Crowns and Bridges
Also called: Cap
Crowns are custom made to fit your tooth after extensive repair work or in the event of a broken or cracked tooth.
Bridges are like crowns, but they replace a tooth. Dental bridges are used to permanently fill in a space where teeth are missing. The teeth on either side of the gap are prepared to serve as anchors for the false tooth that will be placed in the gap.
