Understanding Dental Crowns in Brentwood: Restoring Lost Tooth Structure

We want to restore what was lost. If you have a lost existing filling and/or a broken cusp and/or if you have missing tooth structure due to decay; the tooth cannot just be restored with a tooth colored filling (composite resin). A Crown is the most appropriate choice for the restorative option.

When diagnosed a crown is prepared and placed to protect and preserve the remaining healthy tooth structure.

What is a Dental Crown:

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped dental prosthesis (cap) that covers the entire visible portion of the tooth (above the gum line). Once the structure is built up and prepared for the crown by our highly skilled practitioners; the crown is cemented into place.

Bridge:

When It comes to a bridge the process is similar. The only difference between a crown and a bridge, with a bridge you are missing a tooth that needs to be replaced by a span of crowns linked together.

In the process of preparing the bridge; the doctor prepares the adjacent teeth (as anchors) to hold (retain) to place a functional, permanently cemented bridge. This bridge option can be spanned within a range of teeth starting with three. Two anchors and one pontic; replacing the missing tooth is achieved with a pontic (artificial tooth).

When Is a Crown/Bridge Needed:

A crown/bridge may become necessary if any of the following takes place:

• A broken (fracture) tooth
• A missing tooth

A bridge could be the best restoration option for you depending upon your clinical examination.

• A cosmetic improvement
• A decayed tooth that needs strengthening provided by a crown

It’s a hard decision to make when choosing the right dentist, but we make it easy when you choose Brentwood Dental Spa.
