Dental Crowns

As a dentist at Westwyn Dental, I’m excited to talk about the benefits of crowns and bridges. This is a treatment we’re really good at and it can make a big difference to your oral health. Crowns and bridges are basically fixed false teeth that we attach onto your existing teeth or implants. We use a crown when a tooth is broken or damaged. It’s specially made to fit over the whole tooth from the gum line upwards to make the tooth stronger and look better. A bridge on the other hand, is what we use when you’ve got one or more teeth missing. It helps stop the rest of your teeth from moving around, which could give you a bad bite. Bridges also keep the shape of your face and take the pressure off your bite. By replacing the missing teeth, there are loads of benefits to having crowns and bridges. They can bring back your smile and your confidence. They’re a natural and comfortable way to sort out damaged or missing teeth. Plus, they give you back the ability to chew and speak properly, which can be affected when you have damaged or missing teeth. What’s more? Crowns and bridges are tough and can last a long time with the right care and regular dental checkups. They can also stop other oral problems like tooth decay and gum disease by sealing properly and filling in the gaps between teeth.

As a dentist here at Westwyn Dental, I’m more than happy to break down these common dental procedures for you. You see crowns and bridges are both types of dental restorations that can really boost the function and look of your teeth. Now, a dental crown, which you might hear being called a cap, is a kind of restoration that fully encases a tooth or a dental implant. We often resort to crowns when there’s a big cavity that could jeopardize the health of a tooth. They’re usually bonded to the tooth with a dental cement. Crowns can be made from a variety of materials and are typically created using indirect methods. They’re a great way to enhance the strength or appearance of your teeth. On the flip side, a bridge is a dental restoration that’s used to fill in the gaps left by one or more missing teeth. By permanently attaching an artificial tooth to the surrounding teeth or dental implants.
A bridge literally bridges the gap where teeth are missing. They’re secured to the natural teeth or implants around this space. The natural teeth are implants that hold up the bridge are known as abutments. Here at West Wind Dental, we offer both crowns and bridges to our patients in and around Berwyn, Cicero, Riverside, North Riverside, and Stickney. These procedures don’t just restore the function of your teeth. They also give you a smile you can be proud of. We use cutting-edge technology and materials to make sure your crowns and bridges look as natural as possible, and last a long time.
