What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is made of synthetic material, usually zirconia or porcelain, and is used to strengthen and protect the tooth. Our porcelain crowns are used to repair damage when too much of the original tooth has been lost. They are also used to cover teeth that are badly shaped or discolored. Many of our dental crowns, also known as teeth caps, are designed to look and feel natural, enhancing the appearance of your smile.
What are CEREC same-day crowns?
Dr. Michelsen has equipped our office with CEREC, a state-of-the-art technology that allows us to create crowns and place them in one visit! When you come into our office for a dental crown, we can take a digital imprint of your teeth and then manufacture a new crown while you wait. This is especially convenient when a patient needs a root canal, a procedure that used to take several visits to complete.
What is a dental bridge?
Dental bridges use crowns for placement, providing a small row of teeth to fill in gaps in your smile. The crown provides functionality and aesthetics for your smile. Dental crowns are bonded to your natural teeth to stabilize the pontic.
Bridges are usually made from porcelain and gold alloys. Some are removable, and some are permanent. The crowns are placed on existing teeth, and the pontic, or artificial tooth, fits into the gap where the tooth has been missing.
