Bridges
Bridges are natural-looking dental appliances that can replace a section of missing teeth. Because they are custom-made, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth as well as the proper bite relationship between upper and lower teeth.
Bridges are two crowns connected to replace a missing tooth or teeth. They mimic the function of real teeth and provide a durable, long-lasting solution for missing teeth. Typically, they are made from materials like Zirconia or PFM, that are cemented into place as a permanent, fixed restoration.
Crowns
Dental Crowns are a single “cap” that mimic natural tooth anatomy and restore full function to teeth that are damaged or weakened from previous fillings, root canals or active decay. Crowns are typically made from materials like Zirconia, PFM, Ceramics, among many other materials. A dentist will choose the proper material that balances both strength and esthetics. Crowns are also used to connect bridges, restore implants, and improve aesthetics of front teeth.
