Crown and Bridge Procedures

Crowns are protective restorations for teeth that cannot support a routine filling or require enhancement of tooth function.

The object of a crown is to restore the strength and function of the tooth. Crowns are made of all ceramic, porcelain fused to gold, or of all gold. When crowns are linked together to replace a tooth, they are called a bridge. A routine bridge has two support teeth and a replacement tooth between them.
