Crowns are an excellent solution for damaged or decayed teeth and are used to protect weakened teeth that underwent a root canal.
Severe decay, cracks, and root canal therapy can compromise the strength of a tooth and cause pain. A dental crown completely surrounds the visible portion of your comprised natural tooth to strengthen it and reduce the risk of further complications. At your first appointment, we gently numb the tooth before cleaning out decay, prep it for the crown by shaping it, and take impressions. We partner only with top dental labs with highly-skilled technicians that employ fine craftsmanship to create beautiful porcelain crowns. This ensures that your crown will blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and fit perfectly. We create a fully functional temporary crown of acrylic until the final crown comes back from the lab and you return for your fitting. Dental crowns offer numerous advantages, including:
If you’ve lost a tooth and aren’t ready to commit to a dental implant, a dental bridge is your next best option. A dental bridge spans the gap that a missing tooth creates and attaches to your natural teeth on either side. The bridge includes an artificial tooth which is seamlessly anchored to your existing teeth for proper fit and alignment. The teeth adjacent to the artificial tooth require dental crowns to provide adequate support. With traditional bridges, we file the enamel off your anchor teeth and if they don’t already have crowns, prepare them for crowns. As with crowns, we only work with top dental labs to ensure your dental bridge is fabricated from the highest-quality materials and color-matched to look natural alongside your existing teeth. Once the restorations are ready, the bridge with the artificial tooth is attached to the crowned teeth. The benefits of dental bridges:
