Enhance Your Smile with Dental Crowns and Bridges
Damaged or missing teeth can affect your ability to chew, speak, and feel confident in your smile. Dental crowns and bridges are reliable solutions that restore both function and appearance. These restorations are designed to look natural while strengthening your overall oral health.
At Pine Ridge Dental, crowns and bridges are customized to blend seamlessly with your smile and provide lasting results.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used to:
- Repair cracked or worn teeth
- Protect teeth after root canal treatment
- Cover large fillings
- Improve the look of misshapen or discolored teeth
- Restore dental implants
Benefits:
- Strengthens and protects teeth
- Restores normal function
- Matches natural tooth color
- Durable with proper care
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to nearby teeth or implants. Bridges can:
- Fill gaps from missing teeth
- Prevent shifting of surrounding teeth
- Restore chewing and speaking ability
- Maintain bite alignment
Benefits:
- Natural-looking results
- Fixed, stable solution
- Supports facial structure
- Evenly distributes bite pressure
Crowns vs. Bridges
- Crowns restore a single damaged tooth
- Bridges replace one or more missing teeth
- Crowns may also support bridges or implants
Your dentist will recommend the best option for your needs.
