What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are popular and versatile restorations that are designed to cover the entire visible surface of a single tooth. Our goal by placing a custom-made crown is to protect damaged teeth and preserve what remains of their structure. We may recommend this service in the following situations:
- When a tooth is suffering from a large cavity and cannot be successfully treated with a filling.
- When a tooth has been significantly injured and needs support.
- When a tooth has become weakened and has a high risk of fracturing in the near-future.
- When a tooth has a serious cosmetic imperfection or misshapen structure that needs to be corrected.
- When a tooth has been treated with root canal therapy and needs to be restored.
- When a natural tooth has been lost and we want to rebuild it with an implant-retained crown.
What are Dental Bridges?
If one or more natural teeth that appear in a row have been lost, a bridge can fill the gap left in your smile in a sturdy and reliable fashion. This type of restoration also features crowns, which are fitted over adjacent healthy teeth in order to anchor the bridge in place.
Our practice offers both traditional bridges and implant-retained bridges, the latter of which we recommend as the healthier, more permanent option. We look forward to helping you explore your options for long-term tooth replacement.
