CROWN

• Crowns, sometimes called “caps,” are used to repair the teeth suffering from damage, decay, or infection. Dental damage can happen to anyone, leaving in its wake that teeth  are in pain, broken, or missing. When fillings don’t solve a problem, your dentist uses crowns to cover the entire surface of an affected tooth, resulting in the restoration of its natural size and shape, as well as the protection of the existing structure from further breakage or infection. Crowns can also be used in cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of stained, discoloured, or misshapen teeth. When your dentist shapes a crown, they design it to match the ideal version of the original tooth, giving it a natural appearance. Crowns are molded to fit your other teeth, preventing any interference with these teeth or jaw alignment. Crowns can be made out of metals, resin, ceramics, or porcelain. Porcelain crowns can match the original colour of your teeth, making them indistinguishable from natural teeth. Crowns typically do not require special care and, as a result, you will be able to care for them just like on natural teeth. At Surrey Central Dental, our dentists make you feel completely natural with the crowns in your mouth and bring your healthy smile back again! 

BRIDGES

• Missing a tooth but wanting a less intrusive solution? Bridges may be the solution as they simply fill in the gap formed by the missing tooth. Unlike the tooth implants, bridges are a lot less intrusive with the same solution of preventing misaligned teeth and are able to enhance your smile. Your dentist will craft a bridge to perfectly match your tooth colour, allowing you to smile better than ever!
