At Excellence Dental, we provide custom porcelain crowns and bridges to restore your smile. Our team uses advanced dental technology to ensure each restoration fits perfectly. We’re committed to helping you regain both the function and appearance of your smile.
What Are Crowns?
Crowns, or caps, cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth. Unlike fillings, which repair a small part of a tooth, crowns restore the entire structure. This makes them the ideal solution for teeth that are severely damaged, broken, or weakened.
Porcelain crowns are a popular choice because they look natural and are strong. With proper care, these crowns can last many years. However, like all restorations, they may need repair or replacement as time goes on.
What Are Bridges?
Bridges replace one or more missing teeth. They anchor to the surrounding teeth with crowns and hold a false tooth in between. Bridges restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. They also prevent nearby teeth from shifting, which can lead to misalignment.
Why You Might Need a Crown or Bridge
Crowns repair broken, fractured, or decayed teeth. They also improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth. If you have large, failing fillings, a crown offers a stable solution. Crowns also complete dental implants by covering the implant and creating a natural look. Bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth, restoring your smile and its function.
What to Expect During the Procedure
At Excellence Dental, we complete the crown or bridge procedure in two visits. During the first appointment, our dentist will prepare your tooth by removing decay and shaping it for the crown or bridge. We then take impressions to create your custom restoration. You’ll wear a temporary crown or bridge to protect your tooth while we craft your permanent one.
When you return for the second appointment, we remove the temporary restoration and fit the permanent one. Our dentist will ensure the crown or bridge fits comfortably and functions properly. We will also adjust your bite if needed for a perfect fit.
Caring for Your Crowns and Bridges
To maintain your crowns and bridges, practice good oral hygiene. Brush and floss daily, especially around the restoration. Visit Excellence Dental regularly for checkups. With proper care, your crown or bridge can last for many years, keeping your smile healthy and strong.
