Dental Crowns
Once a crown has been deemed necessary, an x-ray of your tooth will be taken. Any decay will be removed and our cosmetic dentist Dr. Alder will prepare your tooth for a crown. A digital impression will be taken and uploaded to the lab so your custom crown can be created. While your crown is being made, we will place a temporary acrylic crown to protect your tooth.
During your second visit, the temporary crown will be removed. Dr Alder will then review the shape and color of the permanent crown to ensure it is a perfect fit. The crown will then be secured using a dental adhesive. Your brand new crown will look and feel exactly like your natural teeth and no one will be able to tell the difference.
Dental Bridges
If a tooth is missing, a dental bridge can be a great option to restore the area. Bridges are similar to dental crowns in the sense that the teeth on either side of the space will be prepared for crowns. A digital impression will be taken and your bridge will be created in a lab to fit your teeth. The teeth on either side of the space will be the supports of the new restoration which will ‘bridge’ the gap.
