Transform Your Smile with Dental Crowns and Bridges
At Lawrence Park Dental, we understand the importance of a confident and healthy smile. Our skilled team is dedicated to enhancing your dental health and aesthetics through advanced procedures, including dental crowns and bridges.

Crown

When a tooth has been damaged by decay or through an accident, rather than remove the tooth completely, sometimes is possible to fit a cover – known as a crown or cap – over the remaining tooth. Under local anesthetic the tooth is prepared to meet the requirements for the final crown, which will be cemented or bonded onto the tooth. An impression of your teeth and gums is then made and a temporary cap is fitted over the tooth until a permanent crown can be made and installed.

During your next visit, your dentist will remove the temporary cap and cement or bond the final crown onto your tooth. Usually, the crown is installed in two visits about one week to two weeks apart. The inconvenience and after-effects will be minimal.
The end result is a new tooth that should blend in perfectly with the others.

Why Choose Dental Crowns?

  • Restoration of Tooth Structure: Crowns protect and strengthen weakened teeth, preventing further damage.
  • Aesthetic Enhancement: Crafted to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, crowns blend seamlessly with your smile.
  • Long-lasting Solution: With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years, providing a lasting solution to dental issues.

Bridge

A bridge — a device used to replace missing teeth — attaches artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth, called abutment teeth. Bridges are either permanently attached (fixed bridges), or they can be removable.

Fixed bridges are applied by either placing crowns on the abutment teeth or by bonding the artificial teeth directly to the abutment teeth. Removable bridges are attached to the teeth with metal clasps or by precision attachments.

Increased risk of gum disease has proven to be one of the worst side effects of missing teeth and can be minimized with a bridge.

Bridges can be constructed from gold alloys, non-precious alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Porcelain is often bonded to either precious or non-precious metal.

Remember you have to brush and floss them too to keep the bridge and surrounding teeth clean. This is of critical importance as the bridge relies on the neighboring teeth for support.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

  • Improved Functionality: Bridges restore the ability to bite and chew properly, enhancing your overall oral function.
  • Prevent Shifting of Teeth: Filling the gap left by missing teeth helps maintain proper tooth alignment.
  • Enhanced Aesthetics: Dental bridges seamlessly integrate with your natural teeth, rejuvenating your smile.
