Crown & Bridges San Juan Capistrano, CA
A crown is a ceramic cap used to protect a tooth that has a large cavity, is fractured, or is at risk for breaking. Crowns are a great option for improving esthetics and function of teeth.
Crowns can serve to improve esthetics and function in the following ways:
Protect a tooth after a root canal
Support a tooth with a large filling, with or without cracks - Restore a dental implant
Repair worn-down teeth
Provide anchorage for a bridge
Modify color, shape and size of teeth
A bridge offers similar benefits to a crown and also serves to replace a missing tooth. Bridges are often made of three crowns connected together. They use two natural teeth as posts while connecting the middle crown over the missing tooth space. Crowns and bridges are cemented permanently and are not removable. While it is not possible for a crown or bridge to get a cavity, the tooth structure underneath can so it is important to always practice regular brushing and flossing.
