teeth that are heavily damaged by cavities, fractures, or severe wear. A crown is much like a cap that goes over the top of the tooth and replaces the lost or damaged enamel. A crown can help to protect a weakened tooth and prevent further breakdown.
Dental Bridges in Aston, PA
A dental bridge is similar to a crown but usually serves a different purpose. Although bridges can serve to repair and protect badly broken down teeth, its primary purpose is to replace missing teeth. A bridge is 3 or more crowns that are made as one piece in order to replace a missing tooth or teeth in the middle. At least one tooth on either side of a missing tooth is needed to support a bridge. The bridge is then cemented in place.
