Dental crowns and bridges are excellent treatment options for restoring your smile when a tooth has been damaged, decayed, or lost.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown restores a tooth that has suffered trauma, a fracture, or decay that is deeper than a dental filling can restore. It covers the treated tooth and closely mimics the natural structure, shape, and shade of your tooth. This allows your crown to preserve your tooth root while providing the function you lost when your tooth became damaged.
Dental crowns in Toronto are made of ceramic porcelain that is customized to match your smile, which is more appealing than crowns made with metal used in the past.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
If you are missing one or two neighbouring teeth, a bridge can be an excellent solution. It uses dental crowns with prosthetic teeth capped to healthy teeth and "closes the gap" left by your missing teeth. A bridge is also made of porcelain customized to match your smile. This type of restoration can last for 10 to 15 years with excellent home care focused on keeping your anchor teeth clean and healthy.
