Dental Crowns and Bridges Restore a Flawed Smile

Crowns and Bridges: Common Restorative Treatments

When you have a chipped or cracked tooth, have received extensive dental treatment to a tooth or are missing one or more teeth in an area, dental crowns and dental bridges are common restoration techniques to rebuild your smile and return it to proper function. A single dental crown is the most common restorative procedure done by dentists, and over 15 million people have a bridge replacement for missing teeth. When restoring teeth with dental crowns and bridges, it is important to choose a skilled cosmetic dentist to give you the best results.

The Difference Between Dental Crowns and Bridges

Rather than living with a painful damaged tooth or missing teeth, dental crowns and dental bridges are effective and affordable solutions. Many patients choose dental crowns and bridges as a temporary solution before deciding on dental implants as a long-term replacement option. All dental implants are restored with a dental crown and those who choose implant supported dentures typically have a full-arch bridge prosthetic created that will attach to the implant posts.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a natural looking replica of a tooth as it appears above the gum line. Typically made of high-quality ceramic material, dental crowns are strong, resistant to disease and discoloration, and blend in with your natural teeth. Commonly used to restore damaged teeth, a cracked tooth or dental implants, having a skilled cosmetic dentist like Dr. Thomas ensures a natural appearance within the smile.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are a collection of crowns that are secured together to span the gap of missing teeth. Bridges restore aesthetics to the smile and allow you to chew and bite naturally. Bridges are commonly being replaced with dental implants these days, as implants provide similar function with additional health benefits.

The Process to Restoring Your Teeth

When preparing your mouth for dental crowns or bridges, we are able to capture precise images of your teeth through the use of our intraoral camera. This camera takes high-quality snap-shots of your teeth and oral structure, allowing us to design the most ideal crown or bridge for your smile. The teeth being restored will be reshaped to allow for a proper, comfortable fit of the new crowns or abutments and then be cemented on. With adequate at-home care, your crown and bridge restorations can last you for many years before needing to be replaced.
