DENTAL CROWNS WOODSTOCK

Gold and silver dental crowns have long been utilized to revitalize damaged and decayed teeth, but it’s no secret that they make a less-than-desirable mark on your smile. Because of cutting-edge breakthroughs in dentistry, you have far more choices for renewing a healthy and magnificent smile. We are pleased to deliver dental crowns and bridges made of high-quality porcelain that are both resilient and natural-looking. No matter what your requirements are, our dentists will craft your porcelain dental restorations to manage your unique troubles and goals for a beaming and seamless smile.

Porcelain (Metal-free) Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are caps situated over teeth to improve function and appearance to a harmed tooth. Dental crowns could be used to:

Fortify a vulnerable tooth
Take the place of a significant filling
Ensure stability when attached to a dental bridge
Cover a dental implant that replaces a missing tooth

Porcelain Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are fixed dental restorations used to substitute one or more lacking teeth. They could be used to:

Fill in openings due to missing teeth
Improve effective chewing and speaking ability
Defend against teeth from repositioning in the mouth as a result of missing teeth
Decrease jaw pain and other concerns caused by an irregular bite from missing teeth

There are a number of kinds of dental bridges; our dentists will make their recommendations based on which is most suitable for your particular needs. We supply the following types of bridges:

Traditional bridge: features an artificial tooth supported on either surface by a dental crown. The dental crowns are placed on the teeth adjacent to the space.

Maryland-bonded bridge: contains an artificial tooth with two dental crowns placed next to each other.

Cantilever bridge: frequently used for the front teeth. It includes an artificial tooth affixed to two metal bands. The bands are bonded onto the backsides of the teeth on either portion of the space.

Zirconium All-White Substructure Crowns and Bridges

In addition to porcelain restorations, we even provide dental crowns and bridges made of all-white zirconium, which gives the strength of metal with the included benefit of a tooth-colored aesthetic. Zirconium has been indicated to be stronger than porcelain while still providing a natural-looking image. The option of crafting your dental restoration using zirconium or porcelain will be up to you and your dentist and will depend on a variety of factors, including the positioning of the dental restoration, your esthetic goals and finances.

Procedure Details

Dental crowns and bridges are traditionally placed over the course of two visits. During the course of the first visit, your dentist will prepare the tooth or teeth that will receive the dental restorations. This involves eliminating decay and reshaping the tooth or teeth that will surround the bridge. Next, we will make an impression of your tooth or teeth, which will be sent a dental laboratory where your personalized dental crown or bridge will be crafted. We will place a short-term restoration over your tooth or teeth while you wait for your long-term ones. Two weeks after your first visit, you will return to our office so we can place your permanent restoration. We will make changes to your restoration as needed so it can complement the color and shape of your natural teeth. Once in position, your dental restoration will be virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth.

Caring for Your Dental Restoration

Dental restorations are designed to be strong and durable. With appropriate care, they can last for many years. Like natural teeth, your dental restoration will need to be brushed and flossed regularly. We advise steering clear of chewing ice, hard foods or objects (e.g., pens), which can sometimes crack and damage your dental restoration. Regular dental checkups with our team are vital so we can keep track of the function and health of your dental restoration.
