What Are Crowns and Teeth Bridges?
Crowns and teeth bridges are dental restorations that repair and replace damaged or missing teeth, helping restore the function and appearance of your smile. A crown is a cap that completely encases a damaged or decayed tooth. It is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. A bridge is used to replace multiple missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored to adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants. The bridge effectively "bridges" the gap left by missing teeth, restoring both your smile and the function of your bite.
We use Glidewell technology to create zirconia crowns and bridges, known for their strength, durability, and natural appearance. This advanced technology provides a precise fit for both front and back teeth, offering long-lasting results and an aesthetically pleasing restoration.
Why Might I Need Crowns or Teeth Bridges?
Our dentist recognizes crowns and teeth bridges as versatile solutions for various dental issues. Crowns and bridges are designed to restore both chewing abilities and the aesthetics of your teeth, helping to enhance your oral health and confidence. Common reasons why you might need bridges or crowns for teeth include:
- Severe tooth decay or damage: If your tooth has extensive decay or is fractured, you may need a crown, as it can restore its shape, strength, and function.
- After a root canal: We often place crowns after root canal treatment to protect your treated tooth and restore its appearance.
- Cosmetic concerns: A crown can improve the appearance of your tooth if it's misshapen, discolored, or uneven.
- Replacing a tooth: Both our crowns and bridges work to restore your ability to speak and chew properly, with a crown covering a damaged tooth or a bridge filling the gap left by multiple missing teeth.
Our Bridges and Crowns for Teeth Process
Our crowns and teeth bridges process begins with a consultation, where our dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss the treatment options suited to your needs. If a crown is necessary, our dentist will prepare your tooth by removing decay and reshaping it for a proper fit. If a bridge is needed, we will prepare your adjacent teeth and take impressions to create your custom restoration. A temporary crown or bridge will protect the prepared teeth while the permanent restoration is crafted in the lab.
Once your custom crown or bridge is ready, you'll return for a second appointment to have it permanently placed. Our dentist will check the restoration's fit, function, and appearance, making any adjustments as needed before cementing it in place. With proper care, your new crown or teeth bridges will restore your smile's beauty and chewing abilities.
Crowns and Teeth Bridges FAQS
We understand you may have questions regarding crowns and bridges. Our team is ready to answer your questions and offer support throughout your treatment. Common questions regarding our bridges and crowns for teeth include:
Our crowns and bridges can last 10 to 15 years with proper care. Regular dental checkups in our office, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits like grinding can help extend their lifespan.
If you have cavities, your dentist will first treat them before placing a crown. For bridges, the surrounding teeth must be decay-free before they can support the restoration.
Crowns and bridges are highly resistant to staining but can still accumulate plaque near the gum line or discolor over time. Good oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings can help maintain their appearance.
