At Border Country Dental, we use dental crowns and bridges to repair damaged teeth, replace missing teeth, and help prevent future oral health concerns.
Restoring Your Smile
You may be self-conscious and have difficulty chewing comfortably with missing or broken teeth. At Border Country Dental, we offer dental crowns and bridges to help restore your smile, comfort, oral health, and confidence to enjoy everyday life again.
The Difference Between Crowns & Bridges
In some instances, a tooth is damaged beyond repair using a filling. Dental crowns form a protective shell around the entire tooth, giving the tooth a second chance by protecting and reinforcing its structure. Crowns also cover dental implants to form a natural-looking artificial tooth, offering a permanent solution to missing teeth.
A dental bridge is made up of a series of crowns that can fill a gap in your smile. They’re custom-made using materials that resemble the translucent appearance of natural tooth enamel to provide a seamless appearance.
How Dental Bridges Work
Missing teeth naturally create gaps in your mouth. As a result, adjacent teeth may shift, leading to discomfort and increasing the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and further tooth loss.
Dental bridges help restore your ability to chew and speak properly while filling these empty spaces. These fixed restorations can enhance your smile and help your face keep its shape while contributing significantly to your confidence and overall quality of life.
How Dental Crowns Work
Dental crowns are placed over damaged teeth to help restore their original shape, size, and colour. The procedure helps maintain the function, strength, and appearance of a damaged or broken tooth to help prevent loss. In addition can hold a cracked tooth together to help prevent any additional damage.
Crowns are made from a variety of materials such as porcelain, zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and gold, making them a highly durable option.
