A dental crown is a versatile, durable dental restoration designed to encase and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. Crafted from porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, the crown is custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of the natural tooth it covers. This tooth cap is precisely fitted over the existing tooth, providing strength and stability.
Dental crowns serve various purposes, including reinforcing a tooth following significant decay, restoring a broken or cracked tooth, supporting a tooth after a root canal procedure, or improving the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth. Dental crowns contribute to functional and aesthetic enhancements by effectively mimicking the natural tooth structure, ensuring a resilient and visually pleasing smile.
Dental bridges are an esthetically pleasing solution for replacing missing teeth. Comprising one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, a dental bridge spans the gap created by the missing teeth. The bridge is anchored by attaching to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. This restoration not only restores the functionality of chewing and speaking but also helps maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth.
Dental bridges can be made from materials like porcelain or ceramic, ensuring a natural appearance that seamlessly blends with the existing teeth. Beyond the functional benefits, dental bridges contribute to an enhanced smile, providing structural support and cosmetic improvement if you have missing teeth.
Dental crowns and bridges may be essential to your oral healthcare needs. However, we understand that they can often come as an unexpected expense that doesn’t fit comfortably in your budget. No two smiles are alike, and your dental care needs will differ from anyone else’s. The best way to estimate how much your restorations will cost is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Poulson.
