Dental issues such as extensive decay or missing teeth can significantly impact the function and aesthetics of your smile. Fortunately, dental crowns and bridges offer effective solutions to restore the health and beauty of your teeth. At 222 Main Street Dental in Milford, our experienced dentists provide top-notch crown and bridge restorative dentistry services, tailoring each treatment to meet your unique needs.

Understanding Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a carefully crafted cap that covers the entire visible portion of a damaged or broken tooth. It is exactly created to match your natural teeth and is composed of porcelain, metal, or gold. Crowns are a great choice for teeth that have undergone root canal therapy or have significant decay. A dental crown covers the broken tooth, restoring its strength, use, and appearance so you can confidently eat, speak, and smile.

The Dental Crown Procedure

A dental crown often requires two sessions. Our Milford dentist will prepare the damaged tooth during your initial appointment by cleaning it of decay and shaping it to accept the crown. The impressions of your teeth will then be taken, and our dental lab will use them to build your personalized crown. You will be given a temporary crown to cover your prepared tooth till then.

Understanding Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are prosthetic appliances intended to replace lost teeth, much like dental crowns. Pontics, which are one or more fake teeth, are what they are made of, and dental crowns on either side hold them in place. These crowns, which are often referred to as abutments, are fastened to the neighboring strong teeth to form a "bridge" that bridges the space left by missing teeth.

The Dental Bridge Procedure

A dental bridge typically requires two appointments to be placed. Our Milford dentist will prepare the abutment teeth for the dental crowns during your initial appointment by removing a small amount of enamel. To manufacture your personalized bridge and dental crowns, imprints will be taken and submitted to our dental lab.
