Crown and Bridgework
Recent data indicates that 69 percent of adults have lost at least one tooth. When you lose teeth, your diet can become limited because of functional limitations, your self-esteem can suffer, and remaining teeth may shift out of place to compromise your bite. Crown and bridgework will restore a full smile and return your mouth’s function, appearance, and health.
Also called a fixed bridge, crown and bridgework will close the gap left by one or more missing teeth. The dentist will apply dental crowns to teeth on either side of your gap, then permanently attach the bridgework. If you don’t have healthy anchor teeth, the dentist may suggest dental implants or implant-supported dentures. A bridge is a fixed prosthetic, so it cannot be removed. Our dental lab’s talented ceramists use highly esthetic materials to create lifelike bridgework, so your restored smile will look and feel natural.
