cantilever bridges and resin-bonded bridges.

Dental Crowns
Dental crowns, also known as
“caps,” preserve the functionality of damaged teeth. Crowns may be used to
protect a cracked tooth, restore functionality of a tooth with excessive
decay, or replace a pre-existing crown. The purpose of a dental crown is
to encase a needy tooth with a custom-designed material. Dentists today
have a variety of conservative treatment options through which to restore
teeth. If possible, these options should be explored and discussed before
selecting the full coverage crown.
