PROMOTING DENTAL HEALTH AT EVERY STAGE
We Specialize in Dental Bridges and Crowns.
Dental bridges and crowns are restorative dental treatments designed to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your smile. They help address issues such as missing or damaged teeth, ensuring you can eat, speak, and smile confidently.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged, weakened, or decayed tooth to restore its size, shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are also used to cover dental implants or teeth that have undergone root canal treatment.
- Protects weak or cracked teeth from further damage.
- Restores a tooth’s shape, size, and function.
- Improves the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.
- Provides a long-lasting solution with proper care.
Types of Crowns:
- Ceramic or Porcelain Crowns: Ideal for front teeth due to their natural appearance.
- Metal Crowns: Extremely durable, often used for molars.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: Combines durability with a natural look.
- Resin Crowns: Affordable but less durable than other materials.
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to fill the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It typically consists of a false tooth (or teeth) anchored by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or implants.
Traditional Bridge: Uses crowns on both sides of the gap to support the false tooth.
Cantilever Bridge: Supported by a single crown when teeth are present on only one side of the gap.
Maryland Bridge: Uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridge: Anchored to dental implants for maximum stability.
- Restores the ability to chew and speak properly.
- Prevents remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
- Maintains the shape of your face by supporting facial structure.
- Enhances your smile and boosts confidence.
- Examination and Preparation: The dentist examines your teeth, removes any decay, and reshapes the supporting teeth to accommodate the crown or bridge.
- Impressions: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-fit crown or bridge.
- Temporary Restoration: A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect your teeth while the permanent one is being made.
- Placement: The permanent crown or bridge is securely cemented in place and adjusted for comfort.
- Practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily.
- Avoid hard or sticky foods that can damage your crown or bridge.
- Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.
- Use a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste to maintain the integrity of the restoration.
Dental bridges and crowns are durable and effective solutions to restore your oral health and smile. If you’re dealing with missing or damaged teeth, consult your dentist to explore the best treatment options tailored to your needs.
