CROWN
& BRIDGE: Crown and Bridge treatment is a long-term
method of replacing missing teeth. A Crown is placed over
and individual tooth where there is no longer sufficient tooth
structure left to place a filling. A Bridge spans space where
one or more teeth have been lost in the dental arch. The teeth
on either end of the span are crowned, and are referred to
as abutments. The false teeth in a bridge that join the abutments
are referred to as poetics. Crown and Bridges are most often
made from superior materials such as precious metals (gold)
semi-precious metals, porcelain, or a combination of metal
fused to porcelain. Both esthetics and function are considered
when selecting the material most suitable for your case.
Your
teeth will be fitted with provisional coverage until
your next appointment.
The
new prosthesis is adjusted and permanently cemented.
