Crowns & Bridges in Evansville, IN
(812) 423-0113
General dentistry
Crowns, or caps, cover the entire tooth when it is compromised by a large filling. When a tooth with a large filling breaks or chips, usually the broken portion is tooth, not filling. Crowns are also placed on teeth that have had root canal treatment because of the risk of fracture.
We offer same-day crowns thanks to our in-house milling: the crown is made right here in our office during your visit.
Bridges replace a missing tooth or teeth by placing crowns on both sides of the space. The space is filled with a bridge tooth connected to the two crowns, restoring your bite and your smile.
