What You Need To Know About Dental Crowns

When a tooth has a large area of decay, suffers a crack or break, or has root canal treatment, its structure is understandably compromised. A dental crown is a sheath, shaped like the tooth, that covers the entire visible portion. A crown is usually a two-visit restoration.

At the first appointment, areas of damage are removed, and the tooth is shaped. The dentist takes impressions of your mouth, and places an interim crown. A dental laboratory uses the impressions, precise measurements, and color specifications to manufacture your crown. You return in about a week to have it cemented into place.

Porcelain fused to metal crowns are popular for their durability and natural appearance. Dr. AL-Taee Dentistry also offers zirconia (non-metal) and gold crowns.

The Basics of Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is used to replace two or more consecutive missing teeth. A bridge is composed of crowns for the healthy teeth on either side of the gap, and an artificial tooth to replace the missing one. The crowns are cemented into place, anchoring the bridge securely. This type of restoration is not removable, so it provides better stability than a partial denture.

The bridge completes your smile, and keeps natural teeth from shifting out of position. A second option would be to install two dental implants on either side of the gap and fit the bridge that way. Dental crowns and bridges are just two of the restoration options available at Dr. AL-Taee Dentistry in Ottawa.
