Dental crowns and dental bridges are common ways our Houston dentist treats damage and decay that a simple cavity filling will not sufficiently address. While similar, however, these two prosthetic restorations are different in both structure and purpose. Understanding dental crowns and dental bridges can help you better prepare for which one our Houston cosmetic dentist has recommended for your treatment
When your tooth has sustained too much decay for a traditional filling, our Houston dentist may treat this damage with a dental crown, which is a prosthetic cap that is placed over the tooth after the decay has been removed. This treatment requires two visits to our office, the first of which features an impression of your tooth to make the crown and to remove the decay. Our Houston cosmetic dentist will affix a temporary crown until you can come in for your second visit, which is when the permanent dental crown will be placed.
Much like the procedure for a dental crown, a dental bridge requires two visits: one to remove decay and make an impression for the dental bridge, another to place the permanent dental bridge when it is ready. Our Houston dentist uses dental bridges to treat missing teeth, however, instead of damaged ones. This is done by constructing two crowns with a prosthetic in between to fill the gap of the missing tooth or teeth. These dental crowns attach to your existing teeth surrounding the gap and keep the prosthetic tooth in place.
The process of caring for your dental crown or dental bridge is quite similar. Our Houston cosmetic dentist recommends the following:
The best way to address your damaged or missing teeth is to schedule an appointment to see our Houston dentist right away. Delaying this important treatment could result in more invasive procedures and lead to further damage to your healthy teeth and gums.
