Most people get a crown as the final step in a root canal treatment. You can also place a crown on top of a dental implants to replace a tooth that has been lost or extracted.
Crowns can be fused together, as well, to create a dental bridge. You can choose between two kinds of bridges:
- Traditional Bridge - These bridges are supported by the teeth nearest to the ones that you lost. The healthy teeth are reshaped to form abutments for your bridge.
- Implant-Supported Bridge - Implant-supported bridges are a great option. These allow you to replace your missing teeth without doing anything to your remaining healthy teeth.

Find the Best Solution for Your Dental Problem
Bridges and crowns are both excellent services that rebuild attractive smiles and allow you to bite and chew again. However, they aren't always necessary to get your teeth back in shape.
Depending on your specific situation, we may recommend another of our restorative services, such as tooth fillings or inlays and onlays. For most cavities, a filling is more than sufficient. You may choose between a metal filling or a tooth-colored filling made with a composite resin. Some problems require more than a filling, but they don't quite call for a full crown.
