CROWNS & BRIDGES
Tooth Crowns & Bridges in Stoney Creek from Portway Dental Centre
At Portway Dental Centre in Stoney Creek we offer crowns and bridges to repair damaged or missing teeth, improving their appearance and restoring functionality.
Crowns
Restore the shape, size, appearance, and even strength of your tooth with a dental crown. A crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over your tooth and cemented into place. It fully encases the entire visible portion of your tooth that is positioned at and above the gum line.
Bridges
Bridges and crowns often go hand in hand. A dental bridge is made up of two crowns that anchor to the natural teeth or dental implants located on either side of a gap left by a missing tooth. A bridge will close the gap created by one or more missing teeth by using a false tooth or teeth to fill in the space. The false teeth are called pontics and are made from various materials including gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of all these materials.
