Crowns & Bridges in La Crête
A missing or cracked tooth can destroy a person’s confidence. It can affect their social, professional, and personal life in ways you would not imagine until it happens. Fortunately, dentists have discovered ways to improve the appearance of a smile that has undergone some damage or ware. For those of you looking to improve your smile for one of these reasons, the La Crete dentists would love to help you learn more about one of these options.
What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a plausible option for someone looking to hide or improve the appearance of a damaged tooth. A dental crown works like a cap, fitting over the tooth you wish to hide. From there it works just like your remaining teeth. You will be able to brush, floss, eat, and drink normally.
Receiving a dental crown typically takes a couple weeks to complete the process. First, a dentist must assess your dental situation and confirm you are a good candidate for a dental crown. Then he will begin the process of fitting you for your personalized crown. Once the crown is created, you will have another appointment where it is set in place.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is used when you have a tooth or a couple teeth that need to be replaced. These porcelain teeth are secured in place by a set of dental crowns on each side that will attach themselves to the nearby healthy teeth.
The process for obtaining a dental bridge is similar to that of a dental crown, except the dentist will do a bit more work in forming the bridge and making sure you are a good candidate for covering these missing teeth. As opposed to some other cover up options.
Do you think a dental crown or bridge may be right for you? If so, consider contacting your La Crete dentist to learn more about your options.
