Patients may wish to discuss crowns or bridges with a dentist if you have teeth that are weakened, damaged or missing. These restorations can help maintain the function of your bite, support surrounding teeth and restore the shape of affected teeth.
Common situations where crowns or bridges may be considered include:
- Teeth with extensive decay that cannot be restored with a filling
- Cracked, chipped or fractured teeth that require additional support
- Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
- Missing teeth that could affect bite alignment or neighbouring teeth
- Worn teeth due to natural wear or other factors
- Teeth with large existing restorations that may compromise stability
Crowns cover individual teeth to provide protection, restore shape and maintain function. Dental bridges can replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or dental implants. This can help maintain normal chewing and bite alignment.
Your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss options and recommend treatments appropriate for your needs. Early evaluation and care can help support the long-term function of your teeth and bite.
At Providence Dental Care, crowns and bridges are custom-made to suit individual requirements, with materials selected to match your teeth and oral health needs.
