Crowns & Bridges
Using dental technology and materials like gold, porcelain, zirconia, empress, PFM, or maryland, we construct modern bridges and crowns. We work with patients to tailor the best solution for them and their treatment objectives.
Do you have a broken tooth? Or maybe you have a tooth that is discolored? No worries, we can fix that for you! We even have the technology in our office to make and insert crowns on the same day!
Crowns can be used to replace composite buildup (discoloured) or damaged teeth. They are most often fixed prosthetic devices (and are not removable like dentures). Considering crowns and bridges are permanently cemented into place, they are more preferred by the general population wherever possible. They can only be removed by a dentist.
