Sometimes called “caps,” a crown provides added protection and reinforcement for weak teeth. Perhaps you’ve had a large crack or cavity that compromises your tooth, making it prone to breaking down. Placing a crown over the remaining tooth enamel allows for normal biting and chewing pressure without damaging the tooth overall. Crowns are made from tooth-colored ceramics for durability as well as aesthetics.
If you have one or two missing teeth, a bridge fills in that space by anchoring a functional crown on top of the adjacent teeth, suspending an artificial tooth between them. Bridges serve a dual purpose by reinforcing the supporting teeth if they happen to be in need of a protective crown. Take care to clean under your bridge daily with a water flosser, floss threader, or tufted floss.
Quickly replace all of your missing teeth with a custom, removable denture. Dentures are efficient and affordable, making them a popular tooth replacement solution in Durham. Be sure to remove your prosthesis nightly and continue to schedule regular checkups.
If you have missing teeth, our Durham dentist can pair your crown, bridge, or denture with dental implants. These supported restorations eliminate the need for removable appliances or add extra reinforcement for traditional dentures.
