Dental Crowns and Bridges
Crowns cover and protect a damaged tooth. Bridges fill the gap where a tooth is missing.
A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged tooth to protect it and restore its shape. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the teeth on either side of the gap.
Dr. Karmo will explain whether a crown, a bridge, an implant or a simpler repair suits your tooth, and why.
Already have a crown? We check it at your regular visits and clean around it to keep the tooth and gums underneath healthy.

FAQ
Crowns and Bridges: Questions, Answered
What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown covers one damaged tooth. A bridge uses the teeth on either side of a gap to hold one or more replacement teeth.
How do I care for a crown or bridge?
Brush and floss as usual, including under a bridge, and keep your regular checkups so we can check the fit and the gums around it.
Is a bridge or an implant better for a missing tooth?
Both can work well. Dr. Karmo will explain the pros and cons of each for your mouth.
