What is a dental crown?
When a tooth is too damaged for simpler restorations, dental crowns step in to save the day. A crown is a custom restoration that is worn over a tooth to enhance its shape, size, and strength. Think of a crown as a protective cap placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its health and functionality while giving it a fresh look.
We can use dental crowns to:
- Repair extensively decayed or broken teeth
- Replace an old, worn-out filling or onlay
- Enhance the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth
- Complete an implant or support a bridge to replace missing teeth
- Strengthen a significantly weakened tooth
Dental crowns are necessary when damage is too extensive for a filling or onlay to provide long-lasting, sustainable results. They can also be combined with other restorations to replace one or multiple missing teeth.
What is a dental bridge?
A missing tooth anywhere in the mouth should be replaced as soon as possible. Tooth loss affects your speech, chewing ability, and smiling is never the same. A dental bridge is a simple solution for replacing one or multiple teeth.
A bridge consists of artificial teeth (pontics) secured by crowns on the neighboring teeth or by dental implants. Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly while keeping your bite aligned. They are also created from life-like materials to ensure a seamless appearance.
What is the procedure for placing bridges and crowns?
Caring Smile Dental can place dental crowns and bridges in as few as two to three visits. First, the dentist will inspect your smile to determine its suitability for a crown or bridgework. Often, this involves using X-rays to reveal dental problems that are not visible to the naked eye.
After consultation, the other steps include.
- Teeth preparation: Our team will gently reshape your tooth (or support teeth for bridges) to create space for your crown. Then, we’ll take precise scans of your teeth to ensure custom fabrication of your restoration.
- Fabrication: We’ll send your scans to our dental lab, which has consistently made high-quality restorations over the years. As your bridge or crown is created, we’ll protect the prepped teeth with a temporary restoration.
- Placement: Once your restoration is ready, you’ll reserve an appointment for placement. The dentist will make a few adjustments to ensure your crowns and bridgework feel and look right. The final step is to cement your restoration to your teeth with durable adhesives.
Losing or damaging a tooth can be a stressful experience. It’s not just about appearance—compromised teeth can make eating and chewing challenging. Thankfully, dental crowns and bridges can make your smile whole again, allowing you to enjoy life without limitations.
