Crown & Bridge

Dental crowns are used to strengthen and protect your tooth structure. Ideal for people with broken teeth or cavities, a dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over the original tooth. Most crowns are made of a porcelain and look, function and feel just like natural teeth.

Dental crowns are also used in cosmetic dentistry to restore discolored, misshapen or chipped teeth. Dr. Pellittieri has the experience and knowledge to produce superior results to give you a bright, healthy smile.

Most anyone who has missing or damaged teeth may be a candidate for dental bridges. They are beneficial because without something to occupy gaps, remaining teeth can shift out of place, which can lead to occlusion (bite) and/or jaw problems. These changes can lead to jaw pain, headaches and an increased risk of periodontal disease.

Dental bridges protect the integrity of existing teeth and help maintain a healthy, vibrant smile. A bridge is a fixed dental restoration and works just like your natural teeth. Bridges are very stable and can provide for effortless chewing of food.
