Crowns and Bridge
Smile restoration can involve a number of innovative treatments and techniques. Crowns and bridges in Cleveland Heights, OH are one of the most common options for patients with certain dental issues. At Easton Dental, we use the latest in dental technology, such as digital cone beam technology and CEREC same-day crowns to make sure you are happy with your experience.
Why Dental Crowns and Bridges May Be Recommended
Dental crowns and/or bridges may be recommended when a tooth or a series of teeth are damaged beyond the point of usual repair. For example, a tooth that has a large area of decay may not be structurally sound with a substantially-sized filling. Or, you may even have a gap where you have lost one of your natural teeth.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown, which sometimes gets referred to as “caps,” is a permanent fixture that looks like your natural tooth. A crown may be recommended for severe decay, tooth damage or wear, or if you need a bridge. The crown slips over the prepared but damaged tooth much like a cap and is bonded in place to restore the tooth’s appearance and function.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a restoration piece that fills in gaps where a tooth may be missing. Crowns and bridges are used together because the bridge relies on the adjacent crowns for support. For example, if one of your front teeth is missing, you may need a bridge that is supported by crowns on either side to fill the gap.
