What are Crowns & Bridges?
Crowns and bridges are both important restorative dental treatments that can help to restore the normal function and appearance of your smile.
They can help to fill space left by missing teeth, prevent teeth from becoming misaligned and can also help you maintain your natural facial shape as well as restore your ability to speak and chew properly.
By repairing structural problems such as damaged or missing teeth using a dental crown or bridge, our dentists in Westmount can help restore your smile – and your oral health.
Dental Crowns
A crown involves covering a damaged or improperly shaped tooth with a layer of porcelain.
A crown is needed when the remaining tooth structure is insufficient to support a filling, after having undergone root canal treatment or on a broken tooth. There are various types of crowns varying depending on the needs of each individual.
Dental Bridges
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth placed either between natural teeth or between implants.
The main advantage of the bridge is that it is fixed and thus gives the feeling of having real teeth. Replacing a missing tooth is important since other teeth can become misaligned leading to further complications.
