So if a person has a damaged tooth that requires a crown or a missing tooth that requires a bridge, crowns and bridges are both great options. They’re made of high quality, strong tooth-colored material that is placed on the tooth and it stays permanently. It’s gonna be stronger and function better for them and should be less problems in the long run.
So patients that get crowns and bridges to help repair damaged teeth, usually it improves their function, how comfortable daily activities, chewing, smiling, speaking, all those things are a benefit when a person restores their tooth with a crown or a bridge.
Reclaim Your Healthy Bite With a Crown or Bridge
When you choose Dentistry At Somerset for your oral health needs, you benefit from a practice that invests in their patients. We use advanced technology, such as our in-house milling machine and our iTero digital scanner, to make sure your appointments go smoothly. Since your dental crown or bridge is created in house, you won’t have to return another time for your customized restoration. Instead, the entire process can be completed in a single appointment.
We offer several types of crowns or bridges:
- A Single Dental Crown – A crown is placed over your tooth to restore its function after being damaged by decay or injury. It will blend in perfectly with your other teeth and give you back your healthy smile.
- Implant-Supported Crown – We can pair your crown with an implant to replace a missing tooth. It will feel and function like a regular tooth. You’ll be able to floss and bite or chew into food as if it was your natural tooth.
- Dental Bridge – A dental bridge can fill the gaps if you are missing one or several teeth in a row. We will anchor it to nearby teeth, creating a bridge where your teeth are missing.
- Implant-Supported Bridge – Rather than having to prepare healthy teeth, we can anchor your bridge to implants. It will give you a lifelike smile and restore your strong natural bite.
If you decide to opt for implants, your entire procedure can be done at our practice. There’s no reason to be nervous about treatment, either. We have anxiety-reducing inhalation therapy with nitrous “laughing gas” available.
