Crown and Bridge: what is a crown? A dental crown is a tooth-shaped, custom-made “cap” that is placed over a damaged or broken tooth to protect the underlying tooth from fracture and to make it look like a healthy normal tooth.
When is a dental crown needed?
Your dentist may recommend you getting a dental crown if you have.
- to shield teeth that are cracked or worn down.
- Replace huge fillings that are not long-lasting.
- Stopping future tooth damage, such as cracking or fracturing
- after receiving root canal therapy to lengthen the tooth’s life and strength.
- to disguise crooked or discoloured teeth for better aesthetics
Dental crowns are made of many different materials and your dentist will discuss your preferences with you. The most popular options are Porcelain and zirconia crowns as they are very life-like and strong and can last many years. We also offer metal/gold crowns in select cases.
Dental bridge:
A dental bridge can help restore the appearance and functionality of your teeth if you have one or more missing teeth.
A prosthetic tooth or teeth are fixed to nearby healthy teeth as part of a dental bridge.
Who can benefit from a dental Bridge near Woodlea?
If you have a missing tooth or teeth at the front of your mouth, this can be an aesthetic concern and prevent you from giving your best smile. You may be a good candidate for a dental bridge.
If you have a back tooth or teeth missing, the remaining teeth are now bearing additional load and are at a greater risk of also breaking down and being lost. Additionally, when a tooth is absent for a long time, the teeth on each side of it (and those in the opposite jaw) will progressively migrate and tilt into the available space affecting bite and aesthetics further. Restoring missing teeth with a dental bridge solves these problems and restores your aesthetic and function.
