Crowns And Bridges in Vacaville CA

Crowns

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover that is applied or placed over a damaged, weakened, chipped, or broken tooth. It is placed to cover the exposed area so that its natural form can be restored and further destruction can be avoided. Sometimes a filling is not the only solution on a damaged tooth, so the long-term solution is to place a crown. All metals and all ceramics are typically used to make crowns, and sometimes a combination of the two will work. Crowns are custom made for each patient, so it may take more than one appointment to complete the entire process. The procedure begins by numbing the area to make the patient comfortable. The dentist will use a dental hand piece to shape and prepare the tooth so that the crown can fit over it easily. The dentist then takes an impression of the prepared tooth, and usually a temporary crown is placed to protect it. These impressions help create a model of your mouth to make the final crown. When the final crown is ready, dental cement is applied to the crown to restore healthy tooth function.

Bridges

A dental bridge is the process of placing artificial teeth attached to a set of crowns that are used to bridge the gap between one or more missing teeth. The dentist then create a customized bridge so that it looks natural and functions properly. Dental hand pieces are used to prepare the side teeth that will support the teeth in the gap. A temporary bridge is made by taking impressions of the prepared teeth. The final bridge is built on the other side. Once prepared, the final bridge is cemented onto the supporting teeth, eliminating the need for removal or adjustment.
