From Broken to Beautiful: Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are restorations designed to look and function just like natural teeth, and they get their name from the fact that they literally fit over the top of a damaged tooth. This helps protect the remaining natural structure while bringing back the enamel’s strength and appearance. Dental crowns are very versatile, and with one, we can:
- Repair a cavity that is too large for a filling
- Keep a cracked tooth from breaking
- Replace broken dental structure
- Enhance a cosmetically imperfect tooth
- Strengthen teeth treated with root canal therapy
- Balance the bite to address TMJ (jaw) issues
- Replace a missing tooth (when paired with a dental implant)
Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, porcelain, and porcelain-fused-to-metal. The one we choose to use is based on the location of the tooth as well as the patient’s preferences. Metal is extremely sturdy and better for the back teeth, while natural-looking porcelain crowns are ideally suited for restoring the front teeth that show in the smile.
Close the Gaps: Dental Bridges
Bridges are able to literally bridge the gap left by one to three missing teeth in a row to help a patient close any spaces in their smile. They are typically held in place using dental crowns positioned on the surrounding teeth, but they can also be secured using dental implants. Either way, they can help a patient quickly reclaim their normal appearance as well as their full chewing function. Plus, they can prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting into the gap, which is always a possibility with untreated tooth loss.
