Crowns and Bridges in Portland, OR

The purpose of Crown & Bridgework is to restore the health & appearance of your smile after tooth loss.

A Bridge is essentially a device anchored to surrounding teeth that replaces one or more existing teeth. When a lost tooth is replaced with cemented bridgework, the teeth on either side of the missing one must be prepared as crowns to serve as abutments, to hold the bridge in place.

This treatment will restore lost teeth, support remaining teeth and help keep our teeth in proper position and proper bite. Bridges are a long term solution which can help prevent the cycle of problems that occur when just one tooth is missing, such as shifting and drifting of remaining teeth, decay and periodontal bone loss.
