Missing or broken teeth can result in severe pain and lead patients to lose their confidence to smile and speak in public. Not only do missing teeth damage one's self-esteem, but it also makes it difficult to carry out general functions of the mouth. With the advances in modern restorative dentistry, Dr. Most and his expert team can help patients restore their smiles and help correct any dental concerns that they may have.
Crowns are dental restorations made of porcelain or ceramic material that can help restore lost enamel restoring teeth function and aesthetics. Ceramic or porcelain crowns are the popular choices of restoration as they easily blend in with the color of natural teeth.
Damaged, cracked, broken, or misshapen teeth may be restored by using cap-like restorations in the form of crowns. Dental crowns may be supported by implants or can be used to cover and shield weak tooth structures restored after a dental filling or root canal. The crown would be molded, filed, polished, and cemented into place by using dental adhesives.
Dental bridges are a perfect means to restore lost or missing teeth. They are often made of porcelain or ceramic, and some would even be fused to metal to achieve durability and aesthetics.
The missing tooth area, also known as the pontic, would be held in between by adjacent crowns that would rest on top of natural healthy-looking teeth. Pontics are generally made out of naturally-looking ceramic material to make it appear aesthetically pleasing and enamel-like. Bridges may also be supported by dental implants offering more stability and durability.
Dr. Most would generally recommend his patients with crowns and bridges in the following scenarios:
