About Capping And Dental Bridge Services

Capping (dental crowns) and dental bridges are effective restorative treatments designed to protect damaged teeth and replace missing ones. A dental crown, or cap, is used to cover a weakened or broken tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and natural appearance. Dental bridges, on the other hand, are used to fill gaps caused by missing teeth, using adjacent teeth or crowns as support. Both treatments not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also improve your ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper oral alignment. Our clinic offers high-quality, long-lasting crowns and bridges tailored to match the color and contour of your natural teeth.

 

What is Capping (Dental Crown)?

Capping, also known as a dental crown, is a tooth-shaped cover placed over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It acts like a protective cap, fully covering the visible part of the tooth above the gum line.

 

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth or crowns on either side of the gap. It literally “bridges” the empty space, restoring the look and function of your smile.

 

Benefits:

  • Restores chewing and speaking ability

  • Metal (highly durable)

  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal (strong with a natural look)
