Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are wonderful options that allow you to enhance your smile. While these restorative options are capable of reinforcing the function and strength of your teeth, they restore the appearance as well!
- A dental crown can be used to encapsulate a natural tooth that is broken, decayed, or dull in appearance. Carefully colored and shaped to match your surrounding teeth, these prosthetic pieces are cemented over the natural tooth to create a blendable, dependable smile for the next 15 years!
- Dental bridges are fantastic options for patients with one or more missing teeth in a sequence. Missing teeth can not only impact your ability to chew and speak properly, but they can also diminish your confidence. A bridge serves the purpose of concealing the gap by utilizing a row of three or more dental crowns fused together; the crowns on either end of the bridge are cemented over your natural teeth, while the crown(s) in the center fill in for missing teeth. When well cared for, bridges can last up to seven years before needing to be replaced.
Composite Fillings
When your tooth has a cavity, it is imperative that the problem be treated as soon as possible to ensure decay does not intensify or reach the interior of the tooth. Cavities begin as very small openings in the tooth enamel that tunnel into the dentin layer of the tooth; this can lead to extreme temperature sensitivity and toothaches. When you visit our team to have a cavity filled, we will perform this procedure with composite material.
Composite fillings are among the most loved advances in dentistry, as it allows tooth decay to be treated and hides any signs of dental work being done. Composite is a strong, durable material once cured and is capable of matching the exact shade of the tooth.
- Once a cavity has been removed from the tooth, we fill in the opening with composite and sculpt it to match the shape of the tooth.
- We will then cure the material in place and complete any polishing or shaping to ensure it looks incredible!
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin porcelain or composite shells that are used to give a whole new look to the smile! Custom-made to fit your teeth, veneers can easily conceal anything from cracks to gaps, dull shades and stains, or even change the size of your teeth! Within only two office visits, patients can enjoy a brand new smile with dental veneers; the process goes as follows:
- During the first appointment, we will prepare the teeth by having a small layer of enamel removed. This is so that veneers lay seamlessly against the tooth without appearing bulky or irritating the gums.
- We will then take an impression of your teeth to create the perfect veneers for you!
- When you visit for your next appointment, veneers will be individually bonded to each of your teeth with dental cement.
- By brushing and flossing regularly and avoiding biting hard foods (candy, ice cubes, etc), veneers can last between seven and fifteen years.
It’s important that if you are considering dental veneers, you take into consideration the long-term effect of the preparation process. Once enamel is removed from your teeth, it will not grow back. Your teeth will require veneers for the rest of your life to protect from decay and sensitivity.
