 Crown
If you want your smile to be your crowning glory, you need healthy, attractive teeth. When they are cracked, stained or damaged, however, your teeth detract from your dental health and your appearance, too. To restore them, your dentist may recommend crowns.
A crown is a restoration that covers, or caps, a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size. Its purpose is to strengthen or improve the appearance of a tooth. A crown is placed for a number of reasons:
- to support a large filling when there isn't enough tooth remaining
- to attach a bridge
- to protect weak teeth from fracturing
- to restore fractured teeth
- to cover badly shaped or discoloured teeth
- to cover a dental implant

 Bridge
A bridge is a way to replace one or more missing teeth. Replacing missing teeth makes it easier to chew. It can improve your appearance. It also helps keep your teeth, gums, and jaws healthy.
Space left by missing teeth affect the rest of your teeth. These gaps can cause chewing problems. If even one tooth is missing. other teeth may slowly shift out of place. This changes the way your teeth fit together (your bite). A poor bite may make your jaw sore. Your teeth may become harder to clean, leading to tooth decay and gum disease.

Children should have their first checkup by the age of two ….
Early dental visits for children are important. Looking after baby teeth enables adult teeth growing below to emerge healthily and with enough space, which will obviously save on specialist treatment in the future.
