Crowns and Bridges
Dental Crowns In Bromley
Dental crowns and bridges are a versatile restorative treatment that can repair damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their function, strength, and appearance.
Dental crowns often referred to as “caps,” crowns cover the entire visible portion of a tooth, providing a protective layer and a natural-looking restoration.
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap created by missing teeth, restoring your smile and oral functionality.
Here is how it works:
- Consultation: You’ll discuss your smile goals with your dentist, who will assess your teeth and determine if you’re a good candidate for veneers.
- Preparation: A small amount of enamel may be removed from the front surface of your teeth to create space for the veneers. Digital Impressions are then taken to create custom veneers in a dental laboratory.
- Bonding: Once the veneers are fabricated, they are carefully bonded to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive.
If you have discolored fillings that you’d like to improve, crowns offer an excellent solution for enhancing your smile. They can effectively replace these fillings, creating a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Furthermore, if you’ve undergone root canal treatment, a crown is essential to protect the restored tooth. This allows you to regain full functionality, enabling you to eat and bite down with confidence. Crowns also play a crucial role in anchoring bridges or dentures, ensuring they remain securely in place.
Treatment Benefits
- Improved Aesthetics: Veneers can dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile by correcting a variety of imperfections, such as discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, misshapen teeth, and minor misalignments. This results in a more uniform, bright, and attractive smile.
- Natural Look: Porcelain veneers are crafted from a material that closely mimics the look and feel of natural tooth enamel. This ensures that your new smile looks both beautiful and believable.
- Durability: With proper care, porcelain veneers can last for many years, often a decade or more. They are a long-lasting investment in your smile.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain is highly resistant to staining, which helps maintain the brightness of your veneers and your overall smile. This is a significant advantage over natural teeth, which can be prone to staining from food and beverages.
- Minimal Tooth Preparation: The preparation for veneers typically requires minimal removal of tooth enamel, making it a less invasive procedure compared to other cosmetic dental treatments. This helps preserve more of your natural tooth structure
