Full Porcelain Crowns and Bridges

A dental crown is a “cap” that looks like a real tooth and is placed over a tooth, to cover the tooth for the purpose of restoring its shape and size, strength, and appearance.

Crowns are used for reconstructing damaged teeth or replacing missing teeth. While they can be manufactured out of different materials, the best material is dental porcelain. Compared with crowns made out of other materials, porcelain crowns are more stable, stronger and resemble natural teeth more closely.

You may need a dental crown if any of the following apply:

You have a weak tooth and you need a crown to keep it from breaking
You have a broken tooth that needs to be restored
You have a tooth with a large filling and you need a crown to keep the tooth together
You need a crown to hold a dental bridge in place
You need a crown to cover misshaped or severely discolored teeth
You need a crown to cover a dental implant

Porcelain crowns are strong covers made of porcelain that are used to reconstruct teeth that have suffered severe damage from a disease or trauma, but are still healthy. They are commonly used to reconstruct teeth that have been saved by a root canal.

Bridges

Bridges are structures used to replace teeth that have been lost but still have strong teeth on one or both sides of the gap.

Bridges are attached to healthy teeth on one or both sides of the gap and have a crown in the middle that will replace the missing tooth.
