Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a good way to fix and protect your damaged teeth. If you have a tooth that is very decayed or hurt, our skilled dentists can put a dental crown on it to restore its shape and purpose. Crowns are also used to make bridges for missing teeth, filling in spaces and helping you have a natural, complete smile. If you want to cover a weak tooth or replace a lost one, then our team here at Admire Dental Branford can help you achieve that nice, healthy smile. Come see us and learn how dental crowns can improve your oral health!

Dental Crown: When Should You Consider a Crown?

Dental crowns help to save and repair damaged teeth. You may need a dental crown if:

Tooth Decay: If your cavity is quite large so that it can’t be filled with a simple filling anymore, a crown can make the tooth whole again.
Root Canal Treatment: After a root canal, a crown aids in keeping the tooth healthy and strong.
Teeth: If your tooth is cracked or broken, a crown can repair and protect it.
Best Candidates for Dental Crowns: If you have any of the above issues, then a dental crown may be an appropriate choice for you.

Consult with Admire Dental Bakersfield to find out if a crown would be the best option for you.

Dental Bridges: Restore Your Smile

Dental bridges can be used in filling gaps within your smile with or without partial dentures. The dental bridge is made up of two dental crowns and a false tooth, which forms the basis of the whole process. On either side of the gap, the crowns are set on healthy teeth, but the false tooth fills up the gap produced by the missing tooth. This bridge can help keep the false tooth in its place and restore your smile to its full functionality and beauty.

Caring for Dental Crowns & Bridges

Caring for your dental crowns and bridges is like taking care of your real teeth. To keep them healthy, follow these easy steps:

Brush Twice a Day: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean your crowns and bridges, just like your natural teeth.
Floss Once a Day: It is important to floss between your gums and the base of your bridge. This helps to remove plaque and stop decay or infections.
Visit the Dentist Regularly: Regular checkups with the dentist make sure your crowns and bridges are in good condition, and help keep your oral health in general.

At Admire Dental Bakersfield, we’ll teach you all the ways to keep that smile of yours healthy and nice!
