What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is an artificial cap that’s placed over your natural tooth. There are multiple reasons why you would need a dental crown, with one being using it as an anchor for a bridge. Some other common reasons include root canals, dental implants, and repairing a damaged tooth.
Before we create a crown, we’ll need to create an impression of your smile so we can customize it to fit comfortably. Once that’s finished, the dentist will send it off to be manufactured. The dentist will need to shape the tooth to serve as a base for the crown. Then he will securely place it.
What is a Dental Bridge?
Once the dental crowns are placed over the surrounding teeth next to the gap, we will insert an artificial tooth and permanently connect it to the crowns. This provides a sturdy restoration without the need for surgery. This new tooth literally bridges the gap between your natural teeth.
