What are crowns and bridges?
Signs that indicate the need for crowns and bridges
Severe tooth decay :
When a tooth has severe decay that cannot be restored with a filling, a crown might be used to strengthen the tooth.
Fractured or cracked tooth :
If a tooth is cracked, fractured, or weakened, a crown can provide stability and prevent further damage.
Root canal treatment :
After undergoing the root canal procedure, a tooth may become weak and brittle. A crown is placed over the tooth to prevent future damage.
Large dental filling :
If a tooth has a large filling and there is limited natural tooth structure remaining, a crown may be recommended to provide additional support.
Cosmetic purposes :
Dental crowns might also be used for cosmetic purposes to improve misshapen, discoloured, or poorly positioned teeth.
Signs that indicate the need for crowns and bridges
Missing teeth :
In case you have more than one missing tooth, a dental bridge might be used to fill the gap.

Dental bridges help restore the ability to chew properly, as well as maintain the alignment of the remaining teeth.
