CROWNS AND BRIDGES
A crown (sometimes called a "cap") is used to restore a tooth that may be in danger of breaking and is often placed on a tooth that has had a root-canal. It covers and protects the entire tooth. A bridge is used when there is a tooth missing. It involves putting a crown on each tooth on either side of the missing tooth, and then a false tooth (or teeth) is suspended between the crowns. A single missing tooth requires a bridge of three units; one is for the missing tooth, which mounts with a crown to each of the neighboring teeth giving three. Generally, if you need a bridge for several missing teeth, the number of units is the missing teeth plus two. If there are multiple missing teeth in the front, we may need an additional two units for proper support.

At Rio Dental, patients can choose from porcelain fused to base metal, high noble XP, high noble elite II, ceramic empress or zirconia.. All Ceramic crowns/bridges are the best cosmetic crowns and are appropriate for teeth in the front, and visible in your smile.
