Dental Crowns &
Bridges
At Aspen Dental Care, we provide dental crowns and bridges as treatments to correct your smile and fill the gaps in your smile.
What are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a tooth covering that encases the entire tooth surface resembling it’s original shape and size.It is made out of porcelain, Zirconia or metal alloys. The zirconia crowns are the latest and most preferred dental crowns.
Crowns protect and strengthen the structure of a tooth when the tooth cannot be restored with fillings or other more minimal types of restorations.
Crowns are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced.
Why Might I Need a Crown?
- Broken or fractured teeth
- Cosmetic enhancement
- Decayed teeth
- Fractured fillings
- Large fillings
- Tooth has a root canal
What is a Dental Bridge?
In case you are missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge is used to cover the gaps between your teeth. It is two or more crowns joined together which takes support from firm teeth or an implant on either side of the gap.There are several types of bridges. Your dentist at Aspen Dental care will discuss the best options for your particular case.
Why Do I Need a Dental Bridge?
- Fill space of missing teeth
- Maintain facial shape
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
- Restore chewing and speaking ability
- Restore your smile
- To avoid hassles of a removable partial denture
Choosing the Best Dental Bridge for You
When it comes to single tooth replacement, the best option would be a dental implant and crown. This kind of replacement is better for your natural smile and offers long lasting results. However, dental implants are not always suitable for everyone.
During your consultation at Aspen Dental Care, we will assess your smile and ensure you are getting the best possible treatment available for you. Contact our clinic for more information about custom crowns and bridges!
