Restore Your Teeth with Long-Lasting Dental Crowns and Bridges

Restore Your Teeth with Long-Lasting Dental Crowns and Bridges

Common situations where dental crowns & Bridges are typically required

1. Severe tooth decay: When a tooth is really damaged or has a lot of decay, a dental crown is used to fix it and make it strong again.

2. Cracked or fractured teeth: Teeth with cracks or fractures may require crowns to provide strength, support, and protection against further damage.

3. Root canal treatment: After a root canal treatment, the tooth becomes weaker and needs a crown to support and protect it.

4. Missing teeth: Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth when there are gaps in the mouth.

5. Preventing tooth movement: Empty spaces created by missing teeth can cause the surrounding teeth to shift or tilt, leading to bite misalignment.

Dental Crown & Bridges Process:

Step 1: Consultation and Examination

When you visit our clinic for a dental crown or bridge, we will begin by conducting a thorough examination of your teeth and gums.

We will discuss your concerns, evaluate the condition of the affected teeth, and determine whether a crown or bridge is the most suitable solution for you.

Step 2. Tooth preparation

If a dental crown is needed, we will first prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damaged portions. We will then reshape the tooth to create a stable foundation for the crown.

In the case of a dental bridge, the adjacent teeth to the missing tooth or teeth will be prepared similarly.

Step 3: Impression and Temporary Restoration

Next, we will take an impression of the prepared tooth or teeth, as well as the surrounding area. This impression will serve as a model for the dental laboratory to create your custom crown or bridge.

While the permanent restoration is being fabricated, we will provide you with a temporary crown or bridge to protect the prepared teeth.

Step 4: Custom Fabrication

At our clinic, we work closely with a dental laboratory to craft your permanent crown or bridge. Highly skilled technicians will use the impression we provided to create a restoration that matches the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. This process typically takes a couple of weeks.

Step 5: Placement of the Crown or Bridge

Once your permanent crown or bridge is ready, we will schedule a follow-up appointment. During this visit, we will remove the temporary restoration and carefully place the permanent crown or bridge onto the prepared tooth or teeth.

We will ensure that the fit is comfortable and that your bite is properly aligned. Once everything is in place, we will bond the restoration securely using dental cement.

I recently had a broken tooth that required fixing, and I must say, the experience was excellent. Moreover, we've chosen this same dentist to take care of my 2-year-old son's dental treatments. Next week, I'll be going in for a wisdom tooth extraction. We are really grateful to have found such a skilled and caring family dentist.
