Crown and Bridgework
It would be great if we could all have perfect teeth and beautiful smiles like we had when we were young and like the fabulous television stars we see on the screen every day. Unfortunately, we’re not all that lucky. Whether it’s from heredity, lack of care, accidents, aging or just coincidence, many of us are bothered with cavities, crooked or missing teeth and a number of other dental problems. Luckily, thanks to technology, dentists can now offer dental crowns and dental bridge work.
Dental crowns are an excellent solution for a tooth that is decayed but doesn’t have the proper strength structure it requires to hold a filling. This may be seen on a tooth that’s severely decayed to the point that there’s not much left to it or a tooth that may have become fractured due to an accident. Dental crowns are often the perfect solution as they can restore your tooth to its original appearance, if not better.
Unlike fillings which only cover part of the tooth, dental crowns will cover the entire tooth starting at the gum line and going right over the entire tooth. The base of the dental crowns is metal while the exterior and top is porcelain designed to match the natural color of your tooth. When done correctly, the dental crowns have the appearance of natural teeth, with the shade and size matching perfectly to your other teeth.
Dental bridgework is similar to dental crowns except whereas dental crowns are one tooth, dental bridgework is more than one crown. Dental bridgework is a group of dental crowns all joined together to fill in a space where you have missing teeth. The dental bridgework fills in all the spaces and gaps and used the teeth around them as support.
Missing teeth can not only affect your smile and appearance but will affect your ability to chew correctly. When you can’t chew correctly, your eating habits may be affected which will affect your overall diet. The entire structure of your face is affected by missing teeth, which puts more stress on the teeth you do have in your mouth. The places in your mouth that are missing teeth will often give your cheeks and entire face a thinner, sunken appearance, adding age to your face. Dental bridge work can take care of all these problems in just a few simple trips to your dentist or cosmetic dentist.
Dental bridge work has many advantages in your life. Not only will it give you a great looking appearance but it will also give your face a more youthful appearance. There is no worry about slipping and loose dentures as dental bridge work is cemented in your mouth so it will last and give you the same aesthetics, stability and comfort as your natural teeth.
Many people are apprehensive about dental crowns and dental bridge work because of the cost. Fortunately, individuals that have health or dental insurance usually find that these procedures are covered under their policy.
