What Are Crowns and Bridges?
Dental restorations like crowns and bridges are prosthetic teeth that either protect an existing tooth structure or replace missing teeth. We offer custom dental restorations that we tailor to match any tooth, from molars to incisors, in your upper or lower arch of teeth. Our dentists provide conventional and implant-supported crowns and bridges to meet your specific needs, lifestyle, and smile goals.
Traditional dental crowns consist of a prosthetic tooth that fits over a damaged or worn tooth to protect it from the forces exerted when you chew. Tooth bridges have a crown at the beginning and end of the restoration with prosthetic teeth, known as pontics, suspended between them.
Crowns and bridges are highly versatile, and we offer both traditional and implant-supported varieties. Dental implants are the only dental restoration that replace an entire tooth from root to crown, offering additional benefits to our beautiful bridges and crowns. Dental implants consist of an implant post, an abutment, and prosthetic teeth. The implant post is made from a body-safe material such as titanium and performs the vital function of stimulating your jawbone to help you maintain good oral health and stable bone structure.
Do I Need a Dental Crown or Tooth Bridge?
If you have a worn or decaying tooth, a dental crown is necessary to protect your existing tooth structure from further damage or becoming an access point for infection. Dental bridges are an effective way to replace one or multiple teeth in a row. If you're not sure whether you need a dental crown or tooth bridge, we will examine your teeth and provide honest feedback about your oral health and needs. Here are some of the reasons you may need a dental crown or bridge:
- A tooth with a large cavity
- Worn tooth
- Chipped or cracked tooth
- A tooth that is too small
- Decaying tooth
- Missing tooth
Our Tooth Crown and Bridge Process
Our team is dedicated to renewing your smile with quality dental crowns and bridges. We prioritize your oral health and preferences by taking the time to get to know you and asking questions to ensure we fully understand your concerns, needs, and goals. Our dentists combine years of experience with a comforting chairside manner to help you feel relaxed and calm.
We begin with a gentle, thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and jaws, complete with imaging and measurements to create a detailed and accurate restoration. Our team artfully matches your crown or bridge to the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth to create a seamlessly blended smile. If you select a traditional crown or bridge, once your custom restoration is complete, you'll return to our office for the final fitting and walk out with a renewed smile.
If you choose an implant-supported dental crown or bridge, the first procedure involves strategically placing the implant post. Following this appointment, there's a period of time to allow your dental structures to heal and the titanium post to fuse with your jawbone. The final appointment includes fitting and securing your personalized crown or bridge, and you're ready to share your rejuvenated smile.
Dental Crowns and Tooth Bridge FAQs
Restoring your smile is a personal and complex journey, and it's natural to have questions. That's why we encourage you to voice your questions and concerns. Our friendly team of dentists is happy to provide the answers and resources you need to make an informed decision regarding your treatment plan. Here are some of the most common questions we receive about crowns and tooth bridges in Maryville:
Whitening treatments are effective at lifting surface stains from natural teeth. However, dental restorations are color-matched to your current smile so they blend in, and cannot be brightened with whitening treatments. Fortunately, they are stain-resistant and will not discolor the way natural teeth do.
Dental restorations are easy to care for because you simply brush and floss them just like your natural teeth. It's important to maintain your biannual dental appointments so our team can verify the integrity of your dental crown or bridge.
Dental crowns and bridges are durable and can last for over a decade when you care for them properly. Our compassionate team will provide helpful tips and instructions to improve the longevity of your restoration.
