Crown & Bridges: Restore Your Smile, Function, and Confidence
Elevate Your Oral Health and Aesthetics with Premium Dental Restorations
Don't let damaged, decayed, or missing teeth compromise your smile, your ability to chew comfortably, or your overall oral health. Crowns and Bridges are time-tested, highly effective dental solutions designed to restore the strength, function, and natural beauty of your teeth, giving you a reason to smile brightly again.
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown, often referred to as a "cap," is a custom-made, tooth-shaped covering that is placed over an entire tooth, extending down to the gum line. It fully encases the visible portion of the tooth, restoring its original shape, size, strength, and improving its appearance.
When is a Crown Recommended?
- To protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
- To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down.
- To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't much tooth structure remaining.
- To hold a dental bridge in place.
- To cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
- To cover a dental implant.
- Following a root canal procedure to protect the treated tooth.
Benefits of Dental Crowns:
- Restores Function: Allows for comfortable chewing and speaking.
- Enhances Aesthetics: Matches natural tooth color and shape, blending seamlessly with your smile.
- Protects Damaged Teeth: Shields vulnerable teeth from further decay or fracture.
- Increases Durability: Provides long-lasting strength to compromised teeth.
- Improves Oral Health: Prevents shifting of adjacent teeth that can occur with tooth damage.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It "bridges" the gap created by missing teeth, typically by joining an artificial tooth (or teeth), called a pontic, to crowns placed on the natural teeth (abutment teeth) or implants on either side of the gap.
When is a Bridge Recommended?
- To replace one or more missing teeth.
- To maintain the shape of your face.
- To prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
- To restore your chewing and speaking ability.
- To upgrade your smile and boost self-confidence.
Benefits of Dental Bridges:
- Fills Gaps: Replaces missing teeth, restoring continuity to your dental arch.
- Prevents Tooth Shifting: Stops adjacent teeth from tilting or drifting into the empty space.
- Restores Bite Function: Allows you to chew and speak properly.
- Maintains Facial Structure: Prevents the sunken appearance that can result from tooth loss.
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Custom-designed to match your existing teeth.
