Crown and Bridges in Macleod

Dental crowns and bridges are materials used to strengthen, maintain and restore missing or damaged teeth. They are usually made from ceramic, metal alloys or porcelain fused to metal. A dental crown also commonly referred to as a cap, is used as a treatment option to reinforce weak, worn, chipped and extensively broken down teeth. They are also recommended if the tooth has undergone root canal treatment or have cracks that extend deep into the tooth. They serve to protect the tooth surfaces of a weakened or compromised tooth from further wear and fracture mainly from the forces of chewing and grinding of teeth.
