Dentistry With A Gentle Touch

Dental Crowns

If you need to have your tooth restored to its original size and shape, or get a complete "makeover" on the affected tooth, a crown is the most logical option.

While inlays and outlays cover the chewing surface of the tooth and fillings fill in the empty interior space of the tooth, crowns completely cover every visible part of the tooth - which is why they are sometimes referred to as "caps." A part of your tooth remains but is essentially "rebuilt" to resemble the tooth at its exterior best.

Dental Bridges

Having one or more missing teeth can have a serious effect not only on your smile, but also on your dental health. Like dental implants, dental bridges are used to replace missing a tooth, except bridges are supported by the teeth on either side called abutment teeth.

Like many cosmetic dental procedures, placing bridges also serves a restorative purpose. A dental bridge will improve your ability to chew and speak as well as your smile. In a recent study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association, dental bridges were shown to dramatically reduce the risk of losing teeth that are adjacent to a missing tooth. In addition, dental bridges can help keep your jaw and face from changing shape, as they tend to do when a person has missing teeth.
