If your teeth are damaged as a result of an infection, the structure itself can be preserved with a crown. Whenever possible, we will try to save the tooth even if it means covering it with a crown. When a tooth is removed, the underlying bone can deteriorate over time without stimulation that the tooth provides.
What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are caps that encircle the structure of a single tooth. Crowns serve as a restorative treatment meant to preserve a tooth that has been damaged by decay or as the visible component of a dental implant that resembles the appearance of a real tooth.
What are Dental Bridges?
Bridges are a fixed set of prosthetic teeth used to replace one or several missing teeth. These devices are anchored to your real teeth or implants by dental crowns, and like crowns, bridges also resemble the appearance and color of your natural teeth.
Do I Need Crowns and Bridges?
If your teeth are damaged as a result of an infection, the structure itself can be preserved with a crown. Whenever possible, we will try to save the tooth even if it means covering it with a crown because when a tooth is removed, the underlying bone can deteriorate over time without stimulation that the tooth provides.
Bridges on the other hand use crowns as anchors to replace missing teeth. These are an effective solution in cases in which multiple teeth have been compromised or have to be removed entirely.
