Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are dental restorations that are used to replace missing or damaged teeth. These restorations are common in dentistry and can help restore the appearance, function, and health of your teeth.


Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to provide strength and protect it from further damage. Crowns are typically made of porcelain or ceramic, and they are designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.


Dental bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of two dental crowns that are placed on the teeth on either side of the gap and an artificial tooth (or teeth) that is suspended between the two crowns. Bridges can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys.

How do Dental Crowns and Bridges Work?

Dental crowns and bridges restore the function and appearance of damaged or missing teeth. In the case of a crown, it is placed over a damaged tooth to provide support and protection. The crown is shaped to fit the tooth precisely and is cemented into place.


In the case of a bridge, it is placed in the gap where one or more teeth are missing. The dental crowns are placed over the teeth on either side of the gap, and the artificial tooth (or teeth) is suspended between them. This creates a functional and aesthetically pleasing replacement for the missing teeth.

Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are effective dental restorations that can improve the appearance, function, and health of your teeth. They provide a convenient and long-lasting solution for damaged or missing teeth and can help to restore your confidence in your smile. If you are in need of dental restorations, talk to Dr. Antani to see if dental crowns and bridges are right for you.

Fillings

Dental fillings are an important dental service that helps to restore and protect teeth. Dental fillings are used to treat cavities and decay in teeth. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the remaining area is filled with a material such as composite resin or amalgam. Fillings help to restore the structure of the tooth and prevent further decay.


Dental fillings are an excellent and cost-effective treatment for addressing minor to moderate decay and damage. By applying a dental filling, we immediately restore the function of the affected tooth, enabling you to eat, speak, and smile with renewed confidence. More importantly, fillings provide vital protection by sealing off the damaged area, which prevents the entry of bacteria and halts the progression of decay, thereby helping to avoid more severe dental issues down the road. This makes them a convenient solution, often requiring just one or two quick visits to NAPA Family Dental to complete, especially when compared to more invasive and costly procedures like dental implants or crowns.
