Crowns & Bridges
When a patient’s teeth are damaged and may feel like they’re beyond repair, we can use porcelain to make their smile appear “good as new.” This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing even the most severe dental problems, including the permanent replacement of missing teeth for a complete smile and functional bite. Crowns and bridges last up to 20 years, and it’s our goal to make them look and feel as much like your natural teeth as possible.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
- Offers support to misshapen or badly broken teeth
- Replaces missing teeth
- Fixes “smile” and functional chewing problems
- Looks completely natural
Capabilities of Dental Crowns
Crown and bridgework is a reliable solution for major dental problems that are caused via oral diseases, accidents or wear and tear. Where teeth have been lost in an accident, or broken away through excessive wear or as the result of old fillings breaking, crowns and/or bridges are a realistic long-term solution.
For example, many people can develop pain from a back filling, which is usually due to hairline cracks in the chewing part of the tooth. Placing a crown over the damage relieves pain and allows for return of full dental function. Likewise, in front teeth, older fillings can both cause appearance problems due to chipping or staining, or even weaken the tooth. In these cases, porcelain crowns and bridges can work where veneers cannot. Finally, crowns can help prevent breakage in teeth with root canal fillings.
Fitting a Dental Crown
Fitting a crown usually requires two visits to our office. During the first visit, we will remove decay, shape the tooth, and fit it with a plastic or metal temporary crown while the permanent crown is being created. When it’s ready, we will remove the temporary crown, and then fit and adjust the final crown. After the crown is cemented into place, you’ll leave with a beautiful, new and protected tooth.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a custom device that’s anchored to neighboring teeth in order to replace one or more teeth that are missing. A bridge requires placing crowns on the teeth on either side of the empty space to serve as post holders for the replacement tooth.
Crowns and bridges are made from porcelain, precious or semiprecious metals, or a mix of the two. When selecting the right material for your dental treatment, your dentist will discuss with you the aesthetics, functionality, durability and compatibility of each type.
