Our Services | Crown & Bridge
Chances are you're having a crown, a number of crowns or a permanent
bridge designed. To ensure the most aesthetic and functional results
possible, your cooperation and understanding are especially important.
In this brochure, we'll take you step-by-step through the crown and
bridge treatment. We encourage you to ask questions along the way.
Crown and bridge treatment will restore lost teeth, support remaining
teeth and help you maintain optimum dental health.
If you're faced with tooth loss, crown and bridge treatment may be
the right restorative option for you. This long-term solution can help
prevent the cycle of problems that can occur when just one tooth is
missing, such as shifting of the remaining teeth, decay, periodontal
disease and bone loss, We provide this brochure to help you understand
why restoration through crown and bridge treatment is so important, and
what the procedure involves.

What Is a Crown?
A crown-sometimes called a "cap"-is a tooth-like covering placed over
a carefully prepared existing tooth, Used to strengthen, restore or
improve the appearance of your natural tooth, a crown is placed on an
individual tooth much like a thimble over your finger, Crowns serve many
functions in addition to being used to strengthen a tooth to accommodate
the attachment of a fixed bridge. One of the most common is to support
the tooth when there is no longer sufficient tooth structure left to
place a filling. Crowns may also be used to protect the structure of a
tooth that is fractured or broken.
