Crowns and Bridges
A crown is essentially a “cap” that surrounds the tooth and covers it up. There are many reasons to get a crown, they include:
Broken or fractured teeth
Cosmetic enhancement
Tooth decay
Fractured or large fillings
Root canal treated teeth
Crowns can be made of porcelain, metal, porcelain fused to metal and zirconia. There are many pros and cons to each material chosen, and our dentists at Jamieson Dental will be able to help you choose the right option for you.
A bridge can be done to replace missing teeth. It is done by putting 2 or more crowns on the teeth next to the missing tooth, then connecting these crowns with a fake porcelain or metal tooth…bridging the 2 crowns together. Even though implants have become the new favourite method of replacing missing teeth, bridges are still the best option in some situations. Our dentists will be able to provide you with their expert opinions on what is best for you.
