What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown serves as a customized cap made of porcelain or zirconia, restoring a compromised tooth’s function, shape, and strength. Untreated cavities allow oral bacteria to deteriorate tooth enamel and dentin, often necessitating a dental crown when there’s insufficient structure for a filling. A crown becomes the optimal solution for teeth too discolored or misshapen for veneers.
Following a root canal, a crown is essential to safeguard weakened tooth structures from potential fractures or extractions. The process involves trimming and reshaping the tooth and creating an ideal base for the crown, followed by digital impressions for crafting a temporary crown before the final tooth crown is fabricated.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic, effectively spanning the gap created by one or more missing teeth. This restoration involves affixing crowns onto adjacent teeth to support the false (pontic) tooth. At Southern Dental Implant Center, the process for traditional bridges mirrors that of dental crowns.
Dental bridges enhance chewing ability and speech and alleviate sensitivity and other issues affecting neighboring teeth. However, without an implant-supported bridge, bone loss persists beneath the false tooth due to the absence of a root to stimulate the jawbone.
