Helping You Understand Crowns & Bridges
Although many patients have heard of dental bridges and crowns, they may not understand what they entail. That's why our knowledgeable and approachable dental staff is here to break down what each option entails. It's important to note that, depending on your needs, we can place either or both restoration types in your smile.
- Dental Crowns: Dental crowns are a unique type of restoration used to improve the functionality and appearance of a single tooth. They're typically composed of a hollow cap that's placed over your tooth to help strengthen it while keeping its structure intact. The versatile and flexible nature of crowns makes them ideal for restoring your tooth, regardless of its type or position in your smile.
- Dental Bridges: Dental bridges, on the other hand, are a type of restoration that's used to restore multiple teeth in a row. A dental bridge is secured on either side by dental crowns and is made to match the natural appearance of your teeth. Our dentist can place a dental bridge right next to a crown, depending on your unique restorative needs.
Meeting Your Unique Restorative Needs
When you visit our office for your initial appointment, Dr. Husseini will start by conducting an extensive oral exam. Using x-ray technology, we'll look at the overall condition of your teeth, gums, and jawbones. Our dentist will pay particular attention to how extensive your tooth's decay or damage is. For example, if your tooth's decay has progressed too far, we may recommend root canal therapy before receiving your restoration.
Once our dentist has a better understanding of your smile's condition, they'll craft your personalized treatment plan, which details our recommended services. Whether you get a dental crown, dental bridge, or both, we'll provide you with all the information you need, including what the procedure entails and aftercare instructions. One of the ways that we're able to improve the effectiveness of our Northville crown and bridge services is by expanding the materials we use, which include:
- IPS e.max®: As an all-ceramic restorative material, IPS e.max is a popular restoration material for its durability and natural appearance. This type also requires less of your tooth or teeth to be removed for its application and is ideal for patients allergic to metal.
- Zirconia: Zirconia is made of durable monolithic ceramic, providing you with good resistance to cracking and chipping. With consistent flossing and brushing alongside regular dental visits, zirconia crowns and bridges can last for many years.
- Porcelain: Porcelain is a popular material for restorations because of its durability and natural-looking appearance. Our team can use porcelain to craft either crowns or bridges to improve your smile in more ways than one.
