Crowns can be used to cover a tooth and restore it to its normal shape and size. Dr. Costa has a variety of crown technologies available to her patients including the state of the art Captek crown (porcelain crown with gold underside) and the all ceramic Procera crown. Dr. Costa would be happy to discuss all the options available to you.
Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth "bridging" the gap between existing teeth. A variety of bridge options are available including removable bridges which can be taken out and cleaned as well as fixed bridges that can only be removed by the dentist. An implant bridge attaches artificial teeth directly to the jaw or under the gum tissue. Dr. Costa will provide her recommendation based on individual circumstances.
Crowns and bridges can be used to restore your smile to all its glory. With state of the art materials and color matching, you will be the only one who knows which teeth have been replaced.
