Advantages of Crowns & Bridges in Gainesville, VA
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover a damaged tooth to support and repair it. They can also provide cosmetic benefits like covering discoloration.
A dental crown can help with a range of dental problems, including:
- Support a tooth that has been significantly damaged by decay
- Protect a tooth that is worn from being damaged further
- Hold a severely cracked or broken tooth together
- Cover a dental implant
- Improve the appearance of a tooth by changing its shape or color
Dental bridges are an excellent option for restoring your smile. They use two crowns to anchor one or more replacement teeth in the gap between them like a bridge. Some of their benefits include:
- They look, function, and feel like natural teeth- with dental bridges, you will find that daily activity such as eating and speaking are much easier.
- Non-invasive, simple procedure- some dental restorations involve extensive processes, including surgery and months of recovery. On the other hand, dental bridges can be completed in just a few short visits to the dentist and do not typically involve any surgical procedure.
- Supporting adjacent teeth- if you have a gap in your smile, the surrounding teeth may begin to shift out of alignment. Having a bridge helps fill the gap and keep your smile looking great.
