Crowns and Bridges

If your cavity is a little too big for a filling, or the top part of your tooth has decayed, or a tooth needs a root canal, a crown is the solution. These are usually two-visit procedures, but like the filling, shouldn’t be overtly painful. Your dentist will take a molding of your tooth so that a lab can craft a properly fitted crown to cover the decayed area.

Bridges are an alternative treatment for missing teeth. Although not better than an implant, they are used in several cases. The teeth adjacent to the missing one a trimmed for taking support.
