Crowns And Bridges in Oceanside CA

Many patients have found that dental crowns and bridges have helped them regain confidence in themselves and their smiles. As technology advances, dental bridges and crowns are becoming more and more like natural teeth. As technology advances, more and more people can have their smiles entirely restored. Grace Dental is here to help you with all of your dental needs.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace a missing tooth. Bridges are sometimes constructed of porcelain that has been fused to metal to improve the chewing capacity and appearance of the teeth.
A bridge is made up of an artificial tooth or teeth that are attached to two crowns. These crowns are fitted over the healthy, pre-prepped teeth on either side of the gap left by the lost tooth or teeth. Once a bridge is in place, it operates exactly like natural teeth.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Crowns are hollow prosthetic teeth that are placed over what’s left of the structure of an existing tooth. They are often made out of porcelain or ceramics. Dental crowns can be used to safeguard a weak or injured tooth, especially one that has fragmented.
Crowns are placed by first reducing the size of the existing tooth by filing away the outer enamel and portion of the underlying dentin, allowing the crown to be fitted on top of it. The crown is then cemented in place with dental cement.

Advantages of Dental Crowns and Bridges

Aesthetics
A gap in your teeth makes you less likely to smile and makes you feel insecure about your looks. Having a bridge or crown installed will restore your confidence, and you’ll feel better knowing that your teeth are in good shape. Nobody will be able to tell you’ve had cosmetic surgery because the porcelain will match the natural color of your teeth.
No Hassle
It is significantly easier to care for crowns and bridges when they do not need to be removed. Brush twice a day, as usual, to keep them clean, and your dentist may give you other instructions on how to care for them.
Durability
Crowns and bridges can last up to 15 years or longer if you maintain a good oral hygiene routine and keep your mouth clean. It is critical to continue with frequent checkups to ensure that there are no difficulties, but if properly cared for, they will last a very long time.
