A damaged tooth is not automatically a lost one.

If the roots and the interior are still healthy, the tooth is worth saving. It may just need a new exterior.

The Argument

Reinforce the tooth before you replace it.

Restore strength to a damaged tooth
Improve tooth size, shape and color
Repair a tooth after severe decay
Preserve a tooth after a root canal
Restore a dental implant

Designed in the in-house lab, with fit and color verified against the teeth on either side before it is seated. Cared for properly, fifteen years or more.

Replace a missing tooth.

If a tooth is already gone and you are not ready to commit to an implant, a bridge is the next best option: a run of crowns fused together, spanning the gap and anchored to the teeth on either side.

Restore function and appearance after tooth loss
Improve the health of the whole mouth
Eliminate gaps in the smile
Keep the remaining teeth from shifting
Long-term strength and stability

A bridge can also be anchored to implants rather than natural teeth, which avoids reshaping two healthy neighbors to carry it. Worth asking about before you decide.
