Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth. It’s a popular restorative treatment that can restore the tooth’s function, appearance, and strength.
Why Do I Need a Dental Crown?
Here are several reasons that you might need a dental crown.
Severe Tooth Decay: When a cavity becomes too large, a filling may no longer be sufficient to repair the damage. A crown can provide a more durable solution.
Cracked or Broken Teeth: If a tooth is cracked or broken, a crown can protect the remaining tooth structure and prevent further damage.
Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal procedure, a crown is often necessary to strengthen the weakened tooth and protect it from fracture.
Cosmetic Reasons: Crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes, such as improving the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge consists of artificial teeth that replace missing spaces in your mouth. They can be used to replace one tooth or multiple teeth. As the name implies, a dental bridge creates a “bridge” over the missing space. It’s important to note that there are different types of dental bridges. Your provider will choose the best option for your needs and oral health goals.
