Do I need a crown or bridge?
Dental crowns can treat several types of dental problems for a single tooth. If you have a tooth suffering from a large amount of decay, a break or chip, abnormal shape, or weak from teeth grinding, then a dental crown may be what you need. If you have a missing tooth or teeth, a dental bridge can fill in the existing gap without the need for oral surgery.
What is the difference between a dental crown and a bridge?
Dental crowns and bridges are natural-looking and custom-made to restore your smile. Our dental crowns can instantly repair, restore, and support a tooth’s appearance. When more than a single tooth needs to be restored, a dental bridge can cover three or more teeth at once as well as replace missing teeth.
How long does a crown and bridge last?
Natural teeth and restorations require good oral hygiene and routine dental visits to remain in the best condition possible. Depending on the type of dental material used, crowns and bridges can last up to ten years. As with any dental work, bridges and crowns may experience natural wear and tear and may require replacement sooner. If your crown or bridge is worn, loose, or lost, contact one of our Austin area dental offices for a replacement.
What is the process of getting a dental bridge or crown?
The process begins with a dental exam to determine whether a crown or bridge is the best solution for your smile. After preparing the affected tooth or teeth, we’ll take precise impressions to ensure your restoration fits comfortably and looks natural. You’ll wear a temporary restoration while your custom crown or bridge is being created. At your final visit, we’ll securely place your restoration, make any necessary adjustments, and ensure your bite feels comfortable.
Are dental crowns and bridges natural-looking?
Modern dental crowns and bridges are crafted from durable, tooth-colored materials that closely resemble natural enamel. We carefully match the shade, shape, and size of your restoration to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. Our goal is to restore both the function and appearance of your smile, so most people won’t be able to tell you have a dental restoration.
Do crowns or bridges require any special dental care?
Dental crowns and bridges don’t require any complicated maintenance, but they do benefit from consistent oral hygiene. Brush twice a day, floss carefully around your restoration, and continue visiting our office for routine cleanings and exams. Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens, which can damage your restoration. With good daily care and regular dental visits, your crown or bridge can provide many years of reliable function and a natural-looking smile.
