Crowns, or caps for teeth, look and function just like natural teeth. Athens Dental 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.

Athens Dental may recommend a bridge be utilized 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 denture.
