Crowns can be used to cover and strengthen a damaged tooth. They can also be used to improve its appearance, shape, or alignment.
There are several different types of crown ranging from porcelain or ceramic crowns, which can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth, to gold and metal alloy crowns.
Your dentist will discuss the options with you during your dental appointment.
Bridges can also be used to replace missing teeth by joining one or more crowns together to replace the missing teeth.
Dentures are removable appliances which are used to replace missing teeth and can be partial, for people who are only missing some of their teeth, or full dentures which are made when you have no teeth left at all.
Dentures can help restore your facial structure and help you to chew and bite and restore your smile.
