Crowns & Bridges Can Fix Many Kinds Of Damage

From broken teeth to missing teeth, your dentist can use crowns and bridges to fix many kinds of dental damage. A crown will:

• Strengthen a cracked, chipped, or worn-down tooth to prevent further damage
• Mend a broken tooth
• Repair a tooth that has more decay than a filling can fix
• Conceal cosmetic flaws like a stained or misshapen tooth
• Cover a tooth following a root canal procedure to restore structure and ensure no bacteria can get inside
• Replace a missing tooth when it’s attached to a dental implant

If your damage isn’t extensive enough for a crown, we can use an inlay or an onlay to repair it. These restorations are often called partial crowns. Unlike a crown, they cover only part of the surface of your tooth rather than the entire tooth.

A bridge is a restoration made up of one or more artificial teeth attached to dental crowns on either side of a gap in your smile. Unlike dentures, you won’t need to remove a bridge for cleaning.

No matter which kind of treatment you receive, we’ll use leading-edge technology like digital dental impressions to keep your procedures as comfortable as possible.

Dental Implants Minimize The Impact On Your Natural Teeth

You can replace a single missing tooth with a conventional bridge. However, we’ll need to modify the two teeth on either side of the missing one to prepare them for crowns to support the bridge. To avoid touching your healthy teeth, we can attach a single crown to a single dental implant instead. In addition, the implant will stimulate your jaw in the same way that a natural tooth root does, so you won’t lose bone density in your jaw.

You can also replace multiple teeth with an implant bridge. Instead of anchoring the bridge to crowns placed on nearby teeth, your dentist can use implants to support the bridge. Just like the implant crown, an implant-supported bridge prevents the bone loss that occurs after teeth are lost.
