Dental Crowns & Bridges in Abbotsford
Every one of your natural teeth is meant to help you eat and grin effectively, but at Lifetime Dental at Sevenoaks, we know that sometimes natural teeth require involved restorative treatments to keep them looking great. Here’s where crowns and bridges provide a fantastic way to fill the space a missing tooth leaves behind while also protecting the teeth that surround it. Specifically, when it comes to bridge and crown front teeth restoration, the focus not only encompasses restoring functionality but also places a high emphasis on aesthetic appeal.
What happens to your mouth when you lose a tooth?
It’s likely that during your adult life, you may lose a tooth because of decay, injury, or gum disease. As a result, chewing forces are likely to shift vertically and horizontally, creating additional spaces. This can have a snowball effect that can change the appearance of your smile, jawline, and your face overall. Teeth that are not replaced can also cause wrinkles and lines to form, initiating the look of premature aging. Bone loss will also occur in your jaw.
As a dentist in Abbotsford, our focus is on helping you smile with confidence, and repairing your smile with crowns and/or bridges is an effective way to accomplish this. When we talk about crown and bridge dental work, we're referring to highly customized treatments designed to restore both the function and appearance of your teeth.
What is a dental crown?
A crown is the area of your tooth that sits above the gum line. When a damaged tooth requires protection, a prosthetic crown can be constructed with porcelain, stainless steel, or even gold. Each of these materials is durable and effective and has the potential to last for 10 years or more when cared for with diligent hygiene habits. In the context of restorative dentistry, crown and bridge teeth solutions play a pivotal role in not just protecting individual teeth but also in bridging the gaps left by missing teeth.
In terms of how it’s placed, we will prepare the tooth and our laboratory technicians will create a customized crown that will look and function like your natural tooth. Once crafted and ready to place, we will test its fit and once we’ve confirmed it looks and feels great, you’ll be able to chew and smile as you normally would. The dental crown and bridge procedure is a meticulously planned and executed treatment designed to restore not only the aesthetics of your smile but also its functionality.
