Restore & Enhance Your Smile With Crowns & Bridges
A beautiful smile not only enhances your appearance but also boosts self-confidence. Dental crowns and bridges are restorative solutions offered at North Tampa Family Dental in Tampa that help individuals regain their smile’s aesthetic and functional integrity.
What are crowns & bridges?
If you have a damaged or severely decayed tooth, a dental crown, also known as a cap, could be the solution. These custom-made restorations cover the entire visible portion of the affected tooth and are typically made from durable materials like metal alloys, porcelain, ceramic, or a combination of materials. Not only do they provide strength and protection, but they also look natural.
For patients with one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge, which is a fixed dental restoration anchoring artificial teeth between existing natural teeth with crowns or dental implants, may be your ideal solution. Bridges help retore chewing function, maintain facial structure, and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of place.
How are crowns & bridges placed?
Decayed or weakened areas are removed to prepare for a crown or bridge, and impressions are taken. A custom-made piece is created to match your natural teeth. A temporary piece is placed before the final piece is bonded to your tooth using dental cement. The process is quick and effective in closing gaps and restoring your smile.
What are the benefits of crowns & bridges?
Crowns provide a protective covering for teeth with extensive decay, fractures, or large fillings. They can prevent further damage and potential tooth loss and are an effective solution for individuals with stained, misshapen, or severely discolored teeth, dramatically improving the appearance and symmetry of your smile. Bridges offer a reliable and durable solution for one or more missing teeth, providing stability and restoring your ability to chew and speak properly. Dental bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural teeth, improving the appearance of the smile and boosting self-confidence.
