Crown & Bridge Work |

There are several
different ways of restoring teeth, the most common being a
filling. Badly decayed, broken , severely discolored teeth or malaligned
teeth
cannot be repaired by fillings . Crowns are used to repair such teeth.
A crown is an artificial covering for the tooth and
can be made out
of several different types of material.
The
tooth under the crown is
reduced in size, over which the
crown will be permanently cemented.
Similarly for a Bridge
the two teeth adjoining the missing space are reduced. Crown
& bridges can be made of Porcelain (Ceramic), Gold or
a combination of Metal and Porcelain or Gold and
Porcelain.
Crowns & bridges look just like regular teeth and no one but you and
your
dentist will know which tooth is yours and which one is
artificial
