At Mason and Mason Dentistry, we’re committed to helping you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. If you’re missing teeth or have damaged teeth, crowns and bridges are two great options to restore your dental health and confidence. Here’s what you need to know:
What Are Dental Crowns?
A crown is like a little football helmet that covers a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, and function. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, and they’re customized to match the color of your natural teeth. Crowns are perfect for strengthening weak teeth, covering a tooth after a root canal, or even enhancing the appearance of a discolored tooth.
What Are Dental Bridges?
If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge could be the solution for you. A bridge literally spans or “bridges” a space created by missing teeth. The crowns are cemented onto the adjacent teeth to anchor the bridge in place, giving you a complete, functional smile.
Why Crowns and Bridges?
Both crowns and bridges are excellent ways to restore your smile’s functionality and appearance. Not only can they improve your ability to chew and speak, but they also prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting out of place, which can lead to further complications.
Are Crowns and Bridges Right for You?
Every patient’s needs are unique. During your consultation at Mason and Mason Dentistry, our experienced team will carefully assess your situation and discuss the best options for you. Whether it’s a crown to protect a damaged tooth or a bridge to replace missing teeth, we’ll help you get back to enjoying a healthy smile.
