Crowns & Bridges

crowns-and-bridgesA dental crown or is a covering that fits over a damaged, decayed or unattractive tooth. Crowns can also be used to create a lifelike replacement for a missing tooth. This is done with bridgework, which spans the space of the missing tooth and requires at least three crowns. Here at DeLaura Dental we offer both treatment options for you to fit your needs! A crown completely covers a tooth above the gum line. Crowns strengthen damaged teeth, allowing them to function normally again. exampleWhen crafted from today’s high-tech porcelains (dental ceramics), crowns are indistinguishable from natural teeth. They can even be designed to improve upon a tooth’s original appearance. We would be happy to discuss the pros and cons of these various options with you.
