Crowns & Bridges
Burleson, Texas
When a tooth is chipped, fractured, worn, or missing, it can impact your smile in many ways. The neighboring teeth may shift, and your bite can change over time. A crack that may seem minor can get worse with every meal. Our team at My Burleson Dentist may recommend a dental crown or a fixed bridge to restore your healthy, beautiful, and functional smile.
At My Burleson Dentist, we use the latest technology and high-quality materials to deliver custom restorations that can withstand the test of time. If a crown or bridge is the right solution for you, we'll explain the process and make sure you are confident in your treatment options. We invite you to visit our Burleson practice to get started today.
Our Treatments
A crown or bridge done right can last for decades. Here, we never cut corners.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A crown is a custom-crafted cap that fits over a weak or damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. At My Burleson Dentist, we use high-quality materials for every crown we place. Zirconia is one of our top choices because it combines exceptional strength with a beautifully lifelike appearance.
The following are some of the reasons you may require a dental crown:
- To restore a cracked, fractured, or otherwise damaged tooth
- To cover a tooth with deep decay or one with a large filling
- To protect a tooth that's just had a root canal treatment
- To improve the size and shape of a severely worn-down tooth
- To replace one or more missing teeth by covering an implant or supporting a bridge
- To improve the color, size, shape, or appearance of a tooth
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is one of the most reliable solutions for filling gaps in your smile left by one or several teeth in a row. It is anchored to crowns on healthy teeth on either side of the space known as abutments, with one or more lifelike replacement teeth in between known as pontics. The result is a fixed restoration that looks natural, restores your ability to enjoy more of your favorite foods, and keeps any surrounding teeth from drifting into the space over time.
What Is the Dental Crown or Bridge Process?
For most patients, getting a crown or bridge takes two appointments spread a couple of weeks apart. For a crown, we will prepare the tooth to accommodate your new restoration. Similarly, we will prepare the two teeth on either side of the space to accommodate the crowns that will hold your bridge securely in place. Next, we will take digital impressions that our partner dental laboratory will use to create your new restoration. Meanwhile, we will place a temporary crown or bridge to protect your prepared tooth or teeth while the permanent restoration is being fabricated.
When your crown or bridge is ready, you'll come in for a placement appointment. We'll check the fit and color match of the final restoration, cement it in place, and make any adjustments needed to ensure a comfortable bite and optimal function. We also walk you through how to care for your new crown or bridge at home to ensure its longevity.
