Crowns and Bridges

Dental Crowns and Bridges

At Ace Smile Dentistry, we understand the importance of preserving your natural teeth for a healthy and appealing smile. Yet, there are instances where damage or decay may compromise their integrity. In such cases, dental crowns and bridges offer a solution, allowing you to retain your natural teeth while enhancing the aesthetics of your smile. As part of our general dentistry services, we provide these treatments to ensure that you can maintain your oral health and enhance your smile simultaneously.

The Distinction between Dental Crowns and Bridges

Customized dental crowns, also referred to as caps, are crafted to snugly fit over existing teeth, offering them protection and restoring their natural shape and function. Prior to the placement of a dental crown, the natural tooth may undergo treatment to address infections or undergo resizing if necessary. Conversely, dental bridges consist of false teeth designed to fill gaps caused by missing teeth, and they are affixed to adjacent natural teeth.

Advantages of Dental Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are essential components of restorative dentistry, serving to preserve natural teeth and maintain proper tooth alignment. These treatments not only promote oral health but also contribute to overall well-being. By choosing dental crowns and bridges, patients can enjoy the benefits of retaining their natural teeth and enhancing their oral function and aesthetics.
