Prosthetics is the part of dentistry that deals with replacing teeth or restoring badly damaged ones. This includes crowns, bridges, partial dentures, and full dentures. These treatments help bring back the look and function of your teeth, so you can eat, speak, and smile more comfortably. At Dental Practice Laan van Kronenburg, we always look for the solution that feels the most comfortable, is strong enough for daily use, and looks as natural as possible.
A CROWN is used when a tooth is badly damaged and a normal filling is no longer enough. It can also be a good choice when a tooth needs major improvement in its color, shape, or position. A crown covers the tooth like a strong cap, helping to protect it and keep it in place for as long as possible. This can often save the tooth and delay or avoid having it removed.
A BRIDGE is used when one or more teeth are missing. It is made up of two or more crowns with one or more false teeth attached between them. The crowns are placed on the teeth next to the gap, and the false tooth fills the empty space where the missing tooth used to be. In this way, a bridge helps restore your smile and makes it easier to chew and speak normally again.
