Crowns & Bridges
Custom all-ceramic porcelain crowns and fixed bridges that reinforce cracked, worn, or root-treated teeth and seamlessly replace missing teeth.
About Crowns & Bridges at Donabate Dental Clinic
When a tooth is heavily filled, fractured, or has undergone root canal therapy, a custom porcelain crown wraps around the entire tooth structure to prevent catastrophic fracture. Bridges bridge the gap left by missing teeth by anchoring to neighboring teeth with incredible strength.
