What Are Dental Crowns And Bridges?
Dental crowns and bridges are essential dental restorations that help restore the function and appearance of damaged or missing teeth. At Stellenwerf Dental Studio in Kingwood, TX, Dr. Viviana Stellenwerf provides specialized care in creating and placing these restorations, ensuring your smile remains healthy and beautiful. A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged tooth, protecting and strengthening it, while a dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth with crowns on adjacent natural teeth or implants. These restorations help maintain the alignment of your teeth, preventing issues such as shifting and bite problems that can occur when teeth are missing.
How Do Dental Crowns And Bridges Work?
Dental crowns and bridges work by providing structural support and aesthetic improvements to your teeth. The process begins with a thorough examination and consultation with Dr. Viviana Stellenwerf at Stellenwerf Dental Studio. During this consultation, Dr. Stellenwerf will assess your dental needs and recommend the best treatment plan.
For crowns, the damaged tooth is prepared by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. An impression is then taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom crown is crafted. Once ready, the crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth, restoring its function and appearance.
Bridges involve a similar process but include preparing the teeth adjacent to the gap where the bridge will be placed. These teeth, called abutments, are fitted with crowns that anchor the bridge in place. The artificial teeth, or pontics, fill the gap, creating a natural-looking and functional set of teeth.
In addition to crowns and bridges, Stellenwerf Dental Studio also offers inlays and onlays. Inlays and onlays are used to restore teeth with moderate decay or damage that is not severe enough to require a crown. Inlays fit within the cusps of the tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps. These restorations are made from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, providing a strong and aesthetically pleasing result.
