Dental Crowns & Dental Bridges…Choises For Restoring Your Aesthethic and Funcion
Dental Crowns
A Dental crown is a type of dental restoration we use if you have a damaged tooth due to decay or a deep cavity, a fracture, or a wear from bruxism (teeth grinding),; that cannot be restored with fillings or dental bonding.
The crown helps to restore its shape, strength, and appearance,; and protects the tooth from further damage and can restore its full function, which is important for chewing and speaking.
Dental Bridges
A bridge is a restoration which replaces one or more teeth.
When a tooth is lost, nearby teeth may tilt toward the empty space, also the teeth in the opposite jaw may move up or down toward the space. This empty places stress on both teeth and tissues in your mouth.
Dental Bridges work by using adjacent teeth as anchors to support a replacement tooth or set of teeth. This helps maintain proper alignment of the remaining teeth, preventing them from shifting and causing bite problems, discomfort, or even changes to the structure of your face.
A bridge helps maintain the natural shapes of your face, lips and cheeks.
Missing teeth can also affect the way you chew and speak.
