Porcelain Crowns / Bridges

At 230 Dental, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile. Missing or damaged teeth affects your appearance, oral health, and overall functionality. Porcelain crowns and bridges are excellent solutions to restore your teeth' strength, function, and appearance, allowing you to smile confidently and enjoy everyday activities like eating and speaking without discomfort.

 

What Are Porcelain Crowns?

A porcelain crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Whether your tooth is fractured, worn down, or has undergone a root canal, a crown provides protection while blending seamlessly with the rest of your smile. Crowns made from porcelain are highly durable and mimic real teeth' natural translucence and color.

 

Benefits of Porcelain Crowns:

  • Natural Appearance: Porcelain crowns closely resemble the color and texture of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your smile.
  • Durability: Porcelain is a strong material capable of withstanding the pressure of biting and chewing.
  • Custom Fit: Each crown is custom-made to fit comfortably and function effectively, ensuring long-term satisfaction.
  • Restoration of Functionality: A crown can restore a damaged tooth’s ability to bite and chew properly, improving oral health.

 

When Are Porcelain Crowns Needed?

  • After a Root Canal: Crowns protect and restore teeth that have undergone root canal therapy.
  • Large Fillings: A crown can provide additional protection when a tooth has a large cavity that a filling alone can’t support.
  • Fractured or Broken Teeth: Crowns cover and support teeth broken or worn down due to grinding or injury.
  • Cosmetic Enhancement: Crowns can improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.

 

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth, restoring your smile's function and aesthetics. Porcelain bridges are a durable and natural-looking option, providing the strength you need for everyday use.

 

Benefits of Porcelain Bridges:

  • Natural Look: Porcelain bridges closely resemble your natural teeth, ensuring your smile looks complete and healthy.
  • Functional Restoration: Bridges help restore your ability to chew and speak properly, improving your overall quality of life.
  • Prevents Teeth Shifting: When a tooth is missing, neighboring teeth may shift into the space, causing bite misalignment and other issues. A bridge prevents this from happening by filling the gap.
  • Improved Confidence: Replacing missing teeth with a porcelain bridge helps restore your confidence by giving you a beautiful smile.

 

When Are Dental Bridges Needed?

  • Missing Teeth: Bridges are commonly used when one or more teeth are missing and must be replaced.
  • Preventing Shifting Teeth: Bridges help maintain proper tooth alignment by preventing adjacent teeth from shifting.
  • Restoring Function: Bridges restore normal chewing and speaking functions by replacing missing teeth.

 

The Porcelain Crown and Bridge Process at 230 Dental

At 230 Dental, our team is dedicated to making your experience with crowns and bridges as comfortable and efficient as possible. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

 

1. Consultation and Examination

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. We’ll evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals to determine whether porcelain crowns or bridges are the best solution for your needs.

 

2. Tooth Preparation

For a crown, we’ll prepare the affected tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to accommodate the crown. The adjacent teeth are also prepared to act as anchors for a bridge. Temporary crowns or bridges may be placed to protect your teeth, while your permanent restorations are custom-made.

 

3. Custom Fabrication

Your porcelain crown or bridge will be custom-made in a dental laboratory to ensure a perfect fit and match for your smile. The porcelain will be color-matched to your natural teeth, so your restoration blends seamlessly.

 

4. Final Placement

Once your crown or bridge is ready, we’ll remove the temporary restoration and bond the permanent one to your teeth.
