Crowns & Bridges – Get Rid of the Gaps in Your Smile

Fill in the Blanks with Crowns & Bridges

Living with missing teeth is both a burden and a hazard alike. It doesn’t feel good to smile when you have gaps in your teeth. Aside from that, there are a lot of health risks associated with missing teeth. It can leave you at greater risk for health issues that are brought on by gum disease.

Gum disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and cancer making it more than just an aesthetic issue. Luckily, we can replace missing teeth using bridges and crowns!

Bridges work by spanning the gap in your teeth, and the crown is an artificial tooth that is indistinguishable from the real thing. Using this treatment, we can fix missing teeth and reduce the risk of gum disease and its associated risks! Patients who rectify their missing teeth tend to feel better physically and mentally as well.

Each of our 32 natural teeth was designed and positioned to share the task of chewing and smiling with incredible beauty and efficiency. Crowns and bridges were developed to restore badly damaged or missing teeth to their natural beauty and performance.

A crown – sometimes called a cap – is usually made of gold, porcelain, or a special plastic material. We prepare the tooth for an impression and plaster model so our dental laboratory can create a custom-fitted crown that looks and functions like your real tooth. Once we permanently cement the new crown into place, your smile will look, feel, and work exactly as nature designed it to.

A bridge is a combination of crowns and artificial teeth. Bridges can close the gap left by one or more missing teeth, restoring the look of your smile, and redistributing the workload more evenly. Others are permanently bonded to your healthy teeth with crowns. In some cases, we might suggest an artificial tooth implanted right into your jawbone.

Sometimes we can use crowns and bridges to prevent damage along with more extensive and costly dental work. For example, if we wait until a large filling falls apart, we risk weakening the nerve of the tooth or fracturing the root. Early, preventive treatment on a high-risk tooth not only saves time and money, but it may also save your tooth.
