Ceramic Crowns and Bridges
A crown replaces the enamel “cap” of a tooth and is used to restore damaged/broken teeth, whereas bridges (joined crowns) are used to “gap/bridge” a missing tooth, if an implant is not possible. A crown replace the entire external form of a tooth, down to the gum level, re-establishing its form, bite function (how it contacts other teeth) and aesthetics using the patient’s own root, if stable, the same way as a crown on an implant. Crowns are custom-made to achieve the desired shape, size and colour and look and function like natural teeth.
