Understanding Crowns & Bridges

Crowns and bridges are restorative dental treatments used to repair damaged teeth or replace missing ones. While crowns protect and strengthen individual teeth, bridges restore gaps caused by missing teeth.

Together, these restorations help maintain bite alignment, chewing function, and the natural appearance of your smile.

Why Crowns & Bridges Are Important

Without proper restoration, damaged or missing teeth can cause:

• Bite misalignment

• Increased wear on remaining teeth

• Jaw discomfort

• Difficulty eating

• Long-term oral health issues

Crowns and bridges provide structural support and restore balance to the mouth.

Materials Used for Crowns & Bridges

Modern restorations are made from strong, aesthetic materials such as:

• Porcelain

• Zirconia

• Porcelain-fused-to-metal

These materials are chosen for durability, comfort, and appearance.
