Crown and Bridge Treatment Can Strengthen Your Smile

At Apple Dental in Surrey, we specialize in providing crown and bridge treatment. A dental crown is a cap that covers the entire visible surface of a tooth, while a dental bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, replaces one or more missing teeth. Both procedures are designed to restore your smile and improve your oral health.

How are dental crowns and bridges placed?

After numbing the area with a local anesthetic, our dentist will reshape the affected tooth or teeth. An impression will then be made and sent to a dental lab, where your custom restoration will be created. In the meantime, one or more temporary crowns will be placed on your affected tooth or teeth. Once your permanent restoration arrives, we will schedule an appointment to ensure that it fits perfectly before permanently cementing it into place.

What are the benefits of dental crowns and bridges?

These restorations offer numerous advantages that include protecting weakened teeth from further damage, restoring your ability to chew food effectively, preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of position, and improving the overall health of your smile.

Who should consider undergoing a crown and bridge procedure?

If you have a missing tooth or severely decayed or damaged teeth, these options may be a great way to restore your smile. You can rest assured that should you be interested in restoring your smile with crown and bridge treatment, we will evaluate your oral health and help you determine if this treatment is right for you.
