Restore Your Smile Today
Crowns allow dentists to restore the form and function of your teeth without needing to perform extractions. It is always best to save your natural teeth if possible.
The Dental Crown Process
Two appointments are typically needed for dental crowns. The first dental visit involves removing and treating any decay and/or damage and preparing the teeth prior to taking impressions. Impressions are taken to ensure your new custom made crowns will fit precisely to your teeth. Temporary crowns are placed to protect your teeth while the dental laboratory fabricates your new crowns.
At the second visit, the temporary crowns will be removed and replaced with the lab custom made crowns to ensure proper function and a perfect smile.
Bridges
Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of false teeth fused to two or more crowns on adjacent anchoring teeth. Bridges can prevent drifting of teeth to maintain the shape of your face and restore your smile.
