Benefits of Crown and Bridge Treatment:

Restores lost teeth and supports remaining teeth

Are you missing teeth or experiencing tooth damage? Our crown and bridge treatments can effectively restore your smile and provide essential support for your remaining teeth.

Restores and maintains your natural bite

A proper bite is crucial for both comfort and dental health. Our crown and bridge procedures help restore and maintain your natural bite, ensuring you can enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort.

Prevents undue stress on natural teeth

With our crown and bridge treatments, you can prevent undue stress on your natural teeth, which can lead to further complications. We prioritize your oral health and long-term well-being.

Improves your speech, smile, and chewing ability

Regain your confidence with a stunning smile, improved speech, and the ability to chew comfortably. Our treatments are tailored to enhance your overall quality of life.

Helps prevent further dental decay and gum disease

A well-fitted crown or bridge not only restores your smile but also guards against dental decay and gum disease, helping you maintain a healthy mouth.

Prevents tilting and shifting of adjacent teeth

Missing teeth can cause adjacent teeth to shift, affecting your bite and appearance. Our treatments prevent such issues, ensuring your smile stays beautiful and functional.

At Tenth Line Family Dentistry, we use superior materials like semi precious or precious metals, porcelain, or a combination of metal fused to porcelain to create durable and natural-looking crowns and bridges.

The Crown and Bridge Procedure at our Orléans Office

When you choose Tenth Line Family Dentistry for crown and bridge work, you can expect a carefully tailored procedure to suit your unique needs:

• Comprehensive Oral Examination: Your journey begins with a thorough oral examination and X-rays if necessary, to determine the best course of action.
• Tooth Preparation and Impressions: Abutting teeth are prepared to accept crowns, and precise impressions are taken. These impressions serve as a model for creating your custom bridge, false tooth, or crown.
• Temporary Crown or Bridge: While your permanent restoration is being crafted, you'll receive a temporary crown or bridge to protect your teeth.
• Final Fitting and Adjustment: At your second appointment, your dentist will ensure a perfect fit and make any necessary adjustments before permanently cementing your crown or bridge in place.
• Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, you might experience mild sensitivity to extreme temperatures for a few weeks, but you'll soon enjoy the benefits of a beautifully restored smile and enhanced oral function.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are ideal for strengthening and restoring damaged or weakened teeth. Whether it's due to extensive decay, injury, or the need for root canal therapy, our crowns will look and feel just like your natural teeth.

At your initial visit, our skilled dentists will prepare your tooth, take an impression, and provide a temporary crown. The impression is then sent to a dental laboratory to fabricate your permanent crown, which will blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Dental Bridges

If you're missing one or more teeth, dental bridges offer an excellent solution. Bridges are non-removable prostheses composed of abutments and pontics. Abutments are crowns placed on adjacent teeth, while pontics bridge the gap, restoring both functionality and aesthetics.

Our process includes preparing the abutment teeth, taking impressions, fitting a temporary bridge, and ultimately placing your custom bridge, ensuring a perfect fit.

Cost and Care in Orléans

• Cost of Bridges: The average cost of a single fixed bridge varies depending on your location and specific needs. Dental insurance typically covers approximately half of the cost. Restoring your smile and safeguarding your oral health is an investment you won't regret.
• Caring For Your Bridge: Good oral hygiene is vital to the longevity of your bridge. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are essential. Avoid sticky or hard foods, and don't chew ice cubes to keep your bridge in top condition.
