What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are cap-like covers that are created to fit over a damaged or weak tooth. Once complete, it will look just like your natural tooth and function as one of your own teeth. It also serves to protect the tooth from further damage, so it will last much longer. The following are what dental crowns help repair:

Dental Crowns & Dental Bridges - Gisborne, Macedon & Riddells Creek - Gisborne Dental House

Broken or cracked teeth

Worn teeth that need support

Cover and protect a tooth that had root canal therapy

Extra support for a tooth weakened from a large cavity

Fill in missing teeth as part of a dental bridge

Dental crowns allow you to eat and talk comfortably, as they will restore the function of your natural tooth. If you have a missing tooth and prefer to not have an implant, a bridge can be created with a dental crown to replace your tooth.

Replace Missing Teeth with Crowns

Dental crowns are used to support and protect weak and damaged teeth, but can also be used to replace missing teeth. A crown may become part of a bridge to replace a tooth, or one may be placed on a dental implant when teeth cannot be saved. Fortunately, today’s crowns are made of strong materials that last, and they look and function like your natural teeth.

A dental crown used to replace a missing tooth will be secured onto an implant. A dental implant and dental crown are the next best thing to having your natural teeth because your body treats the implant as part of your own body. Once placed, the jawbone builds up around it to strengthen the post. You will have the function of a new tooth and you will avoid the jawbone deterioration that takes place when teeth are missing.

What are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are prosthetics used to replace a missing tooth or even a series of missing teeth. This restorative dental structure consists of a crown, or crowns, that will replace a missing tooth, with an abutment at each end, which are crowns fitted over existing teeth to support the fixture.

Many patients prefer dental bridges as a cost-effective and less invasive dental solution to replace missing teeth. If you are unsure of the best solution for your missing teeth, our staff will do a full dental exam and discuss the options with you.

Types of Dental Bridges

There are different types of dental bridges designed to address various patient concerns. A bridge is customised to the patient according to oral health and the structural integrity of the teeth. The following are the types of bridges we use:

Traditional Bridge

A traditional bridge is a dental prosthetic using a crown that replaces a missing tooth and abutment teeth on each end. These are the most popular type of bridges and are commonly used to fill in the gap of a lost tooth between two other teeth.

Cantilever Bridge

This bridge is used to fill in the gap of a missing tooth that has only one tooth available to act as an abutment tooth.

Maryland Bridge

This cost-effective bridge uses “wings” to secure the bridge to anchor teeth. The wing replaces the need for abutments and is less invasive since there is no need to remove the enamel on the abutment teeth. However, it requires a strong foundation and may not be as durable as a traditional bridge.

Implant-Supported Bridge

These are the most popular patient dental solution to replace missing teeth. In this case, multiple implants are strategically placed in the mouth. Then a bridge is created that is secured to the implants. This saves you from jawbone deterioration, which also saves the shape of your face.

Caring for Your Dental Crown or Dental Bridge

After you receive your new prosthetic, it is important to properly care for it so it can last as long as possible. Most fixtures can last a lifetime with proper care, and don’t forget your surrounding teeth need to stay strong and healthy, as well. While you will receive individualised instructions on caring for your crown or bridge, the following are some general guidelines that most people will follow:

Brush your teeth at least twice each day for healthy teeth and gums

Floss according to your dentist’s or hygienist’s instructions

Rinse with any recommended mouthwash

Do not chew on hard objects or ice to prevent damage to your prosthetic and your other teeth

Keep up with regular 6-month dental checkups to prevent dental problems or for early intervention

If your new prosthetic feels different or off in any way, call our office immediately and schedule an appointment
