Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Common Questions About Crowns and Bridges
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom restoration placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often recommended for teeth that have large fillings, fractures, or have undergone root canal treatment. They help protect the remaining tooth structure while allowing the tooth to function normally during chewing and speaking.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or restorations. It helps restore the function of your bite and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of position. Bridges are designed to blend naturally with your smile while improving chewing ability and maintaining alignment.
How Long Do Crowns and Bridges Last?
The lifespan of crowns and bridges can vary depending on oral hygiene, bite forces, and overall dental health. With proper care, including regular dental visits and good home care, these restorations can last many years. Your dentist will provide guidance on how to care for your restoration to help maintain its longevity and function.
Are Crowns and Bridges Noticeable?
Modern crowns and bridges are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, making them blend seamlessly with your smile. Careful planning and material selection help ensure that the restoration looks natural while also providing strength and durability for everyday use.
Does the Procedure Take Multiple Visits?
In many cases, crowns and bridges require more than one visit to complete. The first visit typically involves preparing the tooth and taking impressions, while a temporary restoration may be placed. The final restoration is then fitted and adjusted during a follow up visit to ensure proper fit and comfort.
