Dental crowns and bridgework have been around in some form since the earliest days of dentistry, and they remain one of the most
common and versatile methods available to restore a damaged smile today. Crowns can repair everything from a cavity that is too large for a standard filling, to gaps in your smile from missing teeth. If you are looking for an affordable, effective, and minimally invasive way to fix and improve your smile, dental crowns are a great choice. The dentists at Cox Family & Cosmetic Dentistry offer cosmetic, general, and emergency dentistry services in Jasper, AL.

Crowns work so well for so many dental problems because they are essentially a cap that covers and strengthens a damaged tooth. Designed to closely match the color and texture of your natural teeth, they make subtle but significant improvements to your smile. Some of the most common uses for dental crowns include:
- Repair chipped and cracked teeth
- Replace missing teeth (bridgework)
- Protect a severely decayed tooth from extraction
Replacing Missing Teeth with Crowns and Bridgework
Losing one or more teeth either from a traumatic accident like a sports injury or from tooth decay or gum disease can be overwhelming, but replacing them with bridgework is simple and straightforward. A bridge is made up of three crowns: one to replace the missing tooth, and two additional crowns which are placed over the teeth on either side of the missing tooth (known as abutment teeth) to keep the crown in place.
