Dental crowns and dental bridges are part of many of the smile repairs we perform at our practice. The reason is simple – they give us many options when it comes to reviving our patients’ smiles.
When we take impressions for your new crown or bridge, we’ll use a digital scanner that lets you avoid a distasteful, goopy mess in your mouth. Our patients appreciate this small touch. Plus, digital X-rays and a 3-D cone beam CT scanner will help us plan out your treatment. For the ultimate convenience, you can get a crown in just one visit to our office.
Your dentist has several ways to use a crown or bridge for your smile repair:
- Single Crown – We’ll make a beautiful same-day crown using our in-house CEREC system to cap your damaged or diseased tooth. Getting a crown in one visit takes the hassle out of the process.
- Standard Fixed Bridge – A traditional bridge will fill a gap in your smile while anchoring to the teeth on either side.
- Implant-Supported Crown – A dental implant-crown combination will replace a missing tooth and restore your chewing capacity. Unlike a bridge, the other option for replacing a tooth, your other teeth are unaffected.
- Implant-Supported Bridge – While similar to a traditional bridge, this bridge instead anchors to dental implants. There’s no need to touch any other teeth. Implants also help prevent the bone loss that occurs after losing teeth.
- Inlays and Onlays – Often called partial crowns, these restorations are usually made from porcelain. They cover the top or the top and sides of a tooth respectively.
