Crowns cover the tooth completely, fitting just at the gumline and protecting the remaining tooth. Most crowns have a tooth-coloured porcelain exterior fused to a metal base. The shade is customized to match your other teeth so that in your mouth a crown will look similar to a natural tooth. All porcelain crowns are also available giving superior aesthetics, also with strong cores.
Crowns can be placed on a titanium implant when the teeth are missing.

 

Bridgework

Bridgework works like a series of connected crowns, replacing missing teeth by bridging the gap and using the surrounding teeth as abutments.
If you are missing one or more natural teeth, then you know how much this diminishes your chewing ability. What you may not realize is that missing teeth also affect your facial structure, increasing stress on remaining teeth and often giving your cheeks a sunken appearance. Bridgework is cemented in permanently so that it feels like normal teeth.
Bridgework can also be supported by implants when teeth are absent.
