Crowns are indicated treatment to restore broken, fractured or damaged teeth. Teeth needing crowns are usually damaged or fractured from cavities, broken fillings or trauma. Crowns repair and protect remaining tooth structure from further breakdown. Crowns are made from various materials and are custom made to fit seamlessly into a patient’s mouth.

Crowns are not removable and are permanently cemented to your natural tooth structure. Dr. Alice Family Dentistry will fabricate a patient’s crown shade to match the color of their surrounding teeth. When you visit Dr. Alice Family Dentistry in Plantation, FL, you can expect to receive the highest quality dental care for your crowns and bridges.

Dental Bridges are used to replace missing teeth. Bridges can replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. Dental bridges, like crowns, are permanently cemented and can’t not be removed. The teeth adjacent to the missing tooth are prepared and the final prosthetic is custom made to replace the missing tooth. These bridges are lab fabricated and naturally mask the appearance of a missing tooth. 

Dental Bridges are a great treatment option for patients who chose not to replace missing teeth with dental implants and want a permanent non-removable option. Over time, when teeth are not replaced, the adjacent and neighboring teeth will shift and move into the empty space. This can lead to changes in a patient’s bite and potentially lead to of dental issues. It is important to replace missing teeth, to prevent more extensive and costly dental issues.
