Fixed bridges are attached to the two adjoining teeth, while cantilever bridges are attached to a single adjoining tooth.

How Are Crowns Placed on Teeth?

Your teeth are filed down to make room for a crown and then our dentist will make an impression of the tooth. A crown is then tailored to your specifications at a dental lab. Once your crown arrives, our dentist will cement it onto your tooth and you are ready to go.

How Do I Get a Tooth Bridge?

Our dentist will check your suitability for a tooth bridge. One or two support teeth need to be strong enough to hold the bridge in order for you to be eligible. A model is fabricated for your artificial tooth, called a pontic, and you need to wait for the lab to custom make your pontic. You will have a temporary bridge until your pontic is complete.
