Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges are designed to be strong, durable, and improve the look and function of your teeth..
In basic terms, a crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth, which restores it to the original size and shape.
A dental bridge also called a fixed bridge is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth.
If you have a broken tooth, a missing tooth, large fillings, or want to improve the look of your smile-we may be able to help you with a crown or bridge.

What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a natural-looking cap that is placed over a tooth to protect the shape, size, strength of the tooth, and improve its appearance.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge consists of an artificial tooth anchored to the adjacent natural teeth. If you have lost a tooth or have one that is too badly decayed to save with a crown, a bridge may be the treatment of choice at Shelburne Smile Centre.
Dental crowns and bridges are often made of porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or metal. The bridges made up of porcelain are especially useful for molars, which can withstand the forces of grinding and crushing.
