Crowns and bridges are essential for restoring and enhancing teeth that have been damaged or replacing missing teeth. A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a versatile solution used to entirely cover a damaged tooth. Beyond strengthening the tooth, it can significantly improve its appearance, shape, and alignment.
Crowns may be used to:
- Replace a large filling when minimal tooth structure remains.
- Protect a weak tooth from potential fracturing.
- Restore a fractured tooth to its original form and function.
- Serve as an attachment point for a dental bridge.
- Cover a dental implant for a natural look and feel.
- Conceal a discolored or poorly shaped tooth for improved aesthetics.
- Cover a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment for added protection.
At Caldwell, Bills, Petrilli & West Dentistry, we specialize in crowns that not only restore your oral health but also enhance your smile. Our “before and after crowns” gallery showcases the transformative effects of our work.
In addition to dental crowns, we offer dental bridges as a reliable method to fill the gaps left by missing teeth. A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth securely cemented in place, using adjacent teeth for support. This solution not only restores missing teeth functionally but also enhances your smile’s cosmetic appeal. The materials we use for bridges include the exceptionally strong ceramic, Zirconia, and the aesthetically pleasing EMAX, depending on your specific needs for strength, durability, and esthetics.
