How Crowns And Bridges Can Help Your Smile

Dental crowns are extremely helpful if you have a tooth that is in some way weakened and needs protection. Besides protection, they also allow you to employ that tooth as you used to, and certainly give it back its natural appearance. But that is not the extent of their use, they are also a key component of dental bridges that can restore your smile if you are missing a tooth, or more. To explore all ways that crowns and bridges can help your smile you can reach out to Dr. Prasanna Ravuri of Merritt Dental Care in Stamford, CT.

Protecting Teeth

Teeth that are simply chipped or cracked can regularly be restored with either bonding or veneers, and often dental fillings. But it's when they have lost a lot of the tooth structure that a dental crown is typically prescribed. The materials that are used to manufacture them are both strong and durable, but popular choices are those that are tooth-colored.

Root Canals

A root canal is a procedure that aims at saving a tooth that has been affected by decay. To achieve this, much of the top of the tooth is often removed in order to access the soft tissue at the center of your tooth. Eliminating it eliminates pain and halts the spread of infection. But this tooth will need protection going forward, and a dental crown can provide it.

Bridges

Teeth cannot always be saved, unfortunately, but that's where dental bridges come in. They can restore a missing tooth by employing adjacent healthy teeth as support. A series of crowns that are joined together to create, in essence, a bridge between the gap. Healthy teeth are reshaped to accept a crown each and the one in the middle fills this gap.
