Crowns can be likened to a cap used to protect a damaged tooth or even replace a missing tooth. Dr. Jelsing is renowned for using modern technology and advanced techniques to provide patients with quality restoration.

Crowns and bridges can correct dental issues caused by trauma, disease, or severe decay. Dental crowns can help protect a tooth and relieve the pain associated with cracked or broken teeth. Dental bridges, which consist of two crowns and an artificial tooth, can be used to replace missing teeth.
