Complete A Health-Looking Smile With Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are two popular restorative dental procedures offered at Methuen Family Dentistry in Methuen that can dramatically improve your smile’s function and aesthetics. Whether dealing with a damaged tooth or missing teeth, these versatile solutions can help restore oral health, confidence, and quality of life.
What are dental crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth. It provides strength, protection and restores the tooth’s natural appearance. Crowns are typically recommended for teeth that are severely decayed, fractured, weakened or have undergone root canal therapy. Depending on your needs, they can be made from various materials like porcelain, metal alloys, or a combination of both.
What are dental bridges?
Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges not only fill the gaps left by missing teeth but also help maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth, prevent shifting, and restore proper bite function.
What are the benefits of crowns and bridges?
Crowns help restore the strength and function of damaged teeth, allowing you to bite, chew, and speak comfortably. They act as a protective barrier, preventing further damage or decay to the underlying tooth structure.
Dental bridges restore your ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper teeth alignment. Bridges fill the gaps left by missing teeth, helping to preserve the integrity of your bite and improving the overall aesthetics of your smile. Both crowns and bridges offer natural-looking solutions, boosting self-confidence and allowing you to smile, speak, and eat easily.
