Dental crowns and bridges in Del Mar, California, offer practical solutions for restoring damaged or missing teeth. Crowns repair and protect compromised teeth, while bridges, often in combination with crowns, fill gaps left by missing teeth.
I-Rise Dental Boutique offers high-quality restorations crafted from advanced materials, ensuring your crowns and bridges stand the test of time. However, proper care is crucial to keep them looking and functioning at their best. Dr. Anu Mohan shares expert tips to help you maintain your dental crowns and bridges for lasting results.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped appliance worn over the remaining tooth structure to enhance its function and appearance. The dental crown rebuilds your tooth to ensure it functions optimally without pain. Dental crowns have several uses in dentistry. The dentist can use a crown to repair damaged teeth, replace missing teeth, or make cosmetic modifications.
A dental bridge is designed to replace one or more consecutive missing teeth. It uses artificial teeth (pontics) to fill the gap left by missing teeth. The natural teeth anchor traditional bridges on either side of the gap. However, many patients opt for implant-supported bridges, which offer greater stability without altering two healthy teeth.
It depends on your choice of materials, location in the mouth, and how you maintain your teeth. However, porcelain dental crowns can last 15 years or longer. The porcelain material is resilient enough to withstand everyday chewing and biting mechanical loads. Similarly, porcelain bridges can last many years with proper care.
Practicing excellent oral hygiene is critical to keeping your bridges and crowns healthy. Here’s what you need to keep your dental restorations healthy and beautiful.
Dental crowns and bridges require the same care as natural teeth. However, if you’d like to learn more about maintaining your crowns or bridges, call I-Rise Dental Boutique at (858) 465-8717. We’re also here to assist with placing or replacing your restorations!
