Crown and Bridges

CIMBAK DENTAL CLINIC

Damaged or severely decayed teeth run the risk of failing or needing extraction. Similarly, missing teeth can lead to problems arising with the teeth that remain. For a variety of cosmetic and functional concerns, we offer dental crowns and dental bridges. These cosmetic dentistry restorations are made to mimic the natural shape and color of teeth, while improving strength to a tooth or your bite as a whole.

A dental crown, or cap, is a restoration that can be used for a number of purposes. One of the most common uses of a dental crown is to restore a tooth that is significantly damaged or decayed. The crown is custom made to fit over the entire tooth, starting at the gum line, in order to restore the tooth to its original shape and size. Dental crowns can be made of gold, porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal; porcelain crowns are popular because they match the natural color and appearance of your teeth. Our dentist will help you determine which type of dental crown is right for your smile.

DENTAL CROWN

Your smile may benefit from a crown if a tooth is damaged or decayed to the point that a dental filling will not provide a successful restoration. Crowns can also be used for a number of other restorative and aesthetic purposes, including:

To protect a tooth following root canal treatment.
To anchor and attach a dental bridge.
To cover and complete a dental implant.
To enhance the beauty of your smile.
To improve a misshapen tooth.
To strengthen a tooth that is fractured or weakened.
To support a large filling when little natural tooth structure remains.

DENTAL BRIDGE

A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Your bridge can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support.

The success of any bridge depends on its foundation — the other teeth, gums, or bone to which it is attached. Therefore, it’s very important to keep your existing teeth, gums, and jaw healthy and strong.
