Porcelain CrownsCrowns, or caps for teeth, look and function
just like natural teeth. We may recommend a crown if your tooth has enough
decay that it cannot hold a filling, or if your tooth is cracked or broken and
in danger of cracking down into the root if left unattended. A crown
covers your tooth completely. It fits snugly at the gum and protects what
remains of the natural tooth. We may recommend a bridge be utilized to replace one or
more teeth. These restorations are cemented onto the teeth and are referred to
as "fixed" dentistry as opposed to a restoration of missing teeth
with a removable appliance or partial denture.
