Bridges and Crowns in Provo

Bridges and crowns in Provo are cosmetic procedures where prosthetic appliances are used to permanently repair and replace severely damaged teeth. Other prosthetic devices, like dentures, can be taken out and cleaned. Some see this as convenient, but others see it as more of a burden. That is why we provide the best bridges and crowns in Provo, for those who would prefer a fixed solution. We will use either your existing teeth or dental implants as anchors. Our cosmetic crowns and bridges are strongly cemented into place and can last for many years. When compared to dentures, these permanent prosthetics are more aesthetically appealing and require less maintenance. You will be able to care for crowns and bridges as if they were always part of your natural smile. They will also look the part.

What are dental crowns?

If one of your teeth becomes severely damaged then a crown is used as a cover or cap. Not only will a crown help improve the appearance of a ruined tooth, but it will also restore strength, structure, and function. The shape and alignment of your smile will not be compromised because all crowns are custom made in a laboratory. Generally crowns are made from several different materials and composites. That is how we can match each patient's needs. One of the most popular and most natural looking materials for crowns is porcelain. These crowns are durable, meant to last several years with proper dental care. In our office dental crowns will correct broken, fractured, and decayed teeth and fillings.

What are dental bridges?

Bridges are strong and long lasting replacements for your damaged smile. Dental bridges, much like the name implies, are prosthetics used to bridge the gap created by missing permanent teeth. If you have ever lost one of your secondary teeth then you fully understand how inconvenient and uncomfortable it can be. Bridges are usually made up two anchoring crowns placed on neighboring teeth and a false tooth in the middle. You will not have to worry about unsightly gaps or discrepancies in color and shape. These appliances are made from alloys, porcelain, or a combination of the two so they look more natural. Much like crowns and other cosmetic appliances, our dental bridges will leave your smile looking beautiful.

The procedures for bridges and crowns in Provo are much the same. Usually they require two visits during our office hours. On the first visit we will prepare your mouth for the crown or bridge. First we will have to grind down any teeth that will require a crown so the appliances will fit entirely over the tooth. Then we will make a mold of your teeth to send to the laboratory. These molds ensure that the dental crowns created will match the specifics of your unique smile. Then we will insert a temporary replacement to help protect what is left of your tooth while we wait for the crowns to arrive.

During the second visit we will remove your temporary cap and fit the new crown or bridge into place. We want to be sure that your dental appliance and prosthetic fit perfectly so our dentist will take the time to make minute adjustments until you are satisfied and comfortable. When finished the work done will blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. After the final fitting and reshaping, the crown or bridge is permanently cemented into place. Ours are the best bridges and crowns in Provo because we take time to work out all of the details, leaving you fully satisfied with our work.
