How does a Dental Crown Work?

When a tooth is severely damaged and needs reinforcement, Dr. Chichetti or Dr. Patel may recommend a dental crown to restore its structure and function.

If decay has spread throughout your tooth, eroding away a large amount of healthy tissue, or it has been severely damaged from trauma, a Dental Crown will cover the unaffected parts of the tooth once all the decay and damage have been removed. The crown acts as a hardhat for your tooth, so to speak, protecting what remains from further harm. It will look perfectly natural in your mouth and can last a decade or more with proper care.

Do not suffer with tooth pain

If you have severe tooth damage, and your dentist has recommended a crown, please don’t delay treatment. Oral damage will not heal on its own. In fact, it will only get worse without the proper intervention. Getting a dental crown will not only restore the shape and function of your tooth, it will also stop infection and decay from spreading to other areas in your mouth. The pain you feel from a damaged tooth will go away once your dentist places a crown over it.

What is a Dental Bridge?

In simple terms, a Dental Bridge consists of one or more prosthetic teeth made to fill in a gap where teeth have been extracted by a dentist, fallen out, or knocked out due to trauma. Your dentist will put the Bridge in place and secure it by connecting the prosthetic teeth to the surrounding natural teeth, essentially creating a bridge.

The right solution for you

The prosthetic teeth in a Bridge are made of biocompatible materials that are shaped and molded to look extremely natural. Once in place, a bridge will blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth, making it impossible for others to tell that you have a prosthetic.

With the proper care and regular visits to Chichetti & Patel Dental Wellness, you Dental Bridge can last a decade or more. Some patients keep their bridges for their entire lives.

A dental bridge is a minimally invasive way to replace missing teeth for a natural-looking, durable result. A Bridge will not only help restore and preserve your smile, but it will also improve your oral function, giving your back the ability to speak and eat normally.
