Dental Crowns and Bridges Specialist in Norwalk, CT

Dental crowns are a popular treatment for a wide range of dental problems, from small cavities to large-scale tooth decay. They help to protect and strengthen teeth, and can also improve the appearance of a smile. They work by providing a strong, durable surface that can protect sensitive tooth tissues from further damage and also help to prevent further tooth decay. Dental crowns are used to protect and strengthen a tooth when a large cavity or other type of damage has been detected. They may also be used to close a space in a tooth when a tooth has been partially removed for reasons such as a large cavity. Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including ceramic, metal, and composite.

Dental bridges are a popular option for replacing a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. They are made of two or more teeth on either side of the space, with a bridge or fake tooth in the middle. Dental bridges are used to help prevent the other teeth from moving, making them an effective solution for tooth loss. Dental bridges work by filling in a space between teeth and providing a foundation for artificial teeth. A bridge is placed across the gap and is secured to teeth on either side, often with artificial teeth known as pontics. This helps to prevent other teeth from moving into the space and causing damage or discomfort.

Dental crowns and dental bridges are common dentistry procedures that serve two distinct functions. Crowns are essentially false tooth cap that improves the strength and biting force of a tooth after it has been compromised due to decay, damage, or infection. Each crown is custom-made to match the shape and feel of the natural teeth. The color and texture can also be matched to the existing teeth and are typically made of porcelain or resin.

On the other hand, dental bridges are prosthetic appliances that are used to treat patients with a missing tooth or several consecutive missing teeth. Typically made of porcelain, bridges are fused to metal for improving the function and appearance of the teeth. Firmly fixed between two crowns, bridges are secured in place to prevent adjacent teeth from closing in on the gap.

Dental bridges and crowns should be cared for just like regular teeth, requiring brushing and flossing twice daily. In some cases, a soft-bristled brush may be recommended when caring for bridges in order to minimize wear and tear. Furthermore, it is important to prevent tooth decay with dental crowns or bridges by eating a healthy, well-balanced diet. Finally, people with dental bridges or crowns should see their dentist twice a year; this allows the dentist to detect any early signs of oral disease and take the necessary steps in order to prevent its development.
