Same-Day
Crowns

Crowns

A crown, sometimes referred to as a cap, covers a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and size, while also strengthening and improving its appearance. A crown may be recommended to cover and support a tooth with a large filling. It can be used to attach a bridge, protect a weak tooth from breaking, or restore one that is already broken.

Crowns are sometimes referred to as “caps.” They are an artificial replacement for that part of the tooth that is above the gum line.

Even if your insurance only covers a portion of the fee, a crown or an onlay may be the best way to restore your damaged tooth.
Bridges

Bridges

A bridge is a dental appliance that replaces one or more natural missing teeth, thereby “bridging” the space between two teeth. Fixed bridges are cemented onto the teeth on either side of the space. Unlike removable partial dentures, fixed bridges cannot be removed from the mouth by the patient. If you are missing any teeth and are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene practices, you may be a good candidate for a bridge. If left unfilled, this space can cause the surrounding teeth to drift out of position as well as cause teeth and gums to become more susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease, which can cause further tooth loss. Fixed bridges not only correct an altered bite and improve your chewing ability and speech, but also safeguard your appearance by preventing the collapse of your facial features that can cause premature wrinkles and age lines.

Caring for Bridges
With a bridge, it is more important than ever to brush, floss, and see your dentist regularly. If you do not control the buildup of food debris and plaque, your teeth and gums can become infected, requiring further treatment and resulting in a possible loss of the bridge itself. Your dentist may also recommend using floss threaders that help remove bacteria from hard to reach spaces between the bridge and adjacent teeth and gums.

If you maintain optimal oral hygiene care, you can expect your fixed bridge to last as many as 8-10 years, or even longer.
