Dental crowns are a common tooth restoration that acts as a cap over a tooth. Dental crowns are commonly used to protect and strengthen a weakened or decayed tooth. They are an excellent dental option because they look and feel just like your natural tooth.
Dr. Cole Smith might recommend a dental crown to:
- Strengthen a tooth after root canal therapy
- Tooth part of a dental implant
- Protect a tooth from grinding or clenching
Dental crowns can also be used to enhance your smile cosmetically; for example, an oddly shaped tooth or badly stained enamel can be treated with a dental crown.
Dental Bridges
If you have lost a tooth or had one removed, you might experience trouble eating your favorite foods or speaking clearly. Dental bridges at our Bastrop, TX, dental office can give you a beautiful and functional smile again by restoring your tooth.
Dental bridges restore missing teeth by using neighboring teeth as an anchor to hold a dental crown in the place where the gap is. Bridges come as one unit, and Dr. Cole will custom-tailor it to fit perfectly in your mouth and look completely natural.
At CS Family Dentistry, Dr. Cole Smith might recommend a dental bridge to accomplish the following:
- Fill the gap left after tooth loss
- Prevent shifting of adjacent teeth
- Allow you to chew and speak normally
