When it comes to dental health, function and beauty often go hand in hand. Dental crowns and bridges are perfect examples of this harmony, providing both structural support and aesthetic enhancement. At Huggett Dental, we understand the importance of a healthy, beautiful smile and offer top-tier dental crowns and bridges to our patients in Oconomowoc, WI.
Dental crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants. Crowns are used to entirely cover or "cap" a damaged tooth or cover an implant. On the other hand, bridges are commonly used to cover the space if you’re missing one or more teeth. They are cemented to natural teeth or implants surrounding the space where the tooth once stood.
Not only do these dental solutions restore your smile, but they also maintain the shape of your face, and alleviate stress on your bite. They are made to match the color of your natural teeth, giving you a natural, seamless smile.
Both dental crowns and bridges offer a host of benefits. They help restore tooth function and improve the appearance of your smile. Crowns protect weak teeth from breaking, hold together parts of a cracked tooth, and can be used to hold a bridge in place. Bridges, meanwhile, help maintain the shape of your face and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
Additional benefits include:
At Huggett Dental, we aim to make every procedure as comfortable and efficient as possible. Both crown and bridge placements typically require two visits. The first visit involves preparation and impression of the teeth, while the second visit is when the final, custom-made crown or bridge is placed.
Our team will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring you understand what to expect and providing personalized care to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
With proper care, your dental crowns and bridges can last a lifetime. It's important to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing twice a day and flossing regularly. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings at Huggett Dental are also crucial to maintain your dental health and ensure the longevity of your crowns and bridges.
Remember, even though crowns and bridges are artificial, the teeth and gums they are attached to can still become infected if not properly cared for.
