Teeth Damaged? Dental Crowns & Bridges can restore them.
Not all damaged teeth need implants to be restored. Depending on the level of damage, we may be able to restore your tooth back to it’s natural look and feel with Dental Crowns or Bridges.
Dental Prosthetics; Our Philosophy.
A great dental restoration is judged by its esthetics, fit, function and longevity. To achieve all of these takes many years of practice and the development of systems to consistently produce results that have multiple steps, stages and procedures.
Working together with our “in house” lab technician, Mr. Frank Vagnoni, we have created the ideal environment for excellence.
Dental prosthetics like crowns, bridges and veneers are not inexpensive but done well, they can improve so many things like esthetics and self esteem, chewing efficiency and better digestion, improved bite for relaxed facial muscles and pain free temporomandibular joints.
If you feel you might be a candidate for this type of treatment, come in for an assessment and we can see which treatment options are right for you. We can give you the smile you deserve. To learn more about some of the prosthetics we offer, please read on.
Creating a
Dental Bridge
A bridge is a restoration made in a similar way with the purpose of restoring one or more missing teeth. It is made of an artificial tooth or teeth that are fused between two crowns, and is permanently cemented in the mouth. There are several different kinds of bridges and we can help you decide if, and which one would be good option for you.
Porcelain Veneers
Are you interested in improving the look of your smile? Porcelain Veneers may be the right choice for you.
Porcelain veneers are made of a very thin, strong material that is designed to slide on to a tooth to create a beautiful, natural, and long-lasting result. They are a great option if you are interested in masking stains, hiding chips, correcting misalignment, and creating an overall uniform and aesthetic smile.
There are many options in dentistry to improve your smile. To ensure a long- lasting beautiful result you need to be the right candidate for this treatment option. Come in for an assessment and we can see which treatment options will give you the smile you deserve.
Crowning or Capping a Tooth with Dental Crowns
A crown is sometimes referred to as a “cap”. A dental crown fully covers the entire portion of the tooth from at or below the gum line. There are several reasons that crowns may be recommended, including when a tooth has a large restoration, a root canal, a crack or fracture, or is badly stained or shaped. Crowns can be made from several different materials including porcelain/ceramic, metal, or a combination of these. Both appearance and function are considered when selecting the right one for you.
To make a crown, tooth structure is carefully reduced, an impression and shade is taken, and a temporary crown is made. The impression is sent to a lab where the crown is precisely made to fit your tooth. A second appointment is made where the temporary crown is removed and your new crown is tried in to ensure the fit, contacts, bite and colour are ideal for you. Once this is confirmed the crown is then permanently cemented and adds strength and aesthetics to your tooth.
