Do you have chips, cracks, or discolorations in your smile? Our South Shore Dental Excellence team can fix these issues, restore your tooth shape, and protect your tooth from future damage using a dental tooth crown. A dental crown is a cap or covering that can go directly over your natural tooth. Each crown is made from sturdy, natural-looking porcelain that looks and feels natural.
At our office, serving patients in Apollo Beach & Riverview, FL, we can use state-of-the-art CEREC technology to create and fit stunning dental crowns in less than a day. Offices without access to CEREC technology have to have their crowns created in a lab. Technically, a tooth crown can lessen pain caused by having a damaged tooth. A tooth crown can also alleviate that “something is ‘missing’ feeling” in your mouth. A tooth crown can also be a foundation for a dental bridge or other appliances. We provide the one-visit CEREC system, using technology that creates and builds your permanent dental crown in one visit!
Our tooth crowns can also be used to replace missing teeth using a dental bridge.
Dental bridges are a series of dental crowns that can be used to “bridge” a gap left by a missing tooth. Crowning your adjacent teeth allows us to use them as posts and cement dental crowns in between them to fill the gap with a comfortable and functional tooth replacement.
Benefits of dental bridges include:
Restores the ability to properly chew and speak
Helps to maintain the structure of your face and prevent you from looking prematurely aged
Even the distribution of bite force
Prevents remaining teeth from drifting out of position
