Dental Crowns - the Tooth Caps!

Dental Crowns or Teeth Crowns are dental restoration caps which are fitted on a portion of tooth above the gums. When teeth are heavily decayed they may be too weak to survive with just a filling. By placing a crown, a tooth may be given a new lease of life. Dental crowns are also capable of replacing missing teeth entirely. In this way dental crown becomes external surface of tooth giving it required protection and beautiful looks.

Dental Bridges
Dental bridges can be supported by either natural teeth or implants. It can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. A dental bridge is a false tooth which is fused between two porcelain crowns in order to replace a missing tooth. Each dental bridge is custom made to fill in the space. If spaces are left unfilled, the surrounding teeth are liable to drift out of position. Furthermore, spaces from missing teeth can cause your other teeth and your gums to become far more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease. In case of missing teeth, you need to discuss dental bridge procedure with the dentist.
