Are you wondering how you’re going to restore a broken tooth or a tooth that has a large cavity in it? At Tuttle Crossing Family Dental, we offer modern techniques and materials to repair and replace teeth affected by damage or decay. The combination of dental crowns and bridges is an excellent option for many patients.

What is a crown?

Crowns help protect teeth compromised by damage. They also have the power to improve their alignment, shape, and appearance. Also known as a “cap,” crowns can be made from various materials, including gold, stainless steel, and porcelain. Most people prefer porcelain in today’s day and age because it can blend in the best with the rest of your natural teeth. They’re incredibly durable – and can last for a decade or more if taken good care of through effective dental hygiene. As your dentist in Dublin, we’ll prepare the tooth so our laboratory can create a custom-made crown that fits your smile perfectly.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge, otherwise known as a fixed prosthesis, is a common way to replace individual or multiple missing teeth. One of the problems caused by missing teeth is that they will eventually shift or rotate into those spaces, causing a bad bite. Bridges that feature crowns and artificial teeth fill in these gaps and prevent that from happening. And once they are in place, they redistribute the workload among teeth and improve the appearance of your smile.

Crowns and bridges are among the most popular restorative treatments our team provides. And patients are ecstatic about the results once they’ve had it done. Call for a hassle-free obligation to determine if it’s right for you.
