Crown And Bridge Dentistry In Fresno
Two of the greatest tools in a modern dentist’s toolbox are dental crowns and dental bridges. With these treatments, our team can help smiles function better, look great, and feel just right. In some cases, bridges and crowns are used together to achieve outstanding results.
What are Dental Crowns?
A crown is a covering (which you may have even heard called a cap before) designed to fit over the top of a tooth.
There Are a number of benefits to getting a crown, including:
- Protection | If you have a tooth that received a root canal, in most cases the tooth will need a tooth crown to provide additional protection. Additionally, if one of your teeth becomes damaged, crowns can give them the extra protection they need.
- Cosmetic | If you have teeth that have become discolored, misshapen, broken or chipped crowns can be used with excellent results. Our porcelain crowns are beautiful and look just like your natural teeth. Each of our crowns are custom made for each patient.
- Dental Implants | If you receive a dental implant to replace a missing tooth, a crown can be anchored to the implant effectively creating a “new” tooth.
What are Bridges?
Dental bridges are appliances designed to replace an area of missing teeth. They are sometimes referred to as fixed partial dentures. They are made to be semi- permanent and are bonded into place over existing teeth or implants.
Our bridges are designed to look like natural teeth and come in a few different types including:
- Conventional Fixed Bridges
- Cantilever Bridges
- Resin-bonded Bridges
Whether you need a bridge, a crown, or both, our team has the skill and know-how to provide you outstanding, top quality dental care. Having missing or damaged teeth can be a great source of social and physical discomfort, and our team will provide you compassionate dental care with great results.
