Fixed Teeth using Crowns and Bridges are permanent dental solutions that help restore damaged or missing teeth, bringing back both function and aesthetics to your smile. A crown (also known as a cap) is placed over a weakened or broken tooth to strengthen it and restore its natural shape, size, and appearance. A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by joining artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. These restorations are custom-made to blend perfectly with your natural teeth, providing a strong, durable, and natural-looking result. With modern materials and advanced dental techniques, crowns and bridges offer an effective long-term solution for restoring your smile and confidence.
