Crown and Bridges Teeth Treatment in Hafeez Dental Clinic

Crown and Bridges Teeth

Crowns and bridges are reliable dental solutions to restore strength, function, and aesthetics to your smile. A crown (cap) is placed over a damaged, weak, or discolored tooth to protect it and improve its appearance. A bridge, on the other hand, replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the neighboring natural teeth or implants. Together, crowns and bridges not only restore chewing and speaking ability but also maintain proper alignment of your bite, prevent teeth shifting, and give you a natural-looking smile.

All-Metal Crowns

Made from gold or other alloys, all-metal crowns are extremely strong and long-lasting. They are perfect for molars and back teeth that endure heavy chewing pressure.

Traditional Bridge

A traditional bridge uses crowns placed on both sides of a missing tooth to support an artificial replacement in between. It is one of the most common and reliable options for replacing teeth.
