What is a Dental Crown? A dental crown is a tooth restoration that completely encases a damaged tooth or dental implant. Dental crowns help restore the look and functionality of your smile by providing natural looking results that are customized to your individual smile. When is a Dental Crown Needed?... 1. To protect a weakened tooth (from decay or trauma) from further damage or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth. 2. To cover and support a tooth after a large filling or root canal where there isn't a lot of the natural tooth left. 3. To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down. 4. To cover a misshapen or severely discolored tooth. 5. To stabilize a dental bridge or cover a dental implant.

Dental Implants 101: Dental Implant vs. Dental Bridge What's the difference? A dental implant is made up of a small titanium screw topped with a dental crown. The implant is drilled into the jaw, where it fuses with the jaw bone making it not only permanent, but also virtually indistinguishable from your other teeth. ... A dental bridge is a fixed partial denture that uses the adjacent teeth to stabilize the tooth replacement. The two adjacent teeth are reduced in size to allow for the restoration to be secured on top of them. The 'dummy tooth' is called a pontic and utilizes the adjacent teeth for support. BREAKDOWN: Dental implants are often more preferable as they do not interfere with the structure of healthy adjacent teeth. Dental implants use the bone tissue, much like natural teeth, to anchor within the jaw. This way you are enabled to simply treat the tooth that needs treatment without having to drag other teeth into the mix. Also dental bridges are more difficult to clean and will require the use of floss threaders to remove food particles and plaque from under the restoration. Dental implants simulate natural teeth, can be cleaned normally and also stimulate the bone tissue within the jaw keeping your smile healthy, strong, and beautiful.

Tooth Loss 101: The bone between your nose and chin is there because your teeth are there. Your jaw bone is very much like a muscle in that it requires exercise to maintain its shape. When the teeth in your jaw are missing, your jaw bone stops getting the exercise its needs and atrophies (shrinks). As the jaw bone decreases in mass, the facial features are no longer supported by teeth and bone structure. This is what causes patients to appear much older than they really are.... The decreasing of bone mass also causes dentures to continually come loose and need to be relined. Dental implants provide a permanent solution for tooth loss, are made of the same material as artificial joints and are biologically compatible. Dental implants fuse with the jaw bone and are able to simulate natural teeth. Whether you are missing a single tooth, several teeth or all your teeth, dental implants may help to restore your smile, confidence and youthful appearance!
