Crowns and Bridges Wake Forest

Cracked, damaged, and missing teeth can effect more than just a person’s smile. Damaged teeth can cause speech issues and make it difficult to chew. When teeth are missing, the space allows for the possibility for other teeth to move and drift out of position. Bridges and crowns are used to correct issues caused by missing or damaged teeth.

Bridges and Crowns

When there is no longer enough tooth remain for fillings to be effective, crowns are used to restore the tooth to its normal size and shape. Crowns cover the tooth and hold it together, so as to avoid further damage if it is cracked. Crowns improve the appearance of the damaged tooth and can even be matched to the natural color of your teeth. Crowns can be useful for:

• Capping a tooth for which a root canal has been performed
• Cover an implant or misshapen tooth
• Repair a fractured tooth
• Guard a weak tooth from becoming fractured

Bridges

Bridges mimic a missing tooth. A bridge is a combination of two crowns on either side of the gap with a “pontic” or artificial tooth in between. The space left by missing teeth can cause the other teeth to move and shift, which can affect a person’s speech and bite. Like crowns, bridges help recapture your natural smile, and improve problems caused by missing or severely damaged teeth.
