Crowns
A crown, sometimes called a cap, is custom-made to fit your bite and placed over a natural tooth or dental implant. Crowns are recommended for teeth that are damaged or decayed and cannot be fully restored with a filling alone. They are also used to restore dental implants, providing a natural look and durable function.
Bridges
When a tooth is missing and neighboring teeth have decay or large fillings—or if the tooth has been missing long enough to cause gum recession or bone loss—a bridge may be recommended as an alternative to a dental implant. Traditional bridges use the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth as anchors, with bonded “caps” holding your replacement tooth securely in place.
Veneers
For cosmetic improvements, veneers are a popular option. These thin, custom-made porcelain coverings can be shaped and colored to match your natural teeth. Less invasive than crowns, veneers are commonly used to address chipped, misshaped, or uneven teeth, as well as teeth that don’t respond well to whitening treatments.
