Get The Smile You Deserve With Crowns & Bridges
At Kirkland Lake Dental Office in Kirkland Lake, we proudly offer crowns and bridges to prevent further damage, more extensive dental work, and replace missing teeth.
What are crowns and bridges?
A crown is a covering or cap placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are made of metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), all-porcelain, or all-ceramic materials. They can strengthen a tooth, improve its appearance, or cover a dental implant. Meanwhile, a bridge is an artificial tooth called a pontic that is fused between two crowns to replace one or more missing teeth. Bridges can also replace several missing teeth in different areas of the mouth.
What is involved in receiving crowns and bridges?
Receiving crowns and bridges requires two to three visits to our office. At the first visit, our dentist will examine your teeth and take X-rays to determine if you are a good candidate for crowns or bridges. If so, an impression of your teeth will be made to ensure a proper fit for the crown or bridge. The second visit involves placing the crown or bridge on the prepared tooth. Finally, at the last visit, your new crown or bridge will be adjusted and polished for a comfortable and secure fit.
Who is a good candidate for crowns and bridges?
Patients with a damaged, decayed or missing tooth may benefit from a crown or bridge. Crowns and bridges can also improve your bite by making chewing and speaking easier and enhancing your smile's appearance.
