What Are Dental Crowns & Bridges?
Dental crowns can reinforce a damaged tooth that is still solidly secured. The crown restores the appearance of the tooth with ceramic crowns that look almost identical to your natural teeth. In fact, you probably won’t be able to tell the crowned tooth from your natural teeth! Crowns are a good treatment option if tooth decay has destroyed most of your tooth, you have severe enamel erosion, or excessive teeth grinding has worn down your teeth.
Fixed bridges are non-removable appliances that replace a series of adjacent missing teeth. The bridge literally “bridges the gap” between two or more missing teeth, and the bridge is made from 2 crowns, and the 2 anchoring teeth support it. Fixed bridge fill the space of missing teeth, help maintain your facial shape, prevent your remaining teeth from drifting out of the correct position, restore your ability to chew and speak normally, enhance your smile. They are an upgrade from removable partial dentures.
How to Care for Dental Crowns & Bridges
To maintain dental crowns, practice good oral hygiene by brushing with a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily. Avoid chewing hard objects and sticky foods to prevent damage. Visit the dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Report any discomfort or changes in the crown's fit or appearance promptly to ensure timely intervention and maintenance.
To care for fixed bridges, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, and flossing daily, including under the bridge.
