DENTAL CROWNS AND BRIDGES

Crowns

At Rohrer Cosmetic Restorative Dentistry, we aim to provide you with the beautiful, functional smile that you deserve. One of the services that we offer to help you achieve your oral health and cosmetic goals is the creation and placement of a custom crown. A dental crown, also commonly known as a cap, is a dental treatment that is designed to restore a tooth to its former size, shape, and in some cases, color. Dental crowns are often used to restore teeth that cannot be repaired with other dental restoration treatments, such as fillings. Our dentists may recommend that you receive a dental crown for one or more of the following reasons:

To repair teeth that have significant decay, cracks, or fractures
To replace a large or fractured filling that is no longer performing the way it should
To complete the root canal procedure and protect the newly restored tooth
To enhance the beauty of your smile

Crowns are durable and strong and can be made to match the natural color of your teeth, if so desired. Crowns, with the proper care, are expected to last many years. However, as with most dental restorations, a crown may eventually need replacement, especially if any maltreatment has taken place.

Procedure

TMJ treatment starts with a thorough examination of your mouth. On your first appointment, the dentist will start the diagnosis.

This procedure involves:

History taking: this involves a couple of questions about your medical history and your current symptoms.
Visual Examination: this is key to establish the source of your pain.
Joint Examination: it involves a series of exercises and movements to check the movement of your jaw and joints.

Once the molds have been taken, your porcelain crown will be custom-created in a dental laboratory over the course of approximately two weeks. During this two-week period, you will wear the temporary crown. In preparation for the temporary crown, the dentist will numb your tooth and clean away any present tooth decay. Your tooth will then be shaped to properly fit the temporary crown.

At your second appointment, the temporary crown will be removed. The doctor will prepare your tooth for the final crown by thoroughly cleaning your tooth again.

The new crown will be carefully placed to ensure that function and beauty is restored to your smile. We invite you to schedule a dental consultation to learn more about crowns and how they can benefit you.

Bridges

A dental bridge is a non-removable dental appliance used to replace a missing tooth (or missing teeth). A bridge can be used to accomplish the following:

Fill gaps left my missing teeth
Prevent the shifting of teeth due to extra space
Restore a fully functioning bite
Retain your face’s natural shape
Replace a partial denture
Promote a natural, radiant smile

Bridges comprise two crowns which go over the teeth, adjacent to the gap. We call these abutment teeth. Between the crowns, we place an artificial tooth, known as a pontic. This tooth will look and function like a natural tooth. Best of all, when you smile, no one will know you have a dental appliance!

Please call us to schedule an appointment if you are interested in receiving a bridge treatment.

I instantly felt trust, and was excited about getting started on the work. The procedure was comfortable, easy, and the doctor was very gentle. I now love my teeth mad smile. Not a day goes by that someone doesn’t comment how beautiful my smile is.

When I come here, I feel I’m at home. It’s quiet, nice – not a long wait in the waiting room… They are nice people – they always seem to have a smile on their face, each and every time I come. That’s one of the things I like most about this place
