Crowns and bridges are common dental solutions frequently recommended post-root canal treatment. Crowns, also known as caps, encase damaged or decayed teeth, restoring their functionality and appearance. Meanwhile, bridges span the space left by missing teeth, connecting adjacent teeth to maintain oral function and support bone structure, facilitating speaking and chewing.
Dental crowns and bridges effectively protect and restore damaged teeth to their natural form and function. Crowns are custom-fitted caps that cover individual decayed or damaged teeth, while bridges span the gap created by missing teeth, anchoring adjacent healthy teeth for stability and functionality.
Dental crowns and bridges are commonly utilized to safeguard and restore teeth damaged by severe cavities, cracks, or injuries. They provide comprehensive protection for the tooth structure, preventing further issues and restoring both function and appearance. Additionally, they’re applied post-root canal treatment and occasionally for cosmetic enhancements when alternatives like veneers or bonding aren’t suitable.
Same day crowns are not recommended in my practice. I’ve spent nearly 40 years searching and refining my relationship with my laboratory partners. I provide them with great work through impressions, models, photographs, written instructions, and records. I get back truly remarkable life-like restorations for my patients. Occasionally, we have to adjust or remake something. We are always striving to exceed your expectations.
While waiting for the lab partners to make that perfect crown, bridge, or implant restorations, you will have a temporary restoration. I pride myself in making great temporaries. Often, family or friends think the temporaries are the real thing!
