Crowns and Bridges
Quality Dental Crowns and Bridges in CDO
Above Dental Care offers high-quality dental crowns and bridges that enhance your smile and restore functionality. Our custom-made solutions seamlessly blend with your natural teeth, eliminating gaps and imperfections.
What are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
Both crowns and bridges are vital tools in dental restoration that we use to enhance your dental function and appearance. They serve distinct roles tailored to your specific needs.
We use crowns to address issues with single-damaged teeth, providing strength and protection. In contrast, bridges offer comprehensive solutions for replacing multiple missing teeth, restoring your smile, and maintaining proper dental alignment.
Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges
Restored Functionality
Dental crowns and bridges are highly effective in restoring the functionality of damaged or missing teeth, enabling our patients to chew and speak with ease and confidence.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Our customized dental crowns and bridges are meticulously designed to seamlessly blend with our patients’ natural teeth, resulting in a beautiful smile that boosts their self-esteem and overall appearance.
Preventive Care
By providing a protective barrier, dental crowns shield weakened teeth from decay, thereby, preventing the need for more extensive treatments.
Long -Term Durability
With proper care and maintenance, our dental crowns and bridges offer exceptional durability, thus, providing our patients with long-lasting solutions for their dental restoration needs.
Improved Confidence
By addressing dental issues and enhancing smile aesthetics, our dental crowns and bridges play a significant role in improving our patients’ confidence and overall well-being. Moreover, a beautiful smile can positively impact various aspects of their lives, ranging from personal relationships to professional success.
Why Above Dental Care
Dental Crowns
Types of Dental Crowns
Porcelain Crown
A porcelain crown is an excellent choice for patients seeking a natural-looking restoration that seamlessly blends with their surrounding teeth.
Ceramic Crown
Ceramic crowns offer exceptional durability and resistance to staining. Consequently, they are a preferred option for restoring both anterior and posterior teeth.
Metal Crown
Metal crowns, such as gold or silver, provide exceptional strength and are often recommended for molars that require added support.
Porcelain-fused-to-Metal Crown
This type of crown combines the strength of a metal base with the aesthetic appeal of a porcelain outer layer. Consequently, it offers both durability and a natural appearance.
Dental Bridges
Types of Dental Bridges
Traditional Bridge
A traditional bridge is a reliable option for replacing one or more missing teeth, utilizing adjacent healthy teeth as support for the pontics.
Cantilever Bridge
When only one healthy adjacent tooth is available for support, a cantilever bridge is a suitable choice. In this case, the pontic is attached to a single crown.
Maryland Bridge
Also known as a resin-bonded bridge, this conservative option utilizes a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth. Consequently, it provides both stability and aesthetics.
Implant-Supported Bridge
In cases where multiple teeth are missing, an implant-supported bridge offers a secure and long-lasting solution by anchoring the bridge to dental implants.
These examples showcase the range of dental crowns and bridges available to our patients. By understanding their unique dental needs and preferences, we can recommend the most appropriate option for them. Furthermore, at our practice, we prioritize providing personalized and effective dental restorations that not only enhance functionality but also exceed our patients’ expectations.
FAQ
Most Question We Had
Our FAQ section answers your questions about Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns, when properly cared for, can last for many years, often 10-15 years or even longer. The lifespan can vary depending on the material used, your oral hygiene habits, and how much wear and tear the crown experiences. Good oral hygiene, regular checkups, and avoiding biting hard objects can help extend the life of your crown.
The cost of a dental crown can vary significantly depending on the material used, the location of the tooth, and the complexity of the procedure. Porcelain crowns are generally the most expensive, followed by gold crowns, and then metal crowns. Your dentist can provide you with a personalized quote based on your specific needs.
Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between two existing teeth. They consist of crowns that are placed on the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth (pontic) in between. Bridges help restore your smile, chewing function, and speech, and they also prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
There are several types of dental bridges, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Traditional bridges are the most common, using crowns on both sides of the gap. Cantilever bridges use a crown on only one side, while Maryland bridges utilize a framework bonded to the back of the abutment teeth. Implant-supported bridges are anchored by dental implants, offering the most stable and durable option.
