Did You Know? Porcelain crowns and bridges not only restore aesthetics but also prevent shifting of surrounding teeth after tooth loss!
What Are Porcelain Crowns & Bridges?
Porcelain Crowns
A crown is a custom-made cap that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. It is commonly used for:
- Severely decayed or fractured teeth.
- Teeth with large fillings that need extra strength.
- Root canal-treated teeth requiring reinforcement.
- Enhancing the shape, size, or color of a tooth.
Porcelain Bridges
A bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent teeth. It helps with:
- Restoring the function of missing teeth.
- Preventing nearby teeth from shifting.
- Maintaining proper bite alignment and facial structure.
- Providing a permanent alternative to dentures.
Unlike removable dentures, bridges are permanently fixed and feel just like natural teeth!
Who Needs Porcelain Crowns or Bridges?
You may be a good candidate if you have:
- A weak or cracked tooth that needs reinforcement.
- A large filling that compromises tooth strength.
- A root canal-treated tooth needing protection.
- A missing tooth that affects your smile or bite.
- A desire for a long-term, low-maintenance solution.
