Dental Crowns
Strengthening and Beautifying Your Smile
A dental crown, often referred to as a “dental cap”, is a custom-made restoration that covers the visible portion of a damaged tooth above the gum line. Designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, it provides a seamless and natural appearance. Crowns are used for teeth that are broken, cracked, treated by root canal, stained, decayed, or misshapen. They can also support dental bridges, restore dental implants, and serve cosmetic purposes. Meticulously crafted, dental crowns blend with your natural teeth and are designed for long-lasting durability.
Why You Might Need a Dental Crown:
- Reinforce fragile, root canal treated teeth
- Restore cracked teeth
- Renew worn-down or fractured teeth
- Conceal heavily stained or discolored teeth
- Cosmetic Enhancement
Dental Bridges
Bridging the Gap: Restore Your Smile with Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by spanning the gap between adjacent teeth or dental implants. It consists of artificial teeth, called Pontics, supported by dental crowns attached to the neighboring natural teeth or implants.
Why Choose Dental Bridges?
Missing teeth can leave us feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable. A dental bridge is a great way to get your smile looking and feeling normal again, but it also offers long term benefits for your other teeth and the bone health of your mouth. To sum it up, here are the advantages of a dental bridge:
Restore Your Smile: Bridges fill in gaps left by missing teeth, restoring the appearance of your smile and boosting your confidence.
Functional Improvement: By replacing missing teeth, bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, improving overall oral function and comfort.
Prevent Dental Issues: Bridges help maintain the alignment of your teeth and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of place, reducing the risk of dental problems such as bite misalignment and gum disease.
What’s The Process Of Getting A Crown and Bridge?
Consultation and Examining the Teeth
As with any other kind of dental treatment, everything starts with the dental examination, during which the doctor will check and clean your teeth so they are prepared for an easy fit. We assess your dental health and discuss treatment options tailored to your needs. If the tooth is broken or severely damaged by decay, we will remove the damaged areas and do a buildup of teeth if required, so the dental crown can do its work protecting the tooth from further decay and damage.
Shaping the tooth
Next, the dentist will gently reshape your tooth, take an impression or a scan and that will be used to construct a custom fit crown. While your permanent crown is crafted, you will be provided with a temporary dental crown that will be fitted onto your teeth until your next appointment. Our lab will use the impression taken to manufacture your own custom crown.
Placing the Crown or Bridge
At your second appointment, we will remove your temporary crown and replace it with a permanent crown. The crown will be secured using durable dental cement or a hidden screw. To complete the process, we will polish your crown and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your comfort. You will be provided post-care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your crown’s success.
