Crown and Bridges

Crowns and bridges are fixed dental prostheses, meaning that they are cemented into place and cannot be removed. Crowns are primarily used to protect teeth that have become damaged as a result of trauma or decay, while bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. Crowns are composed of a single “cap” that is cemented over a damaged tooth, while bridges are composed of a series of crowns. Bridges are cemented to the remaining teeth and span over the spaces left by missing teeth.
