Crown & Bridge
What Are Dental Crowns?
These dental prosthetics could be made of ceramic or porcelain. The crowns or caps are affixed to the natural tooth and help restore its look. The caps are extremely resilient and last for a number of years as long as they are maintained well.
When Would I Need A Crown?
- Large Fillings
If you have a very large filling, it can weaken the tooth’s structure, making it more prone to damage. Placing a crown over it is one of the best ways to prevent deterioration and add strength to the existing tooth and its socket. - Root Canal
Once a root canal has been done, a dental crown would need to be placed over the tooth to protect it and strengthen the structure. - Chipped Or Cracked Teeth
Teeth
that have cracks or have become chipped or damaged in any way are more vulnerable to infections and decay. In addition, they mar the appearance of your smile as well. The best way to restore the appearance of cracked or chipped teeth is to get dental crowns in Miami, FL fixed on them.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a permanent dental fixture. People get dental bridges for many reasons, including to fill in the space of a missing tooth, to prevent teeth from drifting out of position, restore a person’s smile, upgrade a mouth from a partial dentures, or to maintain face shape.
Getting a bridge normally requires at least 2 dental appointments. During the first visit, the dentist numbs the relevant teeth and removes part of the enamel to make room for a crown. The patient then gets molds made of their teeth that ensure that the dental laboratory makes a dental bridge that fits their mouth. The dentist puts a temporary bridge into the patient’s mouth that are worn until the next appointment.
During the second visit, the permanent bridge is put in place, adjusted, cemented into place.
