Dental Crowns – Dental crowns are designed to cover damaged teeth like a cap. They are usually made of metal, porcelain or a metal-porcelain composite and are cemented over the remains of the natural tooth. These crowns are aesthetically pleasing, designed to resemble your natural teeth and lasts for more than 10 years, if cared for properly.
Dental Veneers – Dental veneers are used to create bright, white smiles popularly known as “Hollywood Smiles” with beautifully shaped teeth. They consist of a thin porcelain that is applied to top of your natural teeth, covering gaps or crooked teeth. They are also used to cover discolored or chipped teeth.
Dental Bridges – These are designed to replace missing teeth, restoring beauty, functionality, and chewing efficiency to the patient. Adjacent teeth or sometimes, dental implants support dental bridges. They can effectively replace a removable partial denture
Caring for Your Crowns & Bridgework
Crowns and bridgework require the same conscientious care as your natural teeth. Be sure to brush and floss between all of your teeth, restored and natural both every day. It will help to reduce the buildup of dental plaque. When you have crowns, it is even more important to maintain your regular schedule of cleanings at the dental office. Avoid using your teeth as tools (to open packages, for example). If you have a grinding habit, wearing a nightguard would be a good idea to protect your teeth and your investment
