Dental Crown + Bridges
Dental Crown and Bridges in Irvine CA
A crown is a porcelain shell that fits around a tooth. It is designed to closely mimic the shape, size, color, and texture of a natural healthy tooth, so it will look natural in the mouth. Sometimes crowns are used for cosmetic purposes, but they are often used in restorative dentistry.
Crown Placement Process
A crown can be placed to strengthen a tooth that has cracked or fractured. Crowns are also placed on teeth that have been weakened through having had a large filling or a root canal. Sometimes referred to as “caps,” these restorations fit over the entire surface of the tooth. They are custom-fabricated to match the surrounding teeth for a seamless result.
Bridges
A dental bridge is designed to fill the gap left by a missing tooth. A traditional fixed bridge is composed of an artificial tooth, called a pontic, which is held in place by two dental crowns, which are placed over the teeth adjacent to the gap. Like crowns, bridges are custom-created for each individual patient.
