Dental Bridges: consist of two crowns and one or more false teeth. Dental bridges are structurally supported by the surrounding natural teeth. When missing teeth are replaced using dental bridges the adjacent teeth (called abutment teeth) require restorations, usually crowns, in order to support the replacement tooth (called a pontic).
When a tooth is lost, the adjacent and opposing teeth may drift, causing a change in your bite that may lead to greater dental problems. The change in your bite can result in additional tooth loss, fractured teeth or fillings, jaw pain, and possibly headaches. Failing to replace a missing tooth with dental bridges can also lead to gum disease and other dental hygiene problem
Porcelain Onlays, Porcelain Inlays and Crowns
When you’ve got damage or decay within the cusp of a tooth, a porcelain inlay is used just like a traditional filling, but looks much more natural. Oftentimes they’ll be used to replace failing traditional fillings in a far more advanced, durable way. Onlays are used to treat the same damage or decay entire crown.
A porcelain crown is a restorative dentistry technique that can address a wide variety of dental problems. When a tooth is damaged, the best type of restoration is determined by many different factors. The amount of decay, the size of a previous filling, or the risk of fracture of a tooth often makes porcelain crowns the dental restoration of choice.
A porcelain crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged tooth to restore the tooth to healthy shape, size, and strength.
