Why People Love WolfWillow Orchid Dental
What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
-
Dental Crowns are little caps that have the look of natural teeth. They cover and protect damaged, decayed, or worn-out teeth. Crowns restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of your teeth.
-
Dental Bridges are artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored to adjacent natural teeth or implants in order to fill gaps left by missing teeth. Bridges help restore your smile, maintain facial shape, and improve chewing and speaking.
What Issues Do Dental Crowns and Bridges Help With?
Crowns:
-
Protecting Weak Teeth – Crowns can protect teeth weakened by decay or fractures from further damage.
-
Restoring Broken Teeth – They can restore severely worn or broken teeth to a shape and function that mimics natural teeth.
-
Supporting Dental Restorations – Crowns can support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth structure remaining.
-
Cosmetic Enhancements – They improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth.
-
Covering Dental Implants – Crowns can be used to cover dental implants, providing a natural look and feel.
Bridges:
-
Replacing Missing Teeth – Bridges fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth, preventing surrounding teeth from shifting.
-
Restoring Functionality – They restore the ability to chew and speak properly.
-
Maintaining Facial Shape – By filling gaps, bridges help maintain the natural shape of your face.
-
Preventing Tooth Movement – They prevent remaining teeth from moving out of position, which can cause bite problems.
