Crowns are essential when teeth have extensive damage or decay. Crowns can restore a tooth to its original size, form, and function. They are used for larger procedures such as a root canals to prevent further damage to a tooth that became vulnerable. The procedure of placing a crown is simple and if handled with care can last several years.

Dental implants are another excellent restorative solution for missing teeth. An artificial root made of titanium is placed in the gum and then covered by a crown, bridge, or denture. When a tooth is missing, the bone adjacent to the tooth begins to shrink which results in other teeth shifting and can affect the shape of your jaw. When the implant is placed, the surrounding bone grows on the implant making it stronger and preventing distortion of the bone.
