Protecting Your Tooth with a Dental Crown
A dental crown is a tooth-like cap that restores the natural function of damaged tooth. It can also be used to improve the appearance of a tooth. If your tooth is fragile and worn down, a dental crown can help to prevent further damage to a tooth and restore the life of the tooth. It sits comfortably over the damaged tooth and blends in with the rest of the teeth.
Leaving a damaged tooth in a bad state will only lead to more severe future damage, sometimes even tooth loss. We want to preserve your smile as much as possible, so you can enjoy a healthier, happier smile for life.
Dental bridges are a popular way to bridge the gap! We offer dental bridges for single or multiple missing teeth right here in our practice. Bridges are a more affordable solution to missing teeth compared to dental implants. Our dentist will examine your teeth and gums and determine if you are a healthy candidate to have a bridge placed.
Crown and Bridges life-time depends on your diet and lifestyle but typically our quality crowns and bridges can last up to 15 years. We recommend you keep coming in for your checkup and clean appointments every six months so we can ensure your crown and the rest of your teeth are in optimal condition.
The first step to restoring a damaged tooth, is to schedule your consultation with our dentist. You will come in for an exam and consultation with Dr Sanjay and the team. We can take X-rays if required and will discuss all treatment options to you.
Once you decide you would like to move forward, we will administer a local anaesthetic, so you are comfortable and relaxed during the procedure. We then gently trim down around the damaged tooth to make room for the crown.
Then, we will take impressions so your crown can be made and give you a temporary crown to go home with.
Your next appointment involves getting the permanent crown placed. When you come back for your procedure, similar to last time we will provide you with a local anaesthetic and remove the temporary crown.
Your permanent crown is then placed on top of the damaged tooth and you will walk away with a restored, healthy smile.
Dental bridges are a popular way to bridge the gap! We offer dental bridges for single or multiple missing teeth right here in our practice. Bridges are a more affordable solution to missing teeth compared to dental implants. The process to get a dental bridge involves coming in for a consultation first. Our dentist will examine your teeth and gums and determine if you’re a healthy candidate to have a bridge placed. The neighbouring teeth must be strong and healthy to hold the bridge in place.
We will then take impressions, and have you come in roughly one to two weeks later to have the permanent bridge placed.
