What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped and colored caps that fit over weak or damaged natural teeth, restoring their appearance and function while also providing strength and support. Dental bridges, on the other hand, are fixed, custom restorations that bridge gaps in your smile left by one or more missing teeth in a row.
At Kearny Dental Associates, we offer dental crowns and bridges created from the highest-quality materials, including porcelain, e.max, and zirconia. Our custom-crafted restorations are closely matched to your natural teeth, leaving you with seamless results.
Why Would You Need a Dental Crown or Bridge?
Dental crowns and bridges are versatile and aesthetic restorations that can be used to serve many purposes, including the following:
- Restoring severely decayed teeth that traditional dental fillings cannot repair
- Fortifying teeth with large fillings and not much healthy tooth structure
- Strengthening teeth weakened after root canal treatment
- Repairing weak, cracked, worn, or otherwise damaged teeth
- Covering dental implants or supporting dental bridges
- Closing minor gaps or uneven spaces between teeth
- Addressing minor tooth misalignment concerns
- Improving the color, shape, length, size, or appearance of a tooth
Here’s a look at why you may need a dental bridge:
- Filling the space left by one or more missing adjacent teeth
- Maintaining your facial structure and youthful contours
- Preventing the surrounding teeth from shifting toward the gap
- Restoring function so you can speak clearly and enjoy your favorite foods once again
- Redistributing the chewing forces helps lower the risk of tooth wear, fracture, or TMJ pain
What Is the Crown and Bridge Placement Process?
Placing a dental crown begins by shaping the affected tooth by removing a small amount of its structure to accommodate your restoration. For a dental bridge, we will reshape the two teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth), in preparation for the dental crowns that will hold your replacement teeth (pontics) in place.
The next step is taking digital impressions of the area, which will serve as blueprints for your new crown or bridge. A temporary restoration will protect your prepared tooth or teeth while a dental laboratory creates your new restoration.
When your new dental crown or bridge is ready, we will make sure it provides a perfect fit and color match before cementing it to your prepared tooth or teeth. The last step is to make any needed adjustments to ensure you enjoy a comfortable bite. Your new restoration will leave you with a beautiful, healthy, and functional smile.
