What are crowns and bridges?
A crown fits over a tooth to restore its shape and protect weakened tooth structure. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth, using neighboring teeth or implants for support. An examination helps determine which option fits your needs.

Crowns and bridges FAQs
A few things to know before your visit.
When might I need a crown?
A crown may be recommended for a badly damaged tooth, a large filling with little tooth structure remaining, or a tooth that needs protection after treatment.
How is a bridge different from a crown?
A crown covers a tooth; a bridge fills a gap where teeth are missing. A fixed bridge stays in place and is removed only by a dentist.
Is a bridge my only option for a missing tooth?
No. Depending on your oral health, an implant or removable denture may also be considered.
How do I care for a crown or bridge?
Keep the supporting teeth and gums clean. Ask your dentist to show you how to clean around the restoration and beneath a bridge.
How much does treatment cost?
The number of teeth involved, the restoration and your insurance benefits affect the cost. Ask the office for an estimate before treatment.
