What Are Dental Crowns? This is one of the most common questions people have about crowns and bridges: what exactly are they? Dental crowns can add aesthetic value to your teeth as well as serving a functional purpose of keeping dental bridges and dentures in place. AT THE LIFE ROOTS DENTAL AND FACIAL AESTHETICS CENTER, WE ARE HAPPY TO OFFER YOU THE BEST CROWNS, BRIDGES, AND IMPLANT CROWNS. Think of dental crowns as a sort of cap. The same way you would cap a bottle or jar, you're placing a cap over your teeth. This can also help prevent bacteria build up inside your tooth if you have exposed fillings or decaying teeth. Dental crowns are often made of porcelain or ceramic to mimic the texture and color of natural teeth. What Are Dental Bridges? Dental bridges may be recommended if you are missing more than one tooth. If this is not corrected, it could cause teeth to shift and rotate, leaving you with crooked teeth which can be painful and eventually develop into gum disease. Dental bridges are similar to dentures except they are crafted, tooth-by-tooth, for your mouth. They can be made out of porcelain or ceramic to mimic the natural texture and colour of a real tooth. Dental bridges are held in place by crowns. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO DENTAL CROWNS AND BRIDGES? Dental crowns and bridges can help restore your teeth to their former beauty, making your smile look bright and full again. If you've recently had a root filling and it is exposed, then dental crowns are the perfect solution to cover these fillings. Dental crowns are also a perfect solution if your fillings are discolored from everyday stains and wear. Dental crowns also help with decayed and misaligned teeth, creating a more even look and feel. Your teeth will not only be beautiful but also less prone to bad bacteria buildup caused by crooked teeth.
