Dental Crowns & Bridges: Restoring Your Smile’s Strength and Beauty
At Tri City Dental Center, we understand the impact that damaged or missing teeth can have on your confidence and oral health. Our custom dental crowns and bridges offer durable and natural-looking solutions to restore the function, strength, and aesthetics of your smile. Whether you have a single damaged tooth or multiple missing teeth, we can help you achieve a healthy, complete smile you’ll be proud to show off.
What are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown, often called a “cap,” is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns are used to:
- Protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
- Restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down.
- Cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t much tooth structure left.
- Hold a dental bridge in place.
- Cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth.
- Cover a dental implant.
We offer crowns made from various high-quality materials, including porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, and metal alloys, to ensure the best aesthetic and functional outcome for your unique needs.
What are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It “bridges” the gap created by missing teeth by anchoring to existing natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. Bridges help to:
- Restore your smile.
- Restore your ability to properly chew and speak.
- Maintain the shape of your face.
- Distribute the forces in your bite by replacing missing teeth.
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
The Crown & Bridge Process
The process for receiving a dental crown or bridge typically involves a few appointments at Tri City Dental Center. We begin with a thorough examination and digital imaging to assess your oral health. If a crown or bridge is recommended, we will prepare the affected tooth (or teeth) and take precise digital impressions using our intraoral scanner. A temporary restoration may be placed while your custom crown or bridge is fabricated. Once your permanent restoration is ready, we will carefully bond it into place, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
