Crowns and Bridges Seattle
A dental crown or dental cap is a custom made
restoration that covers a tooth with sustained
significant loss of structure. Crowns basically
restore the form and function of the teeth which
are decayed or weakened by root canal treatment
or fractures. The difference between Crowns and
Bridges is that crown strengthens the structure
of a single tooth while bridge replaces one or
more teeth by taking support from the adjacent
teeth.
