If every day wear and tear has left your teeth broken and discolored, or if your natural teeth are crooked, crowded or missing, your Orland Park dentist can correct these dental problems with durable and esthetic crowns and bridges. Crowns are typically used when a tooth can be repaired individually, while bridges are often used to restore missing teeth or teeth that are damaged beyond repair. With advances in dental technology and materials, crowns and bridges can now be made with porcelain, eliminating dark metal and unsightly bands at the base of the tooth. Protect Damaged Teeth with a Crown Crowns can be used for the following reasons: • To treat or protect a weak tooth, or those with large fillings
• To strengthen a fractured or broken tooth
• To enhance a tooth that is discolored or treated by a root canal
• To hold a dental bridge in place
• To cover a dental implant
• To provide a strong, smooth, attractive surface for stained, misshapen or abnormal teeth
• To improve the shape, size or color of teeth When the damage to a tooth is extensive, a crown is often used to cover the weak tooth. While conventional crowns have been used to strengthen teeth for decades with great success, they unfortunately didn't offer esthetic benefits due to the dark metals used to fabricate the crowns. With recent advancements in dental technology and an increasingly high demand for esthetics from patients, crowns made of porcelain have emerged as a popular alternative to unsightly metal crowns. Bridge the Gap Tooth loss can have a negative effect on the function and appearance of even the most beautiful smile. A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace missing teeth lost by disease or injury. Bridges help combat the negative consequences of tooth loss by helping maintain facial structure and filling in the gaps caused by missing teeth. Fixed bridges are cemented to existing teeth, making them a permanent restoration. Removable bridges, on the other hand, can be removed and cleaned at home. Which dental bridge (removable or fixed) is best for your dental problem can be determined by your dentist in Orland Park. Similar to today's crowns, bridges are more natural-looking and functional than ever before. No longer will you have to wear a denture or false teeth to fill in a gap in your mouth. With today's advances in modern dental crown and bridge materials, repairing and restoring damaged and missing teeth can be very appealing and many times indistinguishable from natural teeth. If you already have crowns that are dark and noticeable, your Orland Park dentist can also replace your old crown with a new, tooth-matching crown. No longer do you have to go about your life with damaged or missing teeth with help from dental crowns and bridges.
