Crowns & Bridges San Juan Capistrano, CA
A crown is a cap made of porcelain used to cover a tooth that is significantly decayed, fractured, or at a high risk for fracture. Crowns can be used to not only restore function, but improve esthetics as well. Crowns are cemented in place and can not be taken out.
Crowns have many uses including the following:
Protecting a root canal treated tooth
Providing support to a tooth with a large filling with or without cracks
Restoring a dental implant
Restoring worn down teeth
Providing anchorage for a bridge
Improving Esthetics
A bridge provides the same benefits as a crown, but it also replaces a missing tooth as well. A bridge is made of a false tooth attached to two adjacent crowns, which fit over teeth on both sides of the missing tooth, therefore “bridging” the gap.
Crowns and Bridges In San Juan Capistrano are fixed restorations that can not be removed. Like any other dental restoration, it is very important to care for your crowns and bridges, just like your natural teeth. The better your oral hygiene regime, the longer your restorations will last.
