Treatment overview
Understanding Crowns & Bridges.
Crowns protect weakened teeth after extensive decay or root canal treatment. Bridges replace one or more missing teeth using neighbouring teeth for support. The dentist records the prepared teeth using an appropriate impression or scanning method so the restoration can be planned for fit and appearance.
