There is a vast variety of solutions to artificial teeth. In situations where fillings are not suitable or complete teeth are missing dentures must be used to complete the picture. Different solutions are available to the patient, depending on the severity of the situation and amount of remaining healthy teeth.

In case of extended damage to a tooth where fillings cannot be used for treatment or the tooth looks like its going to break apart, crowns are mostly the only way to save that tooth.

In case of a missing tooth in the tooth-line normally a bridge is used to close the gap. Teeth have a tendency to move towards free space, which could have effects on neighboring teeth, opposite teeth, jaw joint and muscles; hence the spacing should be closed as soon as possible. In order to produce a bridge both neighboring teeth by the gap are required to form the anchor poles of the bridge.
