Restorative Dentistry and Dental Crowns

Crowns, or caps for teeth, look and function just like natural teeth. Dr. Giugliano may recommend a crown if your tooth has enough decay that it cannot hold a filling, or if your tooth is cracked or broken and in danger of cracking down into the root if left unattended. A crown covers your tooth completely. It fits snugly at the gum and protects what remains of the natural tooth.
 

Dr. Giugliano often uses a dental bridge to replace one or more teeth. These restorations are cemented onto the teeth and are referred to as "fixed" dentistry as opposed to a restoration of missing teeth with a removable appliance or partial dentures.
