Crowns and Bridges - Two Paths to Tooth Restoration

Even if a tooth has lost much of its structure through caries or other injury, it is possible to remain alive. However, this tooth will no longer work or look as it should, so it may negatively influence your – otherwise beautiful – smile.
But there is good news: your teeth can be restored with crowns and bridges and trips to an oral sedation dentistry Highlands Ranch office !
Dental crowns
These natural replicas of natural crowns can fully restore both the function and aesthetics of the teeth.
Dental crowns are useful in many situations. For example, decayed teeth that have been repeatedly sealed must be covered with a dental crown to be strengthened and protected from fracture. Teeth with root canal treatment must also be protected by covering them with an artificial dental crown. A crown can also improve the appearance of chipped, fractured, irreversibly discolored or abnormally grown teeth.
Dental bridges
They have been used successfully for decades, to replace lost teeth. With their help, we can replace one or more missing teeth, with one fixed restoration. A dental bridge consists of at least two pillars (i.e. two crowns that are fixed on the natural teeth), and the bridge body between them (i.e. the missing teeth replacements).
