Dental crowns and bridges are two solutions that we may consider for you. Our professional dental team will ensure that your smile is restored in no time. Dental crowns and bridges have individual purposes and will be chosen depending on your specific requirements. Dental crowns are used in the case of decaying or damaged teeth. It is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth or dental implant. A dental bridge, on the other hand, is used by dentists to close the gap between your teeth where tooth loss has occurred. It is a false tooth or teeth, otherwise known as pontics, which ‘bridge’ the gap by giving the appearance of real teeth. Both procedures are aimed at restoring your natural smile, and Albany Dental will make sure that you have the confidence to do so by preventing the onset of further tooth complications. If you’re struggling with a deteriorating tooth and want to improve the overall look and appearance of your tooth, a crown is most likely your best option. However, if you are struggling with having a missing tooth and need it replaced, a dental bridge is a better choice.
