Schedule your AppointmentWhat are dental crowns and bridges?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They protect and strengthen teeth that cannot be restored with fillings alone. Dental bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Crowns and bridges are both common restorative treatments that improve the function and aesthetics of your smile, helping you chew, speak, and maintain proper tooth alignment.
Can crowns and bridges fix missing teeth?
Yes, crowns and bridges are effective solutions for replacing missing teeth. A dental bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth by anchoring a prosthetic tooth to the adjacent natural teeth or implants, restoring both function and appearance. Crowns can be placed on the adjacent teeth to support the bridge and provide stability. This helps prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, maintains bite alignment, and restores the patient’s ability to chew and speak properly. Together, crowns and bridges offer a long-term solution to restore a complete smile.
Why should you choose a prosthodontist for your dental crown or bridge treatment?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist trained in restoring and replacing teeth, making them an ideal choice for crown or bridge treatments. They have advanced expertise in designing, fabricating, and fitting dental prosthetics, ensuring the best possible functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Prosthodontists are skilled in addressing complex cases and can provide customized treatment plans that suit your specific needs. By choosing a board-certified prosthodontist like Dr. Lefler, you’re working with a specialist who focuses on achieving long-term durability, comfort, and a natural-looking smile with your dental crowns or bridges.
