At Montee Tailored Smiles, we expertly restore your smile with high-quality crowns and bridges, combining durability with aesthetics.
Crowns: Protecting and Enhancing Your Teeth
A dental crown acts as a cap that is placed over a tooth, shaped to fit perfectly, and secured with dental cement. This procedure not only improves the strength of a tooth but also enhances its appearance. To ensure a precise fit, a dental impression is made to fabricate the crown. Crowns serve various purposes:
- Protection: Crowns are used to protect and restore the structure of broken or worn-down teeth.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: They improve the aesthetic appearance of teeth that have been discolored or misshapen.
- Restorative Uses: Crowns are essential for covering dental implants, anchoring dental bridges, or topping off a tooth with a large filling.
Materials Used in Crowns:
- Porcelain: Known for its natural appearance, porcelain crowns are preferred for their aesthetic compatibility with natural teeth.
- Gold: Gold crowns are favored for their durability and are typically used on back teeth because they require the removal of less tooth structure.
Bridges: Bridging the Gap in Your Smile
Dental bridges are effective solutions for replacing missing teeth, anchoring securely to adjacent teeth or dental implants. They offer a reliable alternative to dentures and are constructed primarily from porcelain and gold to ensure both strength and a natural appearance.
The Importance of Dental Bridges:
- Prevent Teeth Shifting: Bridges help maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth, which might otherwise shift into the gap left by a missing tooth.
- Reduce Risk of Gum Disease: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of gum disease.
- Restore Functionality: Bridges enable proper chewing and speaking, restoring functionality lost with missing teeth.
- Cosmetic Benefits: They help maintain the natural shape of your face and restore your smile.
Benefits of Crowns and Bridges:
- Durability: Both crowns and bridges are long-lasting solutions when cared for properly.
- Aesthetic Appeal: They provide a natural look, enhancing your smile and overall facial aesthetics.
- Functional Restoration: These restorations help restore your ability to chew and speak, and maintain dental health.
