Crowns

Over time, teeth can lose their structure, density or appearance or become cracked or fractured. A dental crown is tooth-shaped cover, placed over a carefully prepared tooth that blends in with the rest of your teeth. Crowns are ideal for patients who wish to straighten, restore and improve the appearance of their natural teeth. They support the tooth when there is no longer sufficient structure left for a filling, and protect the enamel when it’s fractured or broken.

Bridges

Bridges replace missing teeth entirely. Bridges are replacement teeth that are anchored with crowns on neighbouring teeth. The supporting teeth need to be strong and healthy in order to sustain the bridge. Bridges can also be supported by dental implants, eliminating the need for compromising the structure of the surrounding teeth.

Dentures

Dentures have been used in dentistry for a very long time, providing a viable and cost-effective tooth replacement option for patients who have lost most of their teeth in the upper and lower jaws. Dentures can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain and acrylic, and can be removable, or fixed using dental implants.
