Dental Crowns & Bridges
Crowns and bridges help restore a smile that has gaps in it. A person can feel more confident smiling and not worry that they will show their missing teeth.
Dental Crowns & Dental Bridges
At Plaza Dental Group, we use crowns and bridges to restore both the strength and appearance of your smile. If you have damaged teeth or gaps from missing teeth, these trusted treatments can bring back your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made covering that fits over a weakened or damaged tooth. Crowns protect teeth that have been affected by cracks, decay, large fillings, or root canal treatment, restoring their stability and natural function. They are commonly used on back teeth, where cavities are more frequent, but can also be placed on front teeth for both strength and aesthetics.
Made from durable porcelain, crowns blend naturally with your surrounding teeth. They not only protect and strengthen a damaged tooth but also improve its appearance. The process is straightforward: after gently shaping the tooth, we bond the crown securely in place, providing long-lasting protection that can last for many years with proper care.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring crowns on the teeth beside the gap, with an artificial tooth or teeth secured between them. This creates a stable restoration that looks natural and restores proper chewing and speaking function.
Like crowns, bridges are designed to look seamless and feel comfortable. However, they require proper care, including good oral hygiene and regular cleanings, to ensure long-term success. Our team will guide you on how to keep your crown or bridge strong, clean, and healthy.
