Dental Crowns & Bridges are the best way to restore your smile when a tooth is cracked, chipped, broken, or lost. They can also be used to cover a large filling or implant, and improve the appearance of a tooth.
A Dental Crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged or decayed tooth, or a tooth that needs root canal therapy. Made from gold, porcelain, or metal alloys, these restorations can help you look and feel your best.
When a crown is needed, we can usually place it in one visit to our office, or in a short period of time at the dental lab. We use our own CAD/CAM technology to ensure that your dental crown will fit and function beautifully with minimal discomfort, so you can have your smile back in no time!
The first step is a thorough evaluation by Dr. Daas to determine if you are a candidate for a crown or bridge. This will include a detailed examination of your teeth and gums.
We may recommend a crown, even if you do not have a missing tooth, if you have serious damage to the structure of the tooth and require more extensive work. The crown will cover the entire tooth, protecting it from further harm and restoring its size and shape.
Once your Sarasota dentist has determined you are a good candidate for a crown, we will prepare your teeth to make room for the restoration. We will reduce the outer edges of the teeth affected by the loss and take an impression of your bite, which will serve as the mold for the bridge.
After the impression is taken, your dentist will create a temporary crown or bridge to protect your prepared teeth while your permanent restoration is being made at our dental laboratory. We will check the fit of your restoration and adjust it as necessary until it is ready for placement.
Your new restoration will be a strong and beautiful replacement for your missing tooth. It will be made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.
You will need to maintain a healthy oral hygiene routine and regular appointments with us in order for your bridge to last. When cared for properly, dental bridges will not only give you back your natural smile but they will also improve your overall oral health.
Whether you need a crown or a bridge, your dentist is committed to providing you with the highest level of care possible. Our experienced staff will help you understand all your options and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
