What Are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-created caps that cover the visible surfaces of weak or damaged teeth, restoring their health, function, and natural appearance. At State Street Smiles, we offer best-in-class crown materials, including porcelain, e-max, and zirconia.
We may recommend dental crowns for the following purposes:
- To restore severely decayed or cracked teeth
- To protect teeth after root canal therapy
- To restore teeth with broken cusps
- To provide support for dental bridges
- To cover dental implants, restoring complete smiles
- To make cosmetic enhancements in terms of the color, shape, size, and overall appearance of teeth
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges can be ideal for replacing one or several missing teeth in a row. They consist of aesthetic crowns placed on natural teeth with one or more prosthetic teeth in between. Like crowns, we create bridges from the highest-quality materials, usually zirconia.
We may recommend a dental bridge for the following purposes:
- To replace one or more adjacent missing teeth
- To complete your smile after tooth extraction
- To restore missing or failing teeth due to periodontal disease, trauma, or deep decay
What Is the Dental Crown or Bridge Placement Process?
Placing a dental crown begins with preparing the affected tooth by removing some of its structure to make room for your restoration. Similarly, preparing to place a bridge requires reshaping the teeth on either side of the gap to accommodate supporting crowns.
The next step is taking digital 3D impressions of your prepared teeth to use as blueprints for your new restorations. Skilled technicians at a dental lab will use your impressions to carefully craft your custom dental crown or bridge, providing a perfect match to your smile. Meanwhile, we’ll place a temporary crown or bridge to protect your prepared teeth.
When your crown or bridge is ready, we will check it for a perfect fit and color match before cementing it in place. We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and function.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges?
Dental crowns and bridges offer numerous benefits, including the following:
- They Are Natural-Looking:Our dental crowns and bridges mimic the color, shape, and appearance of your natural teeth, delivering beautifully natural smiles.
- They Restore Function:Your new crown or bridge will help you chew and eat with comfort, speak with clarity, and smile with confidence once again.
- They Enhance Your Oral Health: Restoring a tooth with a crown helps provide support and protection, lowering the risk of future decay, damage, or breakage.
- They Stop Teeth from Shifting: A dental bridge can keep the remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment, preventing misaligned teeth and problems with the bite.
- They Improve Balance: Dental crowns and bridges can help redistribute the forces of your bite, reducing your risk of gum disease, tooth wear or fracture, and TMJ pain.
- They Are Durable:We use high-quality materials to create durable restorations that can last for many years with proper care and maintenance.
