Prosthodontics
Dental crown & bridge
A crown caps a damaged tooth; a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using adjacent teeth as support.
When this is typically needed
- A significantly damaged or weakened tooth
- One or more missing teeth
- Large filling needing more structural support
What it involves
Preparation of the tooth/teeth, an impression, and fitting of the custom-made crown or bridge over two or more visits.
What to expect
A temporary restoration is worn while the permanent one is made, typically over one to two weeks.
