Dental Crowns & Bridges - Mooresville, NC
We understand the importance of a healthy and beautiful smile. That’s why we offer high-quality
dental crowns and bridges as part of our comprehensive dental services. Whether you have a
damaged tooth or are missing one or more teeth, our expert team is here to restore your smile
and improve your oral health.
Dental Crowns:
Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. They are
designed to restore the tooth’s strength, functionality, and aesthetics. Here’s what you can
expect when you choose our dental crown services:
Consultation:
During your initial consultation, our experienced dentist will evaluate your
oral health, discuss your concerns, and determine if a dental crown is the right solution
for your specific needs. We will also discuss the various crown materials, such as
porcelain, ceramic, or metal.
Preparation:
To ensure a proper fit, the damaged tooth will be prepared by removing a
small amount of its outer structure. This step allows the crown to fit securely over the
tooth without altering your bite or oral function. We will take impressions of your teeth to
create a custom crown that matches your natural teeth’ shape, size, and color.
Temporary Crown:
While your permanent crown is being crafted at our dental laboratory,
a temporary crown will be placed to protect the prepared tooth. It is essential to follow
proper oral hygiene practices and avoid biting on hard or sticky foods during this
temporary period.
Permanent Crown Placement:
Once your permanent crown is ready, we will remove the
temporary crown and carefully bond the permanent crown to the tooth using dental
cement. Our team will ensure that the crown is positioned accurately and comfortably.
We will also check and adjust your bite for optimal function and aesthetics.
Dental Bridges:
Dental bridges are an excellent solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. They consist of
artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by dental crowns on adjacent teeth or dental implants.
Here’s what you can expect from our dental bridge services:
Consultation and Treatment Planning:
During your consultation, our dentist will evaluate
your oral health, discuss your options, and determine if a dental bridge is the right
solution for you. We will consider factors such as the missing teeth’ location, the
surrounding teeth’ condition, and your overall oral health.
Preparation:
If dental crowns are needed to support the bridge, the adjacent teeth will be
prepared similarly to the dental crown process. Impressions will be taken to create a
custom bridge that fits seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Temporary Bridge:
While your permanent bridge is being fabricated, a temporary bridge
will be placed to maintain the appearance and function of your smile.
Permanent Bridge Placement:
Once your permanent bridge is ready, we will remove the
temporary bridge and carefully bond the permanent bridge into place. Our dental team
will ensure that the bridge fits properly, feels comfortable, and restores your ability to bite
and chew efficiently.
