Repair Teeth with Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are ceramic or porcelain restorations that “cap” a damaged or treated tooth. In most cases, dental crowns are ideal for teeth that are chipped, worn down, severely discolored, or cosmetically damaged. Similarly, a dental crown restores strength to a tooth after root canal therapy and attaches to a dental implant. Dental crowns are incredibly strong and color-matched to your existing teeth. But unlike natural teeth, they won’t stain or decay! You’re an ideal candidate for a dental crown if you’re in the following situation:
- Severely cracked or chipped a tooth
- Wore down a tooth or teeth
- Irreversibly discolored teeth
- Had root canal therapy
- Invested in a dental implant
Replace Lost Teeth with a Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is a series of dental crowns all milled from a single block of strong, natural-looking material. Dental bridges are custom-made to perfectly fit the natural contours of your jaw and replace the exact number of teeth you’re missing. Our prosthodontists are specialized in dental bridges and create incredibly natural-looking and strong restorations, even if you’re missing one or more front teeth. Dental bridges are excellent solutions for missing teeth, providing the following benefits:
- Restore function and aesthetics after tooth loss
- Keep teeth from shifting and altering your bite
- Improve your dental function and health
- Boost your self-confidence!
